The hype
Spotless rooms, incredible staff (shoutout to Eddy and Wayan), and a pool area that actually encourages hanging out.
Kura Kura Divers Lodge
$40-60 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You're a diver (or wannabe) who wants a social, ultra-comfortable base in Amed without the party hostel chaos.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Custom-made mattresses that guests call the 'best sleep in Indonesia'
- On-site dive center (Bali Reef Divers) with a deep training pool
- Kura Bar's wood-fired pizzas and chill post-dive social vibe
Stutt samantekt: A serious dive lodge that accidentally became the most comfortable budget stay in Amed.
Farið yfir af @hotelintro: I couldn't believe I found a place with a pool in the middle of the jungle for only $40! The staff were so welcoming, and getting my diving gear sorted right on-site was a game changer. Honestly, it felt like a total steal for the price.

Reality check
Soundproofing isn't perfect—you might hear neighbors on their terraces or the faint hum of the main road from front rooms.
- You plan to dive or snorkel daily
- You value a high-quality mattress over luxury frills
- You want to meet other travelers without being forced into a beer pong tournament

- Linens & towels: Fresh, high-quality, and plenty of them.
- Odors & scents: Fresh, no musty tropical dampness.

Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is it directly on the beach?
No, but it's a 2-minute walk across the street to Amed Beach. You aren't paying beachfront prices, though.
Do I need to be a diver to stay here?
No, plenty of snorkelers and chill-seekers stay here, but the vibe is definitely aquatic.
Is there a pool?
Yes, a 2.6m deep pool designed for dive training but great for swimming too.
How is the WiFi?
Surprisingly good for Amed—strong enough for video calls in most rooms and common areas.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's made-to-order (pancakes, eggs, fruit) rather than a sad buffet.
Can I rent a scooter here?
Yes, the front desk can arrange scooter rentals for exploring the coast.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'Japanese Shipwreck' snorkel spot is an 8km drive; ask the staff to arrange a scooter or driver, don't walk it.
- ✨
Kura Bar's pizza is legitimately some of the best in town—don't skip it just because it's 'hotel food'.
- ✨
Ask for Eddy if you want a snorkeling guide who knows where the turtles hang out.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The pool is unusually deep (2.6m) because it's for dive training—watch your step if you can't swim.
💡They have a refill station for water to reduce plastic waste (bring your own bottle).
💡The 'day beds' on the terraces are actually comfortable enough to nap on.
💡It's one of the few places in Amed with consistent hot water pressure.
💡The dive instructors hang out at the bar, making it easy to get free pro tips over a Bintang.
