Run by Claudia and Kermi, Balinese-influenced Ankermi has eight cute, tiled and thatched bungalows with private porches and stunning sea views (fan only) or garden views (with air-con). The dive shop is the best in the Maumere area (shore/night/boat dives from €25/35/35). Locally grown, organic rice and vegetables feature in the restaurant (mains 42,000Rp to 95,000Rp).
Sunsets at Ankermi are pretty special, seen from the open-sided bar/restaurant, through spreading ferns and gurgling water features, or with a cocktail in hand in the small, spring water pool.
