10 Best Hotels
Lombok’s southern bays draw surfers to Selong Belanak and Kuta, where restaurants sit within reach of grassy coastal headlands. In the northwest, Medana and Sira offer quieter resort beaches facing the offshore islands. Inland, Tetebatu’s rice fields, Sukarara’s weaving and Senaru’s waterfalls reveal landscapes and traditions beyond the coast. North and south are distinct bases with substantial road journeys between them; a split stay makes sense if both feature heavily in your plans.

Innit Lombok
Ekas Bay, East Lombok, Indonesia
Innit’s seven beach houses make a distinctive base on the shores of Ekas Bay.

Anakampung provides dining on site, while water outings, cooking and yoga offer reasons to vary the daily rhythm. Choose Innit when design and a quieter beach setting matter most, allowing time to enjoy the property rather than treating it as a sightseeing stop.
Architecture and a secluded stretch of sand
Tampah Hills
Mekar Sari, South Lombok, Indonesia

Villas vary substantially in size and design, but private pools and views are central to the appeal. Chef-prepared breakfast and butler service help a group settle into its own routine, while tennis, padel and beach volleyball add active options. It suits families and friends who want shared living space and privacy, with the chosen villa shaping the whole holiday.

It works particularly well for a longer villa holiday, with careful attention to the layout and location of the individual home.
Large villa choice and hillside views
Somewhere Lombok
Are Guling, South Lombok, Indonesia
Somewhere combines private plunge-pool villas with a hillside setting near Are Guling. Handwoven textiles, ceramics and local craftsmanship give the interiors character, while balconies and living areas encourage a slower pace after exploring the coast. The setting comes with significant stairs and an uneven access road, making it better suited to mobile adults than travellers seeking step-free ease. Choose it for an intimate retreat, with the scheduled Kuta shuttle offering a useful connection to town.
A small hillside design retreat
Sempiak Seaside Resort
Selong Belanak, South Lombok, Indonesia
Sempiak offers two distinct ways to stay at Selong Belanak: wooden villas on the hill and holiday houses nearer the sand. Individual designs and landscaped surroundings give the accommodation a personal character, with the beach remaining the natural focus of the stay. Laut Biru provides a convenient dining option. Choose a hillside villa for the outlook or a holiday house for easier beach access, checking the particular layout against the needs of your party.
Hilltop villas close to the beach
Jeeva Beloam Beach Camp
Tanjung Ringgit, East Lombok, Indonesia
Jeeva Beloam pairs a secluded coastal setting with eleven lodges inspired by Sasak fishing shelters. Timber, bamboo and thatch give the accommodation a tactile character, while covered terraces and open-air bathrooms keep the surroundings close. This is a deliberate retreat from constant connection: there is no Wi-Fi or television, and air conditioning operates intermittently. Meals form part of the stay. Choose it for quiet days by the cove, with expectations set around remoteness rather than conventional resort convenience.
