Alor Divers Eco Resort

In order to preserve the authentic atmosphere of the place, they have taken special care when integrating the facility into the natural surroundings. You are constantly very close to nature and all that that entails. In order to maintain a friendly atmosphere and personal service, the number of guests is limited to a maximum of 14 who can be at the resort at the same time. Local people from the nearby village, some assistants from the regional capital Kalabahi and the western management make up the hospitable work team. They are determined to give you a memorable stay in this beautiful and remote resort in Indonesia that is a true escape and away from it all.
The climate in Alor is pleasant. From the beginning of April to the end of October it is usually quite dry and the nights are often surprisingly cold. It is therefore not as difficult to acclimatise as one might otherwise imagine. Also, due to the lack of stagnant fresh water, mosquitoes are rare for most of the year.
Simple restaurant with good and varied food
The restaurant is a relaxing area with opportunities for various daily activities or "inactivity". Whether you just want to relax and enjoy a drink or read a book. It is a place that, in addition to the dining room, also includes a library and a computer corner as well as a comfortable lounge. Three meals a day are served and generally as a buffet or as a family meal. There is always tea and coffee available and in the afternoon you are offered a choice of sweet or savory snacks.
Accommodation and food
The resort offers a variety of healthy meals with fresh ingredients from the local market and fresh fish from local fishermen. The meals are a carefully selected combination of Asian and international dishes that will not leave any guest dissatisfied. There is also usually the possibility to accommodate special dietary needs if you notify us well in advance of your arrival. During the period December to February the resort is closed due to the frequent wind and rain. For those who love being close to nature and like the concept of simplicity, Eco and great diving, Alor Divers is a really good choice and more than just a diving trip.

Diving in Alor
Alor has been a well-known diving destination since the late 1980s, but in the past it was difficult or inconvenient to get there. Flights here have improved, but the availability of flights varies from year to year. Sometimes it is smooth and sometimes overnight stays are required on the way. The house reef at Alor Divers has fabulously good diving, even on the bare ground, compared to the rest of Indonesia. Here you will find lots of strange invertebrates and lots of fish. The different dive sites in the strait between the islands of Pantar and Alor offer great variety and every dive will be different from each other. In the eastern parts of Indonesia and Nusa Tenggara, tourism is not that big yet and the coral reefs are incredibly prosperous and healthy. The species richness is enormous and the flowing water in the strait between the islands here supplies the reefs with lots of nutrients. With good luck, you can also see lumpfish, hammerhead sharks, reef sharks, turtles, nurse sharks, dolphins and larger whales such as blue whales, sperm whales, killer whales and pilot whales.
In Alor you will find many species of octopus, fascinating scorpionfish with various Rhinopias. Lots of frogfish, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses are also found. Various crustaceans and echinoderms fill the reefs together with sponges and corals to a fantastic color palette. Something that is very special about diving here is that it is common with various parasites. Many fish and crustaceans can be seen with different types of parasites sitting on the body or inside the body or in the mouth of fish. Really spectacular for those who like to photograph.
Chance to see big fish
Some places are known for hammerhead sharks and if you are lucky, large schools can pass here. Dolphins are common to see from the dive boat and sometimes also large whales. Sometimes eagle rays pass and large and small stingrays sometimes lie and rest on the bottom or on the reefs. Don't be alarmed if they come racing right in front of you along the reef slopes. Mantas can also sometimes be seen out in the blue or even whale sharks and thresher sharks.
Alor offers incredibly good diving and to get the most out of it you should be used to diving in flowing water. Anyone can dive here, although some spots can be a bit more challenging. For those who like to photograph beautiful and colorful reefs, this is one of the best places in the world. Many liveaboarders pass this area every year on its way between Komodo and Raja Ampat.
