Air Beroi Island (Biak: Arborek) is an island in Meos Mansar district, in the Raja Ampat regency, in southwest Papua. It has been a tourist village since 2009. The island's inhabitants depend on the sea and work as fishermen. However, since its status as a tourist village, some residents have become guides, innkeepers, tour operators and weavers. The island has a limited supply of clean water and vegetables, both of which are brought from Waisai. The only available brackish water on the island is used for toilets and lavatories.
