What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
It’s still very much a surfer’s paradise, just far enough under the radar to preserve a breezy, eco-conscious ethos and a natural aesthetic…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on a ridge above the Are Guling surf break, the property sits ten minutes west of beachside Kuta.
The rooms
Standalone villas feature polished concrete, custom blond woodwork, and Jogja-stone rain showers looking out toward Mount Rinjani through full-height glass.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The communal infinity pool looks out over Are Guling Bay, lined with shaded loungers that face the ocean sunset.
The spa
Slatted timber corridors lead to hillside treatment rooms offering traditional Indonesian massages, reflexology, and botanical body scrubs.
SOMEWHERE Restaurant & Bar
The open-air pavilion serves regional Indonesian dishes and fresh seafood under woven pendant lights beside a stone-topped bar.
How it began
Sisters Claire and Valia Gontard opened the retreat in 2023, drawing on their family roots across southern Lombok.
