The new Place
After 30 years experience in successfully running Mick's Place in Bali and already living in Rote several month's a year for more than 10 years we decided to open a new Place in Rote Island.
Opening June 1st 2026
The Idea behind the new Resort in Rote
First of all, we wanted to offer our guests something new, going a different route than the existing resorts on Rote Island so far.
After operating our resort in Bali for many years, our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the elegant simplicity and communal style of Mick’s Place. With this in mind we wanted to replicate that ambience in our new resort on Rote in a different way.
Rote island, still being a relatively undiscovered paradise with its unspoiled nature, calls for a more sensitive approach to setting up and operating a resort minimizing the impact on the island.
Hence the idea of a Boutique Eco Resort was born.
The Resort
Spreading out over 3 hectares of beachfront land the resort ensures plenty of space and privacy for our guests and allows us to leave the existing landscape as natural as possible.
You will find the island-style bungalows nestled between local palm and pandana trees.
The bungalows are positioned a good distance from each other (25-30m) to ensure adequate privacy.
With a soft opening of 3 - 4 bungalows in 2026 ( 6-8 guests) you are assured of a relaxing and exclusive holiday.
The Bungalows
Set across three hectares of beachfront land, Mick’s Place offers space and privacy. The generous layout allows the natural landscape to remain largely untouched, creating an environment that feels open, quiet and unspoilt.
We will have 3 - 4 solar-powered, 1 bedroom Island-style bungalows available to book from June 1st. Thoughtfully designed with palm-thatched roofs, polished terrazzo floors and panoramic views.
A natural sea breeze flows through the property for most of the year, and a ceiling fan is more than sufficient to keep you comfortable during both day and night.
Each bungalow features an umbrella shaded outdoor dining area in an enclosed courtyard, as well as a lounge area located just outside the living space but still under the palm-thatched roof — an inviting place to enjoy anytime of the day.
The spacious indoor–outdoor bathroom is separate from the bungalow and built using local natural stone combined with modern detailing and amenities. A solar hot water system is used, and all water is filtered through a reverse osmosis system to ensure high-quality water throughout your stay.
An outdoor kitchen has been added to each bungalow, allowing you to prepare your morning coffee, breakfast or a light midday meal. With an excellent bakery in town and several restaurants only a short ride away, you can choose between dining out or enjoying the simplicity of staying in.
