Our favourite rooms
After spending time soaking up Lombok's warmth and colour, stepping inside the hotel's calm white suites is as refreshing as a long, slow drink of ice-cold milk. We particularly love the Poolside Lodge Suites for their Instagram-worthy ocean views and direct access to the pool deck and glittering infinity pool. These suites also have a cosy sitting area with plump armchairs, should you wish to curl up with a book or enjoy room-service breakfast in air-conditioned comfort. However, you can expect to spend most of your time outside on the little wooden terrace, which has an L-shaped sofa and a little table with chairs.
Poolside
There’s a glittering pool in the gardens, with views of the bay beyond. At night, staff set tables around the pool for dangerously romantic dinners.
Spa
Pay a visit to the hotel's Frangipani Spa between 9am and 8pm for an array of tailored treatments, Shiseido facials, Balinese massages and body wraps.
Packing tips
Marine-print bathers, to impress the local sea turtles.
Also
If you can tear yourself away from the Lodge’s luxury, the hotel has a herd of mountain bikes for guests to borrow.
Children
Babysitting by hotel staff can be arranged (US$8 an hour, plus tax). There's a kids’ menu, and the chef will happily adapt dishes for junior palates. Extra beds for under-12s (US$85 a person) and over-12s (US$125 a person) can be added to rooms.
Sustainability efforts
All food served in the restaurant is produced from on-site homegrown ingredients and local produce; the Lombok Lodge also prioritises giving back to the local community and implementing sustainable practices throughout.
