Belitung Island

Travel Guide

Avete mai provato a nuotare in mare quando piove? E' come immergersi in una vasca calda quando l'acqua par perdere la sua forma.
In questa foto riporto di Belitung, un'isola in Indonesia, dove il turismo occidentale non ha ancora approdato, che mantiene autentica la cucina locale. Giusto per dire, ho affittato per un'intera giornata la long boat in foto a soli 20 euro (incluso di pilota).

Lor In Review

This hotel has the best location on the island, so far. The beach is magnificent. One of the the best beaches on this island. It is about 30 minutes away from the city, so still decent. Despite of the condition that's a bit run down, room sizes are good, clean, and the area is quite peaceful except on Sundays. For someone who loves paddleboarding, this location is ideal because I can just carry my Paddleboard to the beach in front of the hotel. Perfect! I keep returning here for visits to Belitung. 

However, I will reconsider heavily on my next trips to stay at this property as I do not feel safe here. People of Belitung is very nice and trustworthy, but it doesn't mean you forgo your security obligations. As we were sunbathing by the beach today, a stranger (not a hotel guest or hotel staff) came nearby our sunbathing area and tried to strike a conversation. A bit annoying, but didn't really bother me much. What was very alarming was the fact that after I walked away, not only he stayed and lingered around but I clearly noticed that he was TOUCHING HIMSELF from inside of his pants pocket. This guy was touching himself in public while watching me sunbathing!! 

I went to the reception to check if he really was not a hotel staff and informed the incident. She confirmed that he wasn't working there and was going to get someone to take care of the guy. Nobody ever came out and the guy was still around the beach for another 40 mins until he hopped on to his motorcycle. Luckily I wasn't alone. It really made me alarmed how unsafe being at this property, both during the day and at night. 

I absolutely do not recommend female travelers to stay here alone. The management isn't as protective as they should be.
Paddling while low tide and got to see the corals all the way to the edge, which was about 500m away from the beach and into the sea. What a magnificent planet we live in! 💙
Paddleboarded into the sunset in front of Lor In hotel in Belitung island. The whole island is perfect for paddle boarding and kayaking. Definitely not ideal for surfing since the beaches are so tranquil and calm. There are no paddle boarding rentals, yet since tourism here is still pretty scarce. It was worth bringing your own Paddleboard, though.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (31 reviews)
Beautiful resort, we really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately they appear to be either understaffed or not properly trained as some things take an exceptionally long time. If you can bear with the slow service, then there is nothing else to complain about.
