Compass Diving Resort in Atauro Island is a relaxing place right by the beach. Here you will fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to an peaceful sunrise. You can kick back and disconnect from the rest of the world, but every guest can still enjoy a hot shower and a flushing toilet in the end of the day. Right off the beach we have our stunning coral reef which is one of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs. It's full of sea life and you can experience world class snorkeling and diving. Compass Diving is a PADI dive center and onsite we offer courses and try-diving for beginners and guided snorkeling and scuba diving. Stay in one of our luxury villas or opt for the more simple glamping tents. All comes included with a yummy breakfast buffé including freshly baked bread rolls every morning from the local Timorese bakery down the road. How to get here? You can either take one of the ferries that operates on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays or contact us if you like to go with our speedboat and we will transfer you directly to our resort.

Beloi is nearby the village known as Vila, where one can visit handcraft projects like Boneca de Ataúro and Bio Joias, establish to, within different situations, contribute to promote alternative sources of income for local communities.
