The resort consists of 11 generous bungalows, 1 single bungalow and 3 villas.
Bungalow
The bungalows are spacious (40 m2) and designed in typical Balinese style. They are built from local wood and bamboo, the roof is covered by alang-alang. They fit perfectly into the landscape and are arranged to ensure, that you have a lot of privacy in your bungalow. All bungalows offer A/C.
The bungalows also have a generous terrace with a view of the sea. There is a comfortable outdoor bed on the terrace, where you can also sleep at night (a mosquito net can be installed by the staff if desired). The bathrooms are located at the back of the bungalows, partly covered (toilet and sink) and partly outdoor (shower).
Sendiri - Single Bungalow
Sendiri, the single bungalow, is located very centrally, right next to the pool. It is air-conditioned and has similar furnishings to the double bungalows, but is somewhat smaller. The bathroom is also partially open (shower) and partially roofed (washbasin and WC). You have a direct view onto the pool from the small terrace.
Villa Ayam I & II
A separate section of the resort, above the garden, is the location for two comfortable air-conditioned villas with a private pool and garden. These villas are ideal for families or guests seeking plenty of privacy. You can retreat to this idyllic spot, free from all disturbances. If you wish, we will bring your meals to the villa, or you can also take them in our restaurant.
Villa Ayam I accommodates up to four guests; Villa Ayam II has room for two guests. The two villas can be rented separately or together.
Villa Anton
Villa Anton is located near the dive base. It’s a cheaper accommodation for two people with air-conditioning, but without sea view. It’s the perfect choice for people who spend most of their time underwater.

Dive Information
Dive Overview
The underwater world in Bali offers a great variety of species. Located in the southwestern part of the coral triangle, the richness of the coral reefs is unique. More than 3.500 species have been discovered here. The Indonesian current is in charge of transporting plankton to the reefs around Bali. This very important current transports the water from the Pacific Ocean, via Java and Banda Sea, to the Indian Ocean. This optimal geographic situation guarantees the great diversity of fish, coral, and critters; including nudibranchs, rhinopias, ghost pipefish, cowries, boxer crabs, mimic octopus, wonderpus and many more.
The Alam Batu house reef, situated directly off the resort, is a wonderful and mostly untouched reef of over 800 meters. The coral diversity varies from soft corals, black corals, table corals and gorgonians up to 2 meters in diameter. The corals shelter a fantastic underwater world with many schools of fish (including juvenile barracudas, snappers), reef sharks, seahorses, harlequin shrimps and other critters.
With a bit of luck you can also see dolphins, pilot whales and ocean sunfish passing by.
Aside from the beautiful house reef, there are numerous nearby dive sites that offer a variety of diving options including coral diving, muck diving, wreck diving, and awesome night diving. By boat, it only takes 15 minutes to get to the "Liberty" wreck or to the famous dive spots "Drop off", "Ulami" and "Coral Garden" in Tulamben.
Alam Batu is also an outstanding place for macro photographers. Our dive guides are great at spotting micro critters such as pygmy sea horses and other small species.
