There’s ‘remote’ where you’re an hour or so from the bright city lights, and then there’s remote where the nearest town is a long drive and a flight away!
Bo’a Vida Rote falls into the second category. When you want a bit of excitement, there’s a host of activities to try, including diving, kite surfing, inland trekking and sailing, to give you a different experience of island living. And then, of course, there’s the world-class surfing…
Beyond boutique, the resort has only a couple of castaway-style beach bungalows, each with an uninterrupted view of the shoreline. The larger is the ideal location for a proper family adventure escape, while the smaller is the ultimate romantic hideaway. This is the ideal place to explore Indonesia’s rugged side; somewhere to come when you want nothing but clear seas, untrodden sands and a crisp horizon.

Why we love it
“Bo’a Vida was the perfect balance between cut-off and luxurious. We felt properly rested for the first time in ages, and the scenery was unbelievable.”
Unspoilt location
Honestly, it seems impossible not to love this place. There are times in life when we all feel the need to really get away from urban living, not just to the beach down the road but to a place where those roads don’t even exist. Arriving on the island is an honest breath of fresh air, and a stay at Bo’a Vida Rote, in its extraordinarily unspoilt location, nourishes body, mind and soul in a way few places can.
Community connections
With such a remote location and just a handful of rooms, it’s not too surprising that life at Bo’a Vida Rote is interwoven into Rote Island’s community rhythms. The hotel was built by local crafts people, and guests are frequently connected with the local community through story exchanges, social activities, daily life and language learning. A stay here offers the chance for a real glimpse of local island life.
What can you do at Bo’a Vida Rote?
Ride Rote Island’s famous surfing breaks, or try a variety of other water activities including kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, diving and fishing. Wander along the shoreline, or head inland to explore the island’s inner terrain and visit local villages.
