MATAHARI BEACH RESORT & SPA

In the north-western part of Bali, on a fine black-sandy lava beach near Pemuteran, an area yet unspoilt by tourism, is our MATAHARI BEACH RESORT & SPA located. If one`s eye wanders from our resort to the north, one will enjoy a spectacular view of the Java Sea, especially at sunrise and sunset. South of the resort bizarre mountain structures rise into the sky and build the natural entrance to Bali National Park.

Let yourself be invited to get to know the uniqueness of our resort! Enjoy the finest cuisine, find relaxation and peace, discover the culture. In short: Holiday for Body and Soul.

From Denpasar airport we can offer two transfer possibilities: An unforgettable 20 minute helicopter flight over the most beautiful parts of the island. An extraordinary start of your holiday! Or guests may be diven in one of our comfortable air-conditioned limousines and enjoy a three-hours ride through small villages and a fascinating mountain scenery. An ideal opportunity to get a first impression of Bali.

The MATAHARI BEACH RESORT & SPA was built in traditional Balinese style. For the construction of the resort, which is harmoniously integrated into the beautiful countryside, only local materials such as sandstone, marble, palemanan, wood and bamboo were used. Local craftsmen and artists have created a unique resort from this special combination of materials. Many affectionate details in the stone-carvings are waiting to be discovered.

Snorkelling and Diving

The MATAHARI BEACH RESORT & SPA is the perfect place for both snorkelling and diving. At DAVIDS' DIVE SPORT CENTER all activities are planned.
No matter whether our guests are experienced or not, if they like to use their own diving gear or one provided by the hotel, our instructor (PADI) will ensure that everyone is well prepared. Guests may have their first diving experience in our pool which has the ideal depth for training (3m).

And then they may enjoy the beautiful coral reef only 200 m away from our resort. The 10 km long untouched reef with its tropical flora and fauna (gorgonian woods, table corals, large horn coral fields) is ideal for snorkelling and diving:

Even experienced and widely travelled divers will be enthusiastic about the diving at Menjangan Island, which is part of the Bali Barat National Park and is only 50 minutes away by boat. Here divers will find almost everything tropical waters can offer: Whale sharks, gorgonian woods, sea ferns, table corals, peaceful sharks, stingrays, tortoises and a lot more. An extreme richness of tropical fish can be observed. Steep face and current diving excursions are possible.

Only the MATAHARI BEACH RESORT & SPA has the exclusive rights for a direct access to Menjangan Island by boat. No other hotel in Bali can offer this privilege.
