Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.
Our Driftwood Suite is a gorgeous octagonal 'hut' made almost entirely from natural materials - the floors, structural poles, and most of the furniture is made from driftwood found on local beaches. The roof is thatched, and the 'walls' can open and close, featuring bamboo blinds which open up to gorgeous 270 degree views of the aquamarine waters on our atoll.

On the fast east side of the island, the hut gets great views of sunrise and sunset, and has its own private beach.

The space
Desa Laguna is Pulau Seribu's freshest and most regenerative private island resort, featuring 11 different accommodations as well as a gorgeous bamboo lounge where all meals are served, and where you have access to free flow quality coffee, teas, mineral water, and therapeutic hot ginger water. All meals, basic beverages, and even snacks are included in your package.

Our food has excellent reviews, and is served buffet style. We cater to various dietary preferences, so feel free to let us know if you are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. We also serve wild-caught local fish.

The island is surrounded by aquamarine waters and beautiful coral reefs, and 15 lagoons within swimming / paddling distance.

The whole island was designed with sustainability and regeneration in mind. We are solar powered and on track to being one of the most energy efficient resorts in the world, we build most of our structures with natural materials like driftwood and bamboo, we plant mangroves and baby corals to help re-wild the area and offset our carbon footprint, and we source everything as responsibly and sustainably as possible.

Guest access
Desa Laguna's common facilities include our bamboo lounge, where all our meals are served. While the lounge itself is on the island, it connects to a long open wooden deck, which has lounge chairs to sun bath and enjoy the gorgeous views of the sea, as well as our small mangrove forest. At night, you can stargaze when it's not cloudy, and we have underwater lights at the edge of our deck which attracts a variety of nocturnal sea life.

In addition to our lounge, you are welcome to explore the rest of the island, including our west beach, with views and easy access to our mangrove forest. Part of your package includes the planting of a mangrove baby seedling. There are also hammocks dotted around the island in case you'd like to snooze or read a book :)

At our equipment hut, you can select your snorkeling gear or take out one of our high quality stand up paddle boards to explore the atoll and our many lagoons. The use of this equipment is also included in your package.

Other things to note
Our prices on Airbnb are inclusive of accommodation, all meals during your stay (served buffet style), free flow quality coffee and teas, mineral water, use of snorkeling equipment, stand up paddle boards, mangrove planting, taxes and services. The only thing they don't include is a round trip boat ticket from North Jakarta (about USD 47 / Rp. 700,000 / person) and entrance ticket for National Park as Desa Laguna is located in an area belongs to the National Park, which we can help you purchase after you book. We do this by sending you a special request after you book, or we can also send you a special offer.

The boat leaves from "Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa", North Jakarta. Boarding time is at 8:00 am everyday once a day. It's back from the island around 2:00 - 3:30 pm (we will know it on the D-day as its schedule depends on how many passengers and how many resorts the boat picks them up). It arrives back at the pier around 4:30 - 5:00 pm.

In case you have to go on a flight, we suggest that you choose a flight on 9 pm or later.

Please also note that the Driftwood Hut has a minimum occupancy of 3 people per night during the weekends, and 2 people during the weekdays. If you'd like to book a hut for two, we suggest our Sunrise Hut or our Bamboo Hut.
