Hotel Tugu Lombok sits on white-sand Sire Beach on the northwest coast of Lombok, framed by sunrise over Mount Rinjani and a 15-minute boat ride from the Gili Islands, a private-beach hotel steeped in Lombok culture and the Mahabharata epic. Accommodation runs from beachfront presidential pool suites such as Sanghyang Nirvana to family and oceanview pool suites, garden villas and traditional village-style bungalows, all steps from the sea, several with private plunge pools. Dining spans multiple venues, including the Bale Kokok Pletok restaurant, with cultural dining experiences throughout. Wellness centres on the award-winning Hening Swarga Spa, with yoga, spiritual blessings and the ancient Jamu tradition. A living museum of Indonesian antiques and artworks with architecture in harmony with nature, it offers a kilometre of private beach, excursions and cultural courses and snorkelling trips to the Gili Islands. Part of Tugu Hotels and a member of Secret Retreats, holding a Michelin Key, it suits culture and design lovers and romantics who want an intimate, artful private-beach retreat.
