Location Amanawana is the only resort on Pulau Mojo (Mojo Island), a pristine nature reserve 15km north of the coast of larger Sumbawa Island, just east of Bali and Lombok.
Getting there Travel through Bali's Ngurah Rai airport near capital Denpasar. Once there, you can pick up a scheduled Trans Nusa hopper flight via Lombok to Mojo's nearest airport on neighbouring Sumbawa Island, then take a 45-minute boat tip and 10-minute car transfer to the hotel. Alternatively, the resort recommends Travira Air's amphibious floatplane, which lands right on the bay in front of the camp.
When to go The best time to visit is in June and July, though the seas are clear and quiet from April. In most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April and the dry season between May and September. December and January see Indonesia at its most humid and rain tends to come in sudden tropical downpours, but it can also rain for more prolonged periods.
