By Air — Fly into Maratua (MUA)

Small aircraft connect Maratua with three mainland cities in East Kalimantan:

  • Tarakan (TRK) → Maratua (MUA)

  • Samarinda (AAP) → Maratua (MUA)

  • Tanjung Redeb – Berau (BEJ) → Maratua (MUA)

The approach is quiet and scenic: coastlines, reefs, and clear turquoise water beneath the wings.

On arrival at Maratua Airport (MUA), our team will be there to welcome you and assist with the onward transfer.

Recommended from Java & Bali:

For guests travelling from Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, or Bali,
we recommend routing through Samarinda (AAP) for a smoother and more direct connection to Maratua.

If you need help choosing flights or arranging reservations, our team can assist with the booking process.

By Sea — Boat directly to Arasatu

For those who enjoy travelling over water, two ocean routes cross the Derawan seas:

  • Tanjung Redeb (BEJ) → Arasatu

  • Tarakan (TRK) → Arasatu

Both routes arrive directly at Samamea, Arasatu’s floating restaurant and jetty.
Your first step onto the resort is already above the sea — calm water, open sky, and the sound of the ocean around you.

From Airport to the resort

After landing at MUA, your journey continues with:

  • a short car ride along the island roads,

  • or a brief connecting boat trip,

depending on weather, tides, and your arrival time.
Our team coordinates every detail in advance so the transition feels smooth and unhurried.
