Kusu Island Resort
Villa Markisa is a lovely and exclusive dive resort catering to up to lucky 16 guests. Located on Bali’s remote northeast coast in Muntig Bay with Agung volcano in the background, Villa Markisa is close to the area’s best dive sites, including the famous Liberty shipwreck. For scuba divers who prefer crazy little critters, discover the House Reef of “Seraya Secrets”, directly in front of the beach. At Villa Markisa, you may explore Bali’s best diving while staying in the lap of luxury.
The resort consists of three private and unique bungalows set in beautiful grounds with stunning ocean views. There’s also Villa Sonea with two large bedrooms and a large luxury lounge. Each bungalow is equipped with a private outdoor bathroom, mini-bar, safety deposit box, air-conditioning, mosquito netting, coffee maker, spacious cabinets, and a sofa which can be turned into an extra bed. At the head of each bed is a workstation for photographers and professionals to work in an ideal setting. Each terrace has a large daybed for lounging and a table with two chairs.
Guests stay on a full-board basis with the oceanfront restaurant serving a wide range of Indonesian and international dishes. After a day discovering the colorful underwater world, you can relax on comfortable sunbeds at the pool with jacuzzi. A special treat for tense muscles is a traditional Balinese massage and other holistic treatments at the spa.
Villa Markisa’s dive center comfortably accommodates 16 divers and is equipped with rinse tanks, camera rinse tanks, drying area, shower and restroom. Diving is done either from shore or from a very comfortable speed boat equipped with a sun cover and a ladder. Special rinse tanks are provided for diving cameras and dive equipment.
