Malole surf house

Malole Surf House sits directly in front of Rote Island's legendary surf breaks, offering traditional Indonesian architecture with modern comforts. Founded by Felipe Pomar, a 1965 World Champion surfer from Peru who discovered Rote's world-class waves, the property combines over 35 years of local surf knowledge with genuine hospitality. The surf house operates with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Solar power, reverse osmosis water processing, and indigenous building materials demonstrate their dedication to minimal environmental impact. Traditional Rotenese construction features stonework, bamboo accents, and natural palm fencing that provides privacy without obstructing the ocean views. Daily boat transfers take guests to T-Land, one of the world's most iconic waves, with access to other breaks like Bo'a available by arrangement. The property's experienced surf guides know exactly when and where to paddle out based on decades of studying local conditions. Chef Maria Pinero, trained in Spain and Argentina, serves three gourmet meals daily featuring market-fresh local ingredients, sashimi-quality fish, and South American/Mediterranean fusion dishes that keep guests returning year after year.
