Our Story
About Arunika
Nine rooms on a quiet stretch of black sand in Amed, where the reef starts at the shore and Mount Agung watches over the bay.
Since 2012
We built a small place on purpose, so every guest is known by name and every morning starts slowly.

How It Began
A House by the Reef
It started as a family house above Jemeluk Bay, with a few rooms for friends who came to dive and never wanted to leave.
Today there are nine rooms, a restaurant, a spa and a pool, but the idea has not changed: a quiet home on the coast, run by people from the village.

Our Philosophy
Rooted in Three Things
Mornings Without Hurry
Breakfast until noon, coffee from the hills of Kintamani and nowhere you have to be.
Born from the Reef
We opened for divers, and the reef is still our closest neighbour: we protect it, clean it and share it gently.
Built by the Village
Local stone, bamboo and hand-carved teak, made by craftsmen from the villages along the coast.
Our Promise
What You Can Expect
Known by Name
With nine rooms, our team knows every guest, their coffee and the reef they want to see.
Rooted in Amed
Most of our team grew up in the villages along the coast and love to share them.
Kind to the Coast
We refill, compost and support reef clean-ups, and never use single-use plastic.
