About Alami

During our time working in the industry in other and more well known parts of Indonesia we used to visit Alor for holiday. We were seeking out an off the beaten path location to spend our break time relaxing, diving & snorkeling in a place that felt unique and unspoilt. We kept returning to Alor. Once we decided to create our own dive & snorkel resort, Alor was naturally top of our list. For us, Alor always had that great at home feeling as the local people were so welcoming and friendly, the landscape unique and wild, plus the reefs and Muck absolutely amazing and diverse. After the year of scouting and obtaining land for our new resort location we moved on to site and broke ground to start building Alami Alor.

The original 8 guest /4 room resort was ready to open just in time for the annual diving & snorkeling season in 2015. We welcomed our first guests and had a great year making new relationships with those who visited our resort and our agent partners.

We also spent extensive time further exploring in search of new diving and snorkeling sites, and continuing to learn more about the local environment.

After the success of our first 2 seasons and increase in demand, we expanded the resort by adding just a few more guest bungalows and adding an additional dive boat.

Keeping to the original idea of a small boutique resort, Alami now offers 8 waterfront bungalows to our guests who can visit us as individuals or in groups and still receive that personalized service that we are known for.

True to Alami’s dedication to marine life photographers, we have launched the Alami Photo Academy where our diving & snorkeling guests with photography interests can participate in private or group coaching or workshops. They can learn or expand their existing knowledge about camera equipment, how to improve general underwater photography skills, and specialized techniques for macro and wide angle photography, all taught by our on-site Photo Pro.

After the pandemic had put the whole world on an abrupt halt for about two years, we were finally able to re-open the resort in 2022. Supporting our Alami family through the tough times, we managed to keep our team together and came back stronger: Many repeat guests trusting us once again for their diving & snorkeling adventures and new guests experiencing Alor for the very first time with us – thank you & terima kasih!

Adding an additional touch of luxury to our boutique resort, we planned and built an all new infinity pool, that was integrated well in our central guest area. With a great sunset view over the bay, it’s truly the perfect place for a drink after a long day of snorkeling and diving and we can’t wait for you to experience this new addition to Alami.
