Samawa Seaside Resort: Treat yourself to an atmospheric holiday experience in a pretty, spacious garden resort directly on the beach in a private atmosphere and a variety of things to do in the surrounding area. Switch to relaxation and come here :-)
Location and amenities:
The Samawa Seaside Resort is located in northern Sumbawa, east of Lombok, in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) province. The complex, which can hardly be seen from the sea, is located directly opposite Moyo Island. In the morning, early risers can enjoy the sunrise and, when visibility is good, the Tambora volcano can be seen in the distance.
The buildings were not built directly on the beach, but rather set back in a beautiful garden with lots of greenery, large trees and colorful flowers. There are various cottages and bungalows of different sizes at a generous distance from each other. They are built largely out of wood in the traditional Sumbawa architectural style.
All accommodations are equipped with air conditioning, refrigerator, kettle, private bathroom and a large terrace with seating. A large glass front also allows an unobstructed view of the garden and the sea from the inside. One-bedroom homes are available for couples or solo travelers who value intimacy and privacy; Two-bedroom houses for small families or friends and four-bedroom houses for larger families or groups who value a shared space in addition to their private room.
The simple but stylish decoration and the dark Indonesian coconut wood exude a rustic charm. The warm colors create a cozy atmosphere that invites you to relax.
Guests can also swim and relax in a large infinity pool with a spacious area for sun loungers - always surrounded by greenery and with a view of the blue sea. Massages can be booked for additional relaxation.
Occupancy: max. 8 persons, dependant on Bungalow type
Restaurant:
The half-open restaurant was built in the same style and is also located in the middle of the large garden. Dishes from local and international cuisine are served here. Attention is paid to fresh ingredients and guests are provided with fresh fish, seafood, local fruit and vegetables as well as traditional Sumbawa dishes with a sea view.
Diving:
Diving trips to Moyo and the surrounding area can be booked and organized through the Samawa Seaside Resort. There are several dive boats and dive guides available. The region is considered a diving paradise far away from the usual tourist trails, which is particularly reflected in the few other divers and diving boats. The spectacular Flores Sea lies in the middle of the famous Coral Triangle, where the highest coral diversity in the world has been recorded. The entire coast of Moyo Island is a protected marine park - so there is a lot to discover underwater. Underwater lovers can look forward to colorful coral gardens, deep rock walls and shipwrecks when there is little current. The common reef and predatory fish are joined by turtles, dwarf seahorses and larger, pelagic fish such as mola molas, manta rays and whale sharks. But macro lovers also get their money's worth in the sandy seabed.
Whale sharks can be spotted in Saleh Bay all year round. Early in the morning they frolic at fishing stations where food is regularly dropped for them. You can often see several whale sharks here at the same time. Snorkeling with these gentle giants is an incredible experience that will be remembered for a long time!
