About Shafira Resort

A quiet stretch of Ambon's north coast to slow your days

Shafira Resort sits on Memit Beach in Morella, a coastal village in Leihitu District known for its glass-clear water and unhurried pace. Days here follow the sea: mornings for swimming or paddling the boat, midday for grilling fish in a gazebo, late afternoons for watching the sun sink into the water.

We built this resort for families and groups who want to truly be together — no crowded tourist beach, no schedule, just the Morella sea and unhurried time.

Colorful coral reef with schools of fish in the clear waters of Morella

± 10 minutes by car

Calm clear-water beach backed by dense green forest

± 15 minutes by car

± 30-minute uphill walk

Kapahaha Fortress

A hilltop site of Morella's resistance against colonial forces. From the top, the Seram Sea stretches wide — worth every step of the climb.

Nearly a kilometer of fine white sand, once named by the UNDP among the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia.

The resort's home beach and its best sunset stage. Come late afternoon, the sky over the sea turns orange — take a gazebo seat and watch.

Guest Stories

What guests take home from Memit

The kids played with the boat until they lost track of time while we grilled fish in front of the villa. In the evening everyone gathered in a gazebo to watch the sunset. It felt like having a beach of our own.

The Pattiasina familyAmbon

We picked the glamping tent and have no regrets — falling asleep to the waves, waking up to the sea. In the morning we snorkeled at Lubang Buaya, just minutes from the resort.

Dita & FarhanJakarta

The Starlink is genuinely fast. I worked remotely for two days from a gazebo overlooking the sea, then gave the whole weekend to my family. A hard combination to find.

Yosua LatuheruMakassar

Clean grounds, warm hosts, and a calm beach — none of the tourist-beach crowds. The big villa fit our group of eight with room to spare.
