Poya Lisa occupies its own tiny rocky islet just off Bomba village at the south-western entrance to the archipelago — the first stop the Ampana speedboats reach, about 50 minutes from the mainland. Its 13 wooden bungalows are split between beachfront spots and a rocky hill above the water, in three classes (Standard, Superior, Deluxe) from Rp 400,000 per person per night including three meals a day; there's a two-night minimum and bookings are confirmed direct by WhatsApp or email with a deposit. Expect island-basic comfort: no air conditioning, generator power in the evenings, and wifi limited to the common areas. The setting is the draw — snorkeling straight off the islet, boat trips to nearby reefs, Jellyfish Lake and Bajau village excursions, and bird watching in the forest behind Bomba. There is no dive center on-site, but Araya Dive Resort (formerly Bomba Divers) is a couple of minutes away by boat and takes Poya Lisa guests diving on the Bomba atoll. Tripadvisor guests rate it 4.0/5 across 100+ reviews, praising the food, staff and snorkeling while noting the rooms are simple.

Take the daily speedboat from Ampana toward Wakai and ask to be dropped at Poya Lisa/Bomba — about 50 minutes, roughly Rp 160,000. The cottages arrange the short hop to their islet; confirm your pickup by WhatsApp (+62 821 3682 2853) before boarding.

Current published rates are Rp 400,000–600,000 per person per night depending on bungalow class (Standard, Superior or Deluxe), always including three meals a day. There is a two-night minimum, and bookings are confirmed with a 50% deposit by bank transfer.
Is there diving at Poya Lisa?
