Are you ready to step back in time? To be transported to the untouched? To the Indonesia that once was? This is Rote Island. It lies at the southernmost end of the Indonesian archipelago, and most who go report an uncanny sense of peacefulness and a slowing down of time. The Lonely Planet guide describes it as, “A slender limestone jewel, with powdery white sand beaches and epic surf” and the description is spot on. Most report Rote as “the way Bali used to be, decades ago”.
Nemberala Beach Resort is a modern property amidst the turned back hands of time. There are 8 beautifully crafted bungalows with local quarried stone, exposed regional hardwoods, and traditional Rotenese alang roofs with outdoor bathrooms and equipped with a/c. The resort sits on the edge of the stunningly blue ocean with a sunset to rival any in the world.
Due to the runway in Rote currently under repair and estimated to be fixed by May, we are creating the travel plan around the runway not being repaired. If the runway is repaired, then we will skip the night in Kupang , go straight to Rote on the 14th and you get a bonus night at NBR.
The transfer package is included in your retreat package.
Current Plan (with night in Kupang):
Please plan to arrive in Bali no later than 13th of October.
14 Oct - Group travel Bali /Kupang Lion Air
