What kind of resort is Arasatu?
Arasatu is an eleven-villa private marine resort on Maratua Atoll, with eight Floating Villas above coral-rich seawater and three Sea View Villas directly on the cliff.
May non-staying visitors enter Arasatu?
Arasatu is reserved for registered staying guests. Public day access, casual walk-ins, and outside dining are not offered.
Does Arasatu have a beach or swimming pool?
Arasatu has no sandy beach and no conventional swimming pool. The swimming place is the natural seawater below the Floating Villas and Samamea, when tide, current, weather, and safety conditions allow.
How large are the villas?
Every Floating Villa and Sea View Villa is 55 m², comprising a 35 m² interior and a 20 m² balcony. Each is planned for two guests, with one extra bed available by prior arrangement.
Where do guests dine?
Samamea is Arasatu's floating dining venue. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner follow the published daily rhythm, while meal plans, dietary needs, celebrations, and current arrangements are best confirmed before arrival.
How do guests reach Arasatu?
Guests may fly to Maratua Airport or continue by sea from Berau or Tarakan. The Arasatu team can help check the current route and coordinate the final connection to the resort.
Are island journeys fixed in advance?
The team plans each sea journey around the route, destination access, weather, water conditions, boat, and availability for the day. Wildlife encounters remain natural and cannot be assured.
Can first-time guests try scuba diving?
Beginner Discovery Scuba may be arranged by request on selected dates only when a currently qualified instructor is available. Certified-diver journeys are planned around experience, certification, conditions, and team guidance.
What are the direct-booking cancellation terms?
Direct bookings are non-cancellable and non-refundable. One reschedule may be requested at least 48 hours before arrival, completed within 12 months, subject to availability and any rate difference. OTA bookings follow the applicable platform and rate-plan terms.
Who should guests contact for current arrangements?
Share your dates, guest count, preferred villa, and the experiences you have in mind with Arasatu's Front Office. The team will help verify availability, routes, rates, and current operating details.
