Beloi Beach Hotel, on Atauro Island, runs its own motor launches across the strait between Dili and Beloi. The boats run on demand, for hotel guests and other travellers, and are a faster, more flexible alternative to the APORTIL ferry.
How it works

|---|---|
| Departs Dili | From inside the Marine Police compound (UPM) on the Dili foreshore, next to Largo de Lecidere |
| Arrives | Beloi, near the hotel |

Fares and times can change and crossings depend on the weather, so confirm both when you book. For the ferry, MAF flights and what to expect on arrival, see the Dili to Atauro guide. To stay at the hotel, see Beloi Beach Hotel Dive Resort.
