Koka Beach probably was one of our trip's highlights and definitively one of our most memorable stays. We actually planned on going there which is why we called the owner Mr. Blasius in advance. When we arrived at Maumere airport he and a friend of his were awaiting us at the airport and gave us a very comfortable ride to Koka Beach. When we arrived we were asked to take a seat at one of the tables in the "common and dining area". Mr. Blasius served us an incredibly delicious and huge lunch (an entire tuna he caught the day before).
Afterwards he showed us our room for the upcoming nights. You have to be aware of the fact that the accomodation at Koka Beach is pretty basic and down to earth (we basically slept on a matress in a wooden shack). Nonetheless, this really is all you need! The entire location is of stunning beauty and literally blows you away. We have not seen a single beach in Indonesia which was that quiet, peaceful and beautiful at the same time. You could sunbath and lay at the beach all day - and as there is nothing else to do at Koka Beach, this literally is all you can do anyways - and just relax. After taking a few swims in the ocean you take a quick shower under the improvised water-hose-outdoor-shower and change before you, once again, get served one hell of a dinner. This time, Blasius brought us a red snapper and loads of side dishes. In fact it was so much we couldn't even finish. Hands down, this definitely was one of the best meals we had in our travels!
After dinner, Blasius offered us a glass of Arak his father had made himself. Although this was my first and last glass of Arak I ever drank it was a lovely atmosphere created by an outstandingly hospitable and kind man who loves to share the very basic accomodation he and his family have with travelers and strangers from all over the worldit was a truly amazing stay at Koka Beach and we were sad when we had to leave 2 days later already
So in a nutshell, if you are alright with basic accomodation and do not really need to stay in the Ritz Carlton, definitely spend a night at Mr. Blasius placeyou will not forget it!
That being said, THANK YOU Blasius for making our stay so lovely!response / report this review -

Virgin beach. For me its better than kuta: white-clean sands, crystal-blue water. So private, One day I went there at 5pm and this beach like my own, I swam alone. But the goverment have to set the entry tariff. MAny locals take a fee if we pass their own land. So we have to pay a lot of fees. Dont sit at gazebo under the tree if you dont want to pay. and be carefull with the waves and coral reefs

Absolut beautiful, lonely beach! But never felt less welcomed and more like a waking wallet than in here. Take the road 5k, go to the beach another 5k, toilet 5k, taking a picture (!!)5k It's a shame they ruin all the atmosphere by just thinking about money all the time

Fairly quiet beach. Stopped here for lunch break en route to Maumere from Kelimutu. Wished I could spend more time her as I wanted to hike up that small hill to get that scenic view of two beaches side by side.

A must visit if you are between Sikka-Maumere. Koka Beach has a two beachline with white sand and cristal clear water and divided by a huge mountain of rock that you can climb on.
Right now that place is only crowded by tourist from neighbouring city with a number of stall that offers delicacies like fried banana, cocoa drink, or sea food.
Sadly you will not find sunsets/sunrise here since it face the other way.
From the main road, it only takes less than 1 kilometre to reach this beach, unfortunately the road there isn't in good condition with a lot of gravel and small rocks. but your car or motorcycle should be able to pass if you're careful.
With only 5.000 IDR you can pass the road that leads to the top of the stone mountain that divide the beaches. BUT EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION since we climb with less than adequate safety measures (the steps are made from bamboo).
And when you reach the top there's no fence or rail to prevent tourist from slipping and fall from height. You really need to be careful of where you stand when taking pictures or selfies.
But all risks aside, the view from the top is simply MAGICAL.
Definitely don't miss this place if you're in Maumere.response / report this review -
