Upon arriving at the airport, drivers shout, 'La P'tite Kepa?' – thus is the popularity of this French-owned, solar-powered dive resort. There are 11 bungalows, three of which are traditional Alor home replicas with shared bathrooms, relaxing open decks and beds in the roof. Fresh and memorable meals are eaten family-style, but bringing cheese and chocolate is playfully encouraged by staff.
Most of the bungalows are standard thatched bamboo bungalows with attached outdoor bathrooms. All have sea and island views. There are three beaches, including an exquisite sliver of white sand on the west side with spectacular sunset views and good snorkelling offshore. Snorkelling equipment is available for 50,000Rp per day, and snorkellers can join the dive boat for 100,000Rp per day. In July and August divers get priority for bookings. Reserve your room well in advance.
The resort recycles, and conserves water and power. It costs 20,000Rp each way to get there by local fishing boat from the mainland.
