What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Softer Volumes.
Imagined by a team of Indonesian architects, each property sits stilted up off the ground, hovering above a living area placed directly on the sand...
“Designed by celebrated Indonesian architects Gregorius Yolodi and Andra Matin, who took cues from Lombok's stilted lumbung barns, they all feature two terrazzo-floor bedrooms surrounded by glass walls and vertical slats made from local timber.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Reached by dirt roads through eastern Lombok farmland, the secluded cove is sheltered by towering cliffs and quiet surf breaks.
The rooms
Open-air ground floors feature raw sand underfoot, while upstairs bedrooms offer terrazzo floors and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 35-meter black-tiled infinity pool stretches along the beachfront, flanked by ironwood decks facing Ekas Bay.
Anakampung Restaurant
Open-air dining centers on a long communal table, serving daily seafood and Ekas lobster grilled over coconut husks.
How it began
Indonesian architects Andra Matin and Gregorius Yolodi reimagined traditional Sasak lumbung rice barns as modernist timber lanterns set upon the sand.
