EXPLORING SOUTHEAST LOMBOK: A TRIO OF HIDDEN GEMS
Innit hotel, Lombok
Embark on a journey to the tranquil shores of southeast Lombok, where the pristine Awang Bay awaits to enchant you with its serene beauty. A mere 20-minute sail across these azure waters transports you to a secluded paradise - welcome to Innit, your private island retreat.
As you step onto the soft, honey-hued sands of Innit, the world around you fades away, leaving only the whisper of the gentle sea breeze and the distant call of seabirds. Mammoth boulders and steep cliffs embrace the shoreline, while a series of untouched coves beckon exploration. Nestled amidst this idyllic landscape are seven beach houses, the handiwork of celebrated Indonesian architects Gregorius Yolodi and Andra Matin. Drawing inspiration from Lombok's traditional stilted lumbung barns, these houses boast two terrazzo-floor bedrooms, ensconced within glass walls and adorned with vertical slats crafted from local timber.
Indulge your senses at the breezy restaurant, where Indonesian classics like deconstructed gado gado and cabbage roll-ups are elevated with a touch of fine-dining flair. For the adventurous at heart, Innit offers a plethora of activities, from paddleboard tours to surf lessons and spear-fishing expeditions. As night falls, gather around a crackling bonfire on the beach, where freshly grilled seafood awaits, a testament to the day's adventures.
Somewhere Hotel, Lombok
Venturing beyond the shores of Lombok's Awang Bay, discover the allure of Somewhere, an all-villa hideaway perched on the island's beach-hemmed south. Surrounded by coconut groves and overlooking the rolling waves, Somewhere offers a haven of tranquility. Designed by French Chinese sisters Claire and Valia Gontard, the airy villas feature polished concrete and blond woods, opening onto private balconies with saltwater plunge pools and panoramic vistas of the countryside.
As the sun sets, immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of flavors at the hotel's restaurant, where lemongrass mojitos and lychee martinis mingle with tantalizing dishes like beef tataki and turmeric-rubbed chicken skewers. Here, amid the harmonious blend of cultures and cuisines, every moment is a celebration of life's simple pleasures.
And finally, set your sights on Pererenan, the still-sleepy enclave just a beach away from Bali's bustling Canggu. Here, amidst the quiet charm of Pererenan, lies Further Hotel, a beacon of contemporary elegance. With its unique diffused hotel concept, Further Hotel offers 11 suites spread across two terra-cotta-tinted buildings, each a sanctuary of style and sophistication. Eschewing conventional tropes, Further Hotel invites you to revel in the tactile beauty of burnt sienna plaster and the timeless allure of stone, leather, and blackened timber furnishings.
