Imagine a place where time slows down, where the ocean’s vibrant underwater world unfolds before your eyes, and where each dive is a journey into the extraordinary. Welcome to Alor, your gateway to one of Indonesia’s most pristine and secluded underwater realms.

Nestled within the Coral Triangle, Alor is a hidden gem among Indonesia’s 17,000 islands, lying east of Bali and Flores, and north of Timor. Surrounded by the Savu Sea to the south and the Banda Sea to the north, Alor is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province. This region boasts some of the best scuba diving in the world, with exceptional marine biodiversity and pristine coral reefs that remain untouched and vibrant.

Divers can encounter a wide range of marine life, from the elusive blue ring octopus to the majestic hammerhead shark, making it a destination where there is truly something for everyone.

The coral reefs around Alor remain pristine and untouched, showcasing their vibrant colors. You’ll discover an underwater garden bursting with a rich variety of hard and soft corals, spreading across the ocean floor and cascading down the breathtaking walls.

Alor’s waters are known for their exceptional clarity, reaching up to 40-50 meters visibility. Alor is located in a region influenced by strong ocean currents and cold upwellings, which help flush out sediment and bring in nutrient- rich waters. These currents not only enhance water clarity but also prevent the accumulation of particles.

With over 50 dive sites within a 40 minute boat ride, Alor remains a hidden gem, far less frequented than more renowned dive destinations. Its relative seclusion means fewer crowds, offering a more peaceful and intimate diving experience.

The underwater topography around Alor includes underwater pinnacles and caves providing diverse and beautiful diving. The region offers a range of dive sites, from dramatic drop-offs and walls to gentle slopes and muck diving sites. This variety caters to all levels of divers and interests, whether you’re into macro photography or big pelagic encounters.

Beyond the underwater adventures, Alor offers a chance to experience local cultures and traditions. The island’s unique traditions and communities add an enriching cultural dimension to the dive trip.

For those seeking the perfect blend of adventure and comfort, Alor Tanapi Dive Resort is your ideal destination. A boutique getaway situated in the heart of Alor’s premier dive spots, Alor Tanapi is a top choice for travelers. Opened in May 2023, this dive resort was founded by two passionate dive professionals with a deep love for Alor’s marine life and natural beauty.

Dining at Alor Tanapi is a treat in itself. Enjoy your meals on the restaurant’s terrace, where you can soak in panoramic ocean views and, with a bit of luck, spot dolphins or pygmy blue whales passing by. Meals are served in a family-style setting, featuring a mix of Indonesian, Southeast Asian, and international cuisines, all crafted into delicious homemade dishes.

The resort features six exquisitely designed bungalows, including a Hillside Standard Bungalow, Oceanfront Standard Bungalows, and the newly constructed Oceanfront Deluxe and Seaview Deluxe Bungalows.

Each bungalow is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and a mosquito net, offering the choice of a king-size bed or twin beds. You’ll also enjoy a private open-air ensuite bathroom with a hot shower, a Western-style toilet, a desk, and wardrobe space.
