A unique experience!
Our dive sites reflect a good cross-section of what Indonesia has to offer. Dive in and be fascinated by turtles, reef sharks, cuttlefish, and many more. Our dive sites offer even the widely travelled and experienced diver a surprising, breathtaking experience, as well as fun diving for families and beginner. A highlight for photographers and scuba enthusiasts! Read more...
Welcome to Desert Point Lodge in the beautiful Southwest of Lombok. Besides the main touristic areas, such as the Gili islands and Senggigi, Lombok has way more to offer. Get off the beaten path and enjoy the authentic Indonesian way of life in the Sekotong!
Dive in - the diverse underwater world around the bay of Sekotong and find relaxed diving and plentiful macro life! As the sea is fairly shallow, visibility is never crystal clear but this doesn't affect the caliber of the dive sites. Our reefs are full of bright soft corals and colourful crinoids, which harbour an amazing variety of rare marine life, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses and more. You're in search of great scuba diving and a stress-free environment? You've found the right place! Read more...
The lodge is made up of comfortable, tastefully furnished Teakwood Bungalows. 2 free-standing with queen size beds, and 2 with a double and a triple room. The terrace invites to enjoy a relaxed post dive evening, and the bay offers pristine beaches for swimming and relaxing!
Around the rather remote bay of Belongas you'll find the dive sites "The Magnet" and "The Cathedral", where the seasonable sighting of schooling barracudas, tunas, and other pelagic life is fairly regular. Apart from the mobula ray season in September, hammerheads like to school around the Magnet in June until early November. As dive conditions can at times be quite challenging, we recommend diving "The Magnet" only to the more experienced diver! Read more...
