In addition, only need about an hour to reach one of the interesting spots with views of the coral islands, namely Pianemo.

BREATH-TAKING VIEW ALL AROUND

Satu hal yang pasti sangat membuat kita tercengang saat tiba di Arborek di siang hari adalah warna laut yang begitu menggoda. Biru, turquoise dan kehijauan berpadu indah, serta warna pasir putih dan kehijauan di daratan, such a lovely view to enjoy!

One thing is for sure very make us stunned when arriving at Arborek in the afternoon is the color of the sea is so tempting. Blue, turquoise and beautiful greenery blends, as well as the color of the white sand and greenery on the mainland, such a lovely view to enjoy!

 

IT’S EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU PLUNGE IN

Amazing view under the Arborek jetty!

EAT – SLEEP – ENJOY

Life is simple on the island. Tidur di penginapan sederhana di sisi laut, menikmati duduk-duduk santai sambil merasakan angin laut, atau tidur siang di hammock yang berada di antara pohon kelapa? It’s surely days you want to repeat in Arborek homestay

EVERYTHING IS WALK DISTANCE

Walk and boat

There are only about 200 local people living in Arborek Village, so don’t expect party and bars on this island, but hey, who needs bar on this kind of place? :) Di manapun anda menginap di Desa Arborek, hanya perlu berjalan kaki untuk menuju pantai, dermaga, atau warung-warung di kala ingin mencari snacks and drinks

Terjebak Biru Di Arborek, Raja Ampat.

You know I love sea with different colors. Perbedaan warna biru, biru muda dan turquoise selalu membuat saya tersihir, simply happy and relax. Mungkin warna biru secara psikologis memang menenangkan, namun warna dan pemandangan yang berpadu sempurna adalah obat bagi apapun masalah yang sedang anda pikirkan.

You know I love sea with different colors. Different kinds of blue, light blue and turquoise always mesmerize me, giving happiness and relax feeling. Maybe blue is psychologically soothing, but the color and the scenery is a cure for any problem you are might be thinking.
 

The clear water around Arborek

The dock

Kampung Wisata Arborek terletak di Meos Mansar, Raja Ampat, Papua Barat. Tidak perlu bertanya mengapa wilayah ini menjadi kampung wisata, sejak menjejakkan kaki di dermaga Pulau Arborek saya sudah dibuat terpesona dengan laut yang berwarna warni.

Arborek Tourism Village is located in Meos Mansar, Raja Ampat, West Papua. No need to ask why this island turned into tourist village, set your foot at the Arborek dock and you'll stunned by its sea colors.

Lihatlah warna biru yang berpadu dengan turquoise, hijaunya pohon kelapa yang menghiasi pesisir pulau, serta langit yang membiru. Sebagian area di sekeliling Arborek sangat dangkal dengan pasir putih di dasarnya dan sejumlah koral menambah pesona warna laut disini.

Look at the blue mixed with turquoise, the green palm trees adorn the coast of the island and the blue sky. Some of the area around Arborek dock is very shallow with white sand at its base and a number of sea corals adds the charm here. 

Look at the stunning view!

Near Manta Sandy you can find this heaven!

Arborek pun sangat dekat dengan lokasi penyelaman yang jadi salah satu favorit di Raja Ampat yaitu Manta Sandy. Ingat pengalaman saya bertemu manta? Di Manta Sandy ada delapan pari manta yang berkeliling, bahkan begitu dekat dengan para divers. Namun sebelum bercerita tentang keindahan dan serunya bawah laut, mari kita nikmati the super beautiful Arborek sea!

Arborek is also close with one of the most favorite sites in Raja Ampat which is Manta Sandy. If you remember my story about dancing with the manta rays, well here I encounter eight manta rays, so big and so close to the divers. But before telling you about the beauty and thrill of the sea bottom, let's enjoy the super beautiful Arborek sea!

perfection!
