What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Lombok Lodge is Belgian-owned and has the kind of staff culture that most hotels only claim to have.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The shores of Medana Bay look across to Mount Rinjani, with the Gili Islands a fifteen-minute boat ride north.
The rooms
Suites are finished in crisp white, and poolside categories step straight out onto the deck facing Medana Bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-meter freshwater infinity pool looks out across Medana Bay toward the silhouette of Mount Rinjani.
The spa
Open-air pavilions host hot stone rituals and frangipani flower baths, finished with Acqua di Parma amenities.
Yoga on the deck
A dedicated wooden pavilion sits at the water's edge for private morning yoga and meditation over the bay.
At the table
Chef Wayan Jiwa Raga serves dinners along the beach and wooden jetty. Beside the sand, the open-air bar pours cocktails over the water.
How it began
Belgian restaurateurs Ben Olaerts and Anja Braeken sold their business back home to build this bay-side hotel in 2010.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
