Holiday in Style at one of our Lombok Boutique Hotels

Lombok, often referred to as Bali's quieter neighbor, is blessed with stunning landscapes and an immersive cultural experience to be enjoyed from our luxurious Lombok boutique hotels. Here are some must-do activities on offer from your best beach resort in Lombok: Stay on Sire Beach, one of Lombok’s most beautiful beaches, this crescent shaped sandy beach has the enigmatic Rinjani volcano as its backdrop and colourful coral gardens below its gentle waters. Challenge yourself with a trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani, an active volcano and the second highest peak in Indonesia. The breathtaking views from the top and the hot springs along the way make for an unforgettable experience. Although all our beach hotels Lombok are just a stone’s throw away from stunning stretches of sea and sand, a visit to Kuta Beach, famous for its pristine white sands and its reef break, is a must. Enjoy sunbathing, swimming, or rent a motorbike to explore the beautiful southern coastline. Explore the beautiful beaches around Kuta Lombok, such as Tanjung Aan and Selong Belanak.

Ask your Secret Retreats Concierge or the friendly team at your Lombok beach resort about taking a short boat ride to Gili Trawangan, the largest of the three Gili Islands. Enjoy snorkeling, scuba-diving Indonesia’s renowned underwater worlds, or simply relax in the hammocks on the picturesque beaches. Explore the vibrant nightlife and savor fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants.
