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.
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 Bališs
National Park. 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.
