The rooms
Every guest will find a secluded idyll on the barefoot island, where sustainability and environmental friendliness are combined with luxury. The bamboo villas have been created in the country’s typical architectural design using natural materials as well as recycled materials such as driftwood, alang-alang grass or rubber wood.
Care was taken to ensure that no existing trees had to be felled. The gardens have been planted with native trees and bushes, irrigation is done with recycled water, lighting is minimal so as not to disturb nature, especially the nesting turtles, in their night’s rest. The hot water system is powered by solar energy.
There are a total of twenty Beach and Sea Villas to choose from.
The Restaurant
The hotel’s restaurant, with stunning views, serves three meals a day exclusively a la carte to reduce food waste. Food leftovers are fed to fish from the hotel’s own fish farm. Ingredients from our own production are used in the preparation of the dishes.
The menu includes homemade muesli, juices, jams, homemade bread, bar snacks, ice cream, as well as homemade syrups for soft drinks. Cempedak’s water uses its own carbonated water, which is sold in recyclable glass bottles. The coffee comes from Indonesia and is fairly traded.
Spa & Leisure
On offer are: diving, stand up paddling, yoga, tennis, windsurfing, sailing, and spa treatments. The Rock Spa is a unique oasis of peace, nestled on impressive granite rocks in an eastern mangrove bay. All three double treatment rooms have views of the sea and can relax to the sound of the ocean waves.
