What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Palm trees and mirror pools set the scene, and the ocean views must be seen to be believed.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On Medana Beach across 24 manicured acres, overlooking Medana Bay and the Gili Islands.
The rooms
Teak-furnished bedrooms open to garden courtyards with sunken marble tubs. Select walled villas add private swimming pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater infinity pool stretches toward Medana Beach, bordered by tall palms and thatched poolside bales.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights sit in an air-conditioned pavilion beneath a traditional thatched timber ceiling.
Lumbung Restaurant
The open-sided pavilion takes its design from Sasak rice barns, serving regional Indonesian dinners beside wide reflection pools.
At the table
Tokek Bar pours craft cocktails under open thatch, and weekly Sasak dance performances take over the amphitheatre.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
