What We Offer
Restaurant
Our restaurant serves a variety of local and western food, including appetizers, soups, salads and a choice of tasty main courses. Our dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients from the local market and features delicious vegetarian options with organically grown vegetables.
Accommodation
We currently have 6 rooms built along the coastline and facing the ocean. Each room is equipped with a fan, while one has air conditioning. Don’t worry – it can get quite chilly at night even without AC, as we are located where the cool mountain air meets the ocean.
Diving
We take pride in being one of the first and most knowledgeable dive resorts in the Maumere bay, with over 25 years of experience under our belt. We have explored all of the neighbouring reefs, islands and cracks to map out the best diving locations for our guests.
