1. Innit Lombok

Innit Lombok sits on a 250-metre stretch of pristine beach on the private island of Ekas Bay.

Surf, sun and serenity make up the soul of Somewhere Lombok.

The hotel's 20 standalone villas—each with a private pool—are spread out over four rows, carved into a steep landscape that overlooks one of the island's best surfing beaches. 

Somewhere Lombok makes a point of celebrating its community, from the architecture handcrafted from locally sourced materials, to the decor which is sourced from a network of local craftspeople, artists, small suppliers, and businesses. Think handwoven rugs, textiles made from recycled fabrics, and handmade pottery lamps.

4. The Lombok Lodge

The Lombok Lodge's crisp white aesthetic makes for the perfect canvas to show off Lombok's vibrant natural beauty—lush green swaying palms, sparkling blue waters and the many majestic hues of sunrises and sunsets on the island. 

There are just nine suites at this intimate hideaway including Poolside Lodge Suites, which arguably have the best views. 

The hotel's Frangipani Spa has an impressive menu tailored treatments, including Shiseido facials, Balinese massages and body wraps.
