Mutiara Beach Resort

Fantastic quiet (aside from the fishing boats) eco resort, nothing like the club med versions on the island. We loved it, being in a beautiful little open bungalow steps from the beach, spending our time on the quiet beach. Spa was beautiful and the massage was great and very professional. All contact with the owner was great and very helpful. Food was good and clean. Coconuts were fabulous!

Gives you the chance to step into nature, rustic and simple living amidst the sound of crickets & cicadas. I saw many native birds here! I enjoyed the natural tropical weather that varies from cool & rainy to warm & humid. The food was so good, I was amazed by the food options here and have to say food here is much better than other more luxury resorts. Also the staff are super nice and accommodating, making it a very good experience. The beach is very clean, beautiful and quiet. The view of the sunrise is amazing. Very good getaway from the city, for sure!

We spent 4 magical nights on honeymoon at Mutiara Beach Resort in August 2025, and I don’t have enough space to fully capture all the amazing parts of our trip. Mutiara is truly somewhere special; my wife and I felt it immediately. The staff are so kind and attentive, the resort is so beautiful and natural, and the approach throughout is simply amazing. It wasn’t hard to get here by ferry to BBT from Singapore. There’s so many things to see and activities to do. And you can have food and drinks brought to wherever you’re relaxing or activity-ing around the resort within the hour. Everything is filled with such kindness and warmth. A small warning… if you expect a lot of amenities and everything to be easy when you travel, you might find the beauty of Mutiara gets overshadowed by its simplicity. Whether it’s being exposed to the elements (and insects!) at all hours, cold showers, or sleeping under a mosquito net, Mutiara’s style maybe isn’t for all travellers. But for those excited by a little bit of adventure or who love to feel connected to nature, all of these things are more of a feature than a bug (even the insects!). Some specifics that others may find helpful: * The menu is the perfect blend of Indonesian classics and international dishes to suit all palets. Most nights, we loved trying fresh local fish cooked in a variety of Indonesian spices; but we were glad to have access to freshly-made pizza when we needed it. And the fresh coconuts from the plantation and local teas were amazing, but we could always get a good coffee or can of soda when we wanted them. * We had a great time trying the yoga with Rian. The stunning pavilion by the sea made for beautiful meditation and mindfulness, while the yoga put us through our paces! This is a great getaway for those looking to practice either yoga or mediation, or a good activity to break up the day and stay active for those without experience.

Peaceful, natural surroundings, beautiful beach, friendly helpful staff. It felt like we had the place to ourselves, a private paradise, even though there were other guests there. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife, lizards and monkeys and butterflies. The spa treatments were excellent, especially the aromatherapy massage, and very reasonably priced. The food was delicious, and could be delivered to your hut. The cool showers were refreshing and the facilities in the hut were perfectly adequate. We joined in with yoga on the Sunday at the yoga studio outside by the beach, hired kayaks and paddle boards and swam in the sea. The hammock on the hut verandah was lovely to relax in.

The sea breeze was perfect at the river hut front porch, napping on the provided hammock was amazing. Staff were all very personable and efficient, food variety pretty good and the pizza was simply excellent! You can request to be served your food at the restaurant, at the beach, or at your hut. Lots of animals to observe in the surroundings including family of monkeys that seem to pass through the property every morning. Beach just a short stroll away through the grove of trees. Oh and the river spa! Situated over the river on floating huts, very atmospheric and relaxing to hear the sounds of nature while you get a massage.
