The 8 traditional cottages are built on stilts facing the beach and the sea, each with their own veranda and hammock for relaxing. On the beach there are also hammock areas where guests can read a book, meet for a cold beer and watch spectacular sunsets. In the morning you will wake to the sounds of the local birds.
The traditional Indonesian meals, often served on the beach, are made with fresh ingredients including the catch of the day brought in by the local fishermen. Wia's spaghetti vongole is delicious and, if you're lucky, you will also be able to enjoy Wia's chips! The island has only one very small village just up the beach from Hoga Island Dive Resort so you really feel far away from crowds. For non-divers, walking around the island, a visit to the local sea nomad village or hopping onto the dive boat to go snorkelling are just some of the options available. We also have a small library of books in various languages as well as marine life reference books.
The Resort's involvement with the local community includes providing local children with a boat to take them to and from school each day through funds raised by the charity (www.piara.nl) set up by its Technical Advisor. On Sundays, the children often clean the beaches to earn money to pay for their school uniforms and shoes. Resort guests sometimes help with English lessons in local schools.
