About Maleo Moyo Hotel & Dive Resort
Maleo Moyo is a family-run boutique stay at the tip of Labuan Aji village on Moyo Island — a quiet island where real life, nature and peace still feel untouched.
We built Maleo Moyo not just as a place to sleep, but as a home base for divers, snorkelers, explorers and slow travellers — anyone who wants to experience island life at its own pace.
Our on-site SSI dive centre is at the heart of the experience: guided dives, snorkeling trips and courses that introduce you to the extraordinary reefs surrounding the island. And whether you come to dive, learn, snorkel, explore the waterfalls, or simply slow down by the sea, Maleo Moyo is your calm in a world that often moves too fast.
The Island of Moyo
Pulau Moyo is a small island in Indonesia, near the north coast of Sumbawa. It is part of West Nusa Tenggara and lies close to the equator.
The island is quiet and not crowded. Most visitors have never heard of Pulau Moyo, which makes it a special place to visit. About 4,000 people live here in small villages. Local life is simple and close to nature, with fishing and farming as the main activities.
Pulau Moyo is a protected nature area and is home to many animals such as birds, including the rare Maleo bird, monkeys, deer, and bats. The sea around the island is also protected and has healthy coral reefs and rich marine life.
The island is also home to the famous Mata Jitu Waterfall, known for its natural pools and clear water. Nearby, divers and snorkelers can explore the well-known Takat Sagele reef, famous for its coral and sea life.
Visiting Pulau Moyo means enjoying nature on land and in the sea. It is a peaceful place where island life and nature come together for a relaxing and memorable stay.
