The Resort
The Resort has 10 bungalows built amongst a palm tree plantation edging the white sand beach of “Tanjung Sanghiang” a turquoise lagoon and coral reef with the “Segara” temple and its centuries old Kapok tree as its setting.

The architecture is inspired from the romantic round shaped buildings familiar to the Eastern Indonesian archipelago and a lot of the South Pacific island. Materials used are in harmony with the natural landscape and local tradition; Thatched roofs, Coral and earth pigmented wall rendering, fine wood joinery and traditional decoration.

During your stay at the resort, you will observe that the bay is a very active island port. Local perahus bringing everyday to the islanders building materials, food supplies, animals and of course tourists, the fishing boats are sailing away every morning around 2 AM and back by 7 AM.
