North Lombok: Where Legacy Meets the Sea
At the northern edge of Lombok, where palm-fringed beaches stretch into still horizons and the tempo slows to the lull of the tides, luxury hotel The Sira, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Lombok brings a sense of heritage-rich elegance to one of the island’s most untouched corners.
With just 60 keys – 46 suites and 14 pool villas – the resort feels intimate yet expansive. The culinary journeys here are just as immersive. At The Island’s Table, enjoy all-day dining with a relaxed elegance, while Sija, the poolside eatery, plates up vibrant Asian flavours just steps from the sea. For a Mediterranean interlude, Medsa offers Italian and Greek-inspired dishes rooted in local produce, and Glassary, a stylish, library-esque bar, invites guests in with inventive cocktails, small plates, and a touch of vintage glamour.
West Lombok: Coastal Elegance and Cultural Heartbeats
A launchpad for island-hopping to the Gilis, West Lombok is home to two of Lombok’s luxury hotels along the shores of Senggigi Beach.
Sudamala Resort, Senggigi is a timeless sanctuary where Sasak hospitality meets coastal charm. Its 35 suites and villas are laced with local character, from alang-alang thatched roofs to traditional woodwork and tranquil ocean views.
At the heart of the Sudamala experience is Olah Olah Restaurant, an open-air venue invites guests to linger by the pool or along the scenic deck over dishes that blend Indonesian flavours with global inspiration. For those looking to deepen their connection with local cuisine, the resort’s cooking classes led by in-house chefs offer an interactive journey into Lombok’s culinary heritage. As dusk falls, Sudamala reveals its most enchanting side: intimate beachfront dinners lit by candlelight and set to the soundtrack of the sea.
Just minutes away, Qunci Villas Resort offers its own vision of boutique luxury: effortless, intimate, and impossibly serene. Villas with private pools and ocean-facing terraces make it easy to lose track of time, while three standout restaurants – Quali, Qerang, and NooQ – guide guests through a culinary journey from Indonesia to the Mediterranean. Here, infinity pools spill into the sea, the spa draws on age-old wellness philosophies, and cultural immersions bring Lombok’s living heritage to life.
Central Lombok: Raw Beauty and Refined Seclusion
Venture south, and the Lombok landscape of luxury hotels shifts. Gently rolling hills blanketed in green, untamed coastlines kissed by white-sand beaches, and villages where time slows down, this is a region where nature feels unfiltered.
Perched above an unspoiled bay, Tampah Hills offers a glimpse into the future of sustainable travel. Each architect-designed villa is a sculptural expression of luxury, framed by jungle and ocean, and fitted with natural materials, and floor-to-ceiling views. Guests are welcomed with fresh coconuts, private chefs, and butler service, while a growing hillside community adds layers of wellness: yoga spaces, padel courts, spa treatments, and more.
A short drive away in the heart of Lombok’s Kuta, Kalea Villas offers an equally stylish but more intimate experience. This boutique cluster of six villas is tucked among coconut palms just 500 metres from Mandalika Beach and steps from Kuta’s buzzing cafés. Inside each villa, the interiors are neutral and breezy with open-sky showers, private pools, and fully equipped kitchens echoing the ease of island life. Whether you’re in a one-bedroom hideaway or a two-bedroom villa, the atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and perfectly unpretentious.
