Moyo Island Resort
Moyo Island Resort is a small, family-run beachfront property on Pulau Moyo, just off the north coast of Sumbawa.
It sits at the quiet end of the village, away from other accommodation, directly on the water with coral visible right off the beach. Three simple room types, all beachfront, all with a private balcony facing the sea.
Moyo Island itself is a protected nature reserve: jungle interior, a coastline ringed with reef, and Mata Jitu, the waterfall locals call “Lady Diana Waterfall” after her visit in 1993. The resort runs its own boat for snorkeling trips, fishing, waterfall picnics, and day trips to Satonda’s volcanic crater lake or the traditional village of Sebotok.
Rooms
All three room types sleep 2 and share the same beachfront setup: private balcony, sea view, private bathroom. The difference is cooling and bed configuration.
