The island of Lombok has long lived under the tourist shadow of Bali’s shining status as the holiday vacation destination in Indonesia but as the growth of Bali’s tourist industry has expanded, along with congestion of all kinds, Lombok is fast approaching as a better alternative for those picture perfect sunsets. Hotel Tugu Lombok has jumped on this trend and over the past year has completed their tropical haven for those who need to get away from Bali or for those who just want that extra bit of privacy and solace.
Hotel Tugu Lombok is situated along the northwest coast of the island on Sire Beach, the miles and miles of pristine beaches conjure up long forgotten images of virgin landscapes and history untouched. Facing an open ocean and Indonesia’s second highest mountain, Mt. Rinjani, the unparalleled views are complimented with service and class unmatched provided by Hotel Tugu. Golf enthusiasts will also enjoy the world-class experience of the 18-hole course that borders the mainland side of Tugu Lombok, which of course only adds to the seclusion of the surroundings. Oceanside offers even more opportunities for fun and relaxation as the bay provides the perfect conditions for swimming and snorkelling while many alluring offshore islands, such as the Gilis, are less than 30 minutes away and offer another world all to its own.
In theme with Tugu’s signature mission, style, and atmosphere, history and luxury combine for an unforgettable experience as soon as one waltzes through their doors. Hotel Tugu Lombok features hundreds of original artworks and collectible antiques making it a living, breathing museum of the original cultures of Lombok. The lobby itself is a 100-years old building that was once a reception house during the Dutch colonial times while the various dining and function areas offer an array of options for romantic moments or family sized dinners.
The Lara Djonggrang Bar is a traditional hut with 100-year old wooden benches and tables, long teak bar, and “chicly primitive” atmosphere; the perfect place for drinks and conversation anytime during day or night. The Bale Kokok Pletok Open Dining Hall is a pastoral open-air room with a 15-meter tall thatched ceiling that overlooks the ocean, lotus ponds, and tropical backdrop and serves the best in international, oriental, and Indonesian cuisine. For those looking for something even more secluded, Hotel Tugu Lombok also provides an open-air beach bar, private romantic dinners by the beach, and dining by the Tugu Lake whilst soaking up the aura under the stars.
Guest accommodations are extremely well spaced as 18 various units are spread throughout Hotel Tugu Lombok’s six hectares of vast land. The exquisite Bhagavat Gita suites are housed in a beautiful colonial era building and each possess a sea view, oversized plunge pool, and outdoor garden and living area with outdoor bath areas as well. The Aloon villas are individual buildings that surround tropical gardens and offer outdoor dining and lazing areas and spacious oversized copper sunken tubs. Last but not least, the Kampong Lombok bungalows are extremely intimate units with traditional wood and bamboo features providing an authentic village feeling with modern luxury and outdoor rain showers. All rooms feature air conditioning, flat screen TV, mini bar, DVD player and library, international channels and in-room safe.
Also exclusive to Hotel Tugu Lombok is the Puri Dadap Merah, the ultimate in honeymoon spa villas, and the Hening Swarga Spa, which offers both spiritual and physical relaxation for the mind, body, and soul. All of this is only a 2.5-hour speedboat or 30 minute flight across the Lombok Strait to the unpolished jewel that is the island of Lombok. Come experience the myriad of adventures and tranquillity that Hotel Tugu Lombok has to offer, there is something here for everyone.
