Utopia Rote Lodge

Utopia Eco Lodge is more than a stay—it’s a pause, a breath, a reset. From our cliff-top perch, the world stretched out in blues and greens: the beach meeting the forest, sky kissing the horizon. No other place we visited came close. It was a gift for my husband, a quiet renewal. And Aimone, with his open heart, made us feel not like guests, but like family coming home. Even the sawdust-scattered toilet had its poetry. Here, every view, every moment felt like it belonged only to us.

I had a horrible experience at Utopia. The short story is that my experience with Eamon (co-owner) was horrible - the guy was unprofessional, aggressive and rude. I have since heard he finds it hard to manage this behavior. It impacted my experience with Utopia and hence I am going out of my way to write a review. He does a disservice to his Indonesian business partners. I do not recommend

WOW... Pictures and words aren't enough to capture the absolute heaven of Utopia. We knew it was going to be beautiful, but were just absolutely blown away upon arrival. Every room has its own unique features with the comfort (and romance) of a queen bed with a view. The bathrooms are a journey in themselves with every detail carefully thought out to create a eco-conscious experience. Then the food... every plate that is put in front of you is created in the most beautiful way and so tasty, the best food we had ever had. We had dinners by candlelight almost every night, with the fire going, honestly it was magic. A truly rustic and natural experience, you feel like you are in the jungle but just a quick ride to the beach. I cant stop talking about the incredible experience we had at Utopia, if you are after somewhere to stay in Rote you must stay here. Aimone will help you with everything you need, what he has created is true magic on a mountain!

Peaceful silently place to stay!unique rooms made with local and sustainable materials. We were there with our 2 little kids and the staff was really nice and helpful ! It is a place save for kids and good for families! Quality food. Every day changing menu dipent of the harvest! Utopia is special! They have their own garden to grow lots of veggies ! And the view is breathtaking! So if you wanna stay out of the crowd and be in contact with nature Utopia is the place!

Getting out to one of the most beautiful island getaways was incredible and to be staying at Utopia was fantastic. From the hospitable staff and yummy food, to the elevated jungle setting the Lodging was fantastic. The pool area was great for the kids as it brought everyone together. Be ready to drive the bike to the beach, as it was a bit inland, but that also gave it an incredible experience of being in the forest. Can't wait to go back to Rote and do some more exploring
