Marine Life Highlights
From Elusive Macro to Ocean Giants
Driven by powerful currents, Alor’s reefs host dense schools of fish, pelagic visitors, and exceptional macro life. Volcanic slopes reveal rare critters, while open water brings constant movement and energy. This balance defines Alor’s underwater world.
The Resort
A Relaxed Retreat Shaped by the Sea
Set along Alor’s volcanic coastline, the resort is nestled within a tropical forest, offering a shaded and breezy base between dives. An infinity pool overlooking Kalabahi Bay provides a quiet place to unwind at sunset.
Waterfront Bungalows
Private, Spacious & Designed for Rest
Spacious and private, the waterfront bungalows feature ocean-facing terraces and airy interiors designed for comfort and rest. Full glass frontages and open-air bathrooms create a seamless connection to the surrounding forest and sea.

Blue Whale Migration
A Seasonal Phenomenon in Alor
Alor lies along a migration corridor for blue whales, with movements linked to tidal flows and nutrient-rich upwellings in the Pantar Strait. These conditions support high plankton productivity and a dynamic pelagic ecosystem.
Sightings are most common between May and November. We’ve chosen October for its cooler, current-driven waters and strong overall diving conditions — with the possibility of blue whale encounters from the boat or near the resort.
