Master Room

The newest bedroom located at the very front of the property, the master bedroom is huge and will provide guests with a comfortable place to get away from the rest of the group. A king-sized bed comes complete with a comfortable couching area, wardrobes, and your own outdoor decking with lounge. The room is air-conditioned, with fans for flexibility. With views over the gardens and onto the ocean, the master bedroom provides the luxury that one would seek when having a tropical island vacation. The large outdoor ensuite comes with his and her basinettes and cold water systems.

Bungalow West

Matching bungalows set on each side of the property, allowing for a more tropical stay. Made entirely of old rose and teak wood, the bungalows are spacious and provide ample room to add extra beds to the king bed if needed. With louvered windows, guests can open them for maximum airflow or shut them when the cool nights set in. We have designed a special AC mosquito net for nights that get hot. With your own balconies facing the waves, many hours can be spent enjoying the views. The bathrooms are private oases, with showers under the stars as a highlight

The room can be made into a king bed, or two king single beds, and the couch can be converted into two singles, making it suitable for children or singles. The private ensuite is almost as impressive as the master bedroom.

Lifestyle

Minimising our impact on the environment We try to minimise our impact on the environment, apart from the AC units the villa electricity is solar powered. In the event the main power from PLN the state power plant is off, you will have to use the fans in the rooms. Please be conscious of our solar power and try to charge your devices during the day, there is one plug for using heavy power drawing equipment in the kitchen that also uses the mains power.
Our hot water systems get their energy from solar power too, so your hot water is limited during the evenings. Our grey water is filtered into waste water gardens ensuring the water is used twice. Our clean water is trucked in from water springs ensuring that we don’t tamper with the water table.
Food is mostly bought at the local market, or from the fishermen and farmers that live in the area. Our staff come from the villages around the villa, and we have been working closely with the team at Nembrala’s Fatula Waste management site to help them with establishing proper waste facilities. Please separate your rubbish into the bins provided, that is one for organic matter, one for recyclables and the last if for waste that needs to be dumped (we are working on solutions for these too, and you can check www.roteisland.org for more information).

We generally buy our equipment in Bali or Kupang and send to location, so please be aware that the prices will be slightly more expensive for breakages due to us having to send these items from afar.
