Not far from the island of Bali, Lombok has a natural beauty that is equally extraordinary but not too crowded so it is suitable for escaping from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can also find exotic beaches, a beautiful underwater world, charming caves, and various other natural attractions.

In addition to exciting places that can be visited, another factor that is no less important while on vacation is accommodation. After a long day of sightseeing, it would be great if you could rest comfortably in a special place.

To make it easier for you while on vacation, we have selected unique accommodation recommendations in Lombok that will make your stay more memorable.

1. Mentigi Bay Dome Villas

This charming resort is perched on a hill overlooking the blue sea. As soon as you step inside, you are immediately taken to a fantasy land that contains unique architectural buildings that, at first glance, will remind you of the houses of the Hobbits in the Lord of the Rings movie. Although from the outside these dome-shaped villas look strange, inside, you will find comfort and luxury. You can enjoy the natural panorama right from the bed! You can even stay in connecting dome villas equipped with a private swimming pool overlooking the sea. Very unique and comfortable, right?

2. Gili Tibo Stilt House

If you want to stay in a rural setting away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, then Gili Tibo Stilt House is the place to be. Located in a very quiet area, this inn surrounded by a bamboo fence is perfect for those of you who want to be alone while blending in with the surrounding natural atmosphere. Here you can feel the sensation of staying in a simple barn. In addition to the main building, which is very natural and made of bamboo and reeds, you can also find a hammock or cradle to relax in the afternoon in the middle of the green yard. Sometimes, something as simple as this will provide an unforgettable holiday experience.

3. Al Isra Pirate Boat

Want to try something completely different? How about this vacation you spend on a ship that sails the vast ocean! Al Isra is a ship inspired by the famous Bugis traditional ship, the Pinisi. Made of sturdy teak wood, this traditional boat consists of 4 cabins with five beds of various sizes (12 people total capacity). Very fitting for an adventure in the ocean with family or closest friends. Or if you want to have an unforgettable birthday party.

Calm, even though it is in the middle of the sea, you can still do various activities. Starting from stopping to beautiful islands, relaxing on the deck while accompanied by a cold drink, swimming in the open sea, snorkeling, to diving (additional fees).

No need to worry, even though it is not as luxurious as a cruise ship, this ship uses quite modern security equipment, such as GPS, navigation programs, etc. It is coupled with the presence of crew members from South Sulawesi!

4. La Cocoteraie Ecolodge

Glamping (Glamorous Camping) at La Cocoteraie offers something different because towering coconut trees will surround you. Located in the middle of coconut plantations, these luxury tents are equipped with air conditioning and other modern facilities that will ensure your comfort during your vacation. The distance is not far from the beach (about 400 meters), so you can fill your time with various activities, such as snorkeling or cycling.
