Utopia Rote Lodge

La vue est sublime !! Très bien entretenu, mon séjour était très agréable.

Rien à signaler

Beautiful views and calm in the nature. The landscaping of the property is expertly conceived. The roads between houses are softly meandering. While it is a short scooter ride away from the main Nemberala spots, the beauty of the surroundings and serenity makes up for the time.

Quiet, rustic, romantic, comfy beds, incredible food, beautiful pool.

Delicious breakfast and pasta dishes, amazing sunset views, refreshing pool, quiet nights. Had some very relaxed days in Utopia and would definitely recommend this accommodation!

Un coin de paradis. Vue magnifique. Le personnel toujours souriant. Nous recommandons ce magnifique lodge.

Rien

It looks wonderful and the view is absolutely stunning. The rooms are open (as in a roof, no walls, outside shower and toilet with generous hot water), so you hear sounds of animals at night. But in a good way. Fan and very solid klamboe, so no worries on mosquitoes etc. Good swimming pool, great breakfast and diner if you want. Staff is very helpful in renting motorbike or activities. Yes, it is not at the beach, but the benefits of this lodge and the quick and easy motor ride into the village (max 8 mins) makes it a very good (I think better) choice. Would make same choice next time😘.

Nothing. All good!

We loved our stay at Utopia Eco Lodge. The 180-degree ocean view is unreal. The lodge is set back and built into the cliffside, so it feels like you’re floating above the trees. Sunrise and sunset from there are something else. The food was insanely good, honestly the best pasta on the island. And the staff were warm, helpful, and have such a good eye for detail you can really feel the care they put into everything. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, surf, and soak in that huge, peaceful view.

Unique property concept with ocean view, beautiful forest around with many birds, very quiet area during the night, exceptional stargazing.

Manageable issues with water supply in our room

This place was beyond incredible. My partner and I loved it so much that we kept extending our stay — we just didn’t want to leave. We stayed in the Pride Suite, and it was perfection. The view was breathtaking, and we had access to a whole area that felt completely our own, with different spaces to relax and enjoy. Even the toilet had the best view imaginable! The staff were amazing — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Breakfast each morning was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and the dinners we had in the evenings were just as exceptional. The owner and his son went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, from their hospitality to helping us organize things and sharing lovely conversations and walks. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise — they’ve created something very special here.

As vistas são incríveis em todos os momentos do dia: o amanhecer emociona e o pôr-do-sol é simplesmente deslumbrante. A piscina oferece uma paisagem de tirar o fôlego, e o quarto também tem uma vista fascinante, que reforça a sensação de estar em sintonia com a natureza. O staff é impecável, pessoas incríveis, super prestáveis e atenciosas. A comida é deliciosa. Sem dúvida alguma, uma estadia que vale cada momento.

La struttura permette di vivere un'esperienza più che un soggiorno. Prendetevi il vostro tempo e godetevi l'isola e la struttura. Ci è stato dato un grande lodge con vista magnifica, letto comodo e pulito con zanzariera. Vista mare direttamente dal letto. Tutto integrato perfettamente con la natura del luogo. Il proprietario ci ha dato ottimo consigli per visitare l'isola e altre parti dell'Indonesia.

The pool and property was nice although very poorly maintained

Excellent breakfast. Good location

Le cadre est ressourçant, calme, beau. J’ai tout aimé dans cet endroit, c’est encore plus beau que sur les photos. Les petits déjeuners et les dîners sont délicieux .

Je n’ai eu aucune fausse note durant ce séjour de six jours. C’est peut-être juste un peu plus loin du centre, mais la location d’une moto ne coûte pas très cher, et c’est un plaisir d’arpenter ces petites routes désertes.

Truly beautiful place with views in very good location close to beach and village center. Quiet, clean and surrounded by nature. It’s my second time in this place and pretty sure not the last one 😊

The whole area is very peaceful, and the room has everything you need. Also you can watch sunsets out of the bed and the view is amazing!

Utopia is absolutely beautiful. The views are fantastic, The place is really inmerge in nature, a perfect place to relax and rest. Food is exceptional, breakfast are quite complete and well made, healthy and some other great options in the menu. The staff and his host, Aimone, are fantastic people who makes you feel very welcome. Aimone helps you with any needs or curiosities you need to know about Rote.

I don’t think there’s something we can say that we didn’t like

11/10 points. Stunning views, spotless, tranquil setting, nice staff, great host- just an extraordinary place to stay.

Nothing.

Stunning location, family feeling, large rooms

Internet connectivity in rooms was not available, no work surface in room

I had the most amazing stay at Utopia Rote Lodge. Aimone went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, even giving me the best room since I was the only guest for the first few days. The food was fantastic, the views were absolutely insane, and the whole experience felt magical—like living in a nature miracle. It’s peaceful, eco-friendly, and truly one of those rare places that stay with you long after you leave. I just can’t recommend it enough.

I loved everything

Incredible host who took care of us from start (before we even arrived) to finish. The view was a highlight - we were able to see surf conditions at a few breaks and enjoy serene quiet and fresh air each night. Food was amazing and great value.

Utopia Lodge on Rote Island is an absolute gem that I can't recommend highly enough. Nestled on a serene hillside, this magical retreat offers a perfect blend of tranquility and charm, with breathtaking views of the island and the best sunset you’ll ever witness. The lodge itself is thoughtfully designed, with a style that’s both simple and incredibly well-crafted, down to the smallest details. The garden is a true oasis—lush, peaceful, and brimming with life. It’s a place where you can truly relax and unwind, surrounded by nature's beauty. The host, an Italian who grew up in South Africa, is an extraordinary person who makes your stay unforgettable. His warmth and kindness shine through in everything he does, from the moment you arrive until you reluctantly have to leave. He’s not just a host; he’s someone who genuinely cares about your experience, always going the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. One of the highlights of Utopia Lodge is the food. Every meal feels like a special occasion, with a menu that changes daily, featuring home-cooked dishes made with fresh ingredients, many of which come straight from the garden. Whether it’s an Italian night or a taste of Indonesian cuisine, you’re in for a culinary treat that’s both hearty and delightful. Despite its secluded feel, the lodge is conveniently close to town—just a quick 5-minute scooter ride away—so you can easily explore the local area. But honestly, once you’re here, you might find it hard to leave the peaceful haven that is Utopia Lodge. If you’re looking for a place that offers a relaxed atmosphere, stunning views, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home, look no further than Utopia Lodge. It’s a slice of paradise that you’ll want to return to again and again.

Great views, super friendly owner, close to surfspots, nice vibes, amazing food

Utopia is so beautifully designed, working with the natural environment. The ocean view is stunning and the owner and staff are super friendly. I would totally recommend Utopia!

Nothing

This place is unique. It‘s located up the hill and a 10min drive to town. The view is awesome. The whole area has a very nice vibe. The lodge is created with a lot of thought and we really appreciated the eco-friendliness. It‘s super clean, has a very nice pool area and the staff is also super friendly. There is free water to reduce plastic waste and the food served is made out of local or even homegrown produce. We had dinner once and Aimone the owner created a lovely meal. Also breakfast was always great. There is a lot of felxibility and getting a vegan breakfast was no issue at all. Aimone created a truly amazing place! Thanks again for all the recommendations. You made our stay on Rote very special.

really enjoyed my stay at this calm precious place

Great location and view, home cooked food, haven for birds which come to drink at the pool, lovely gardens and freshwater pool, exercise mats, comfortable beds and attentive staff

Nothing, all good

Utopia is a true gem. This was my second stay here and again this place never ceases to amaze me. The food is healthy and delicious. The room we stayed in was a dream: a bit of wild Africa and Indo vibes together. Aimone is the best host, always showing us spots to chill/surf or for an adventure. <3 we'll be surely back in this dream place

Utopia is a short drive uphill from the main Nemberala strip, with views over the jungle to the sea. The rooms are comfortable, open, simple and beautiful with amazing views. Aimone is a natural welcoming host, a great cook and helped organise trips and adventures for our family. Review by Ingrid Age 8 and a half… I love the bedrooms because they are comfortable, cosy, peaceful, open air and very beautiful views! I love the pool because I love swimming so much and I love how pretty the water is and how warm the water feels when you get in. I also love the restaurant because they cook delicious meals for breakfast lunch and dinner and the beautiful sunset and sunrise over the ocean and in the evening you can enjoy the stars it sometimes even rains round the shelter I love the noise of it. Aimone is so nice and organises trips for example he went to pancake island with me and we went snorkelling and saw some really beautiful fish and we walked along the beach and we saw some turtle tracks and Aimone even cooked us some breakfast on the campfire!

I enjoyed the ECO friendly atmosphere. The staff are great and the food is phenomenal.

Quiet, serene and vibey, with great food and a family feel.

The accommodation utopia was simply fantastic. The room was clean and beautiful and was also cleaned and tidy every day. In addition, there was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere and the staff was always polite and in a good mood. Aimone also took care of us more than well and did many trips with us, such as to the mangroves. Considering the surf, Aimone is an amazing guide of all the surrounding waves and let’s you know where you should go. I could go on and on but would rather suggest you experience it yourself. Overall, we really enjoyed our time on Roti island and we will definitely come back!

Lush super chill hippy vibes, awesome food and Eamon’s a great host. Nice little swimming pool, low key Eco friendly power usage. Awesome sunset views. Lots to like here.

most of all the consistent eco friendly concept.. we stayed in a real traditional adat house and in the middle of nature. the owner Emon is very friendly and understanding. breakfast with fruits, also there was special dinner event with international menu

its bit far from the beach, only few staff.

Freshly prepared breakfast every morning! Outdoor dining area with fantastic views

Reception is tricky because of remote location, but not to bad.

We booked for 3 days and we stayed almost 1 month! We loved here! Utopia is magic, the owner and his staff will make you feel at home from the very beginning. The place is like a dream with beautiful views, quiet and calm. The pool is great and the breakfast is yummy! It’s not a fancy place, it’s a beautiful place to connect with nature and relax. We’ll definitely go back! Very very recommended! We were a family and we met so much nice people there! Thank you Aimand!
