Hotel Tugu to Open in Lombok

The island of Lombok, twenty minutes flight east of Bali or 2.5 hours on a speedboat across the Lombok Starits, is a hidden, unpolished jewel traditionally overshadowed by the fame of its neighboring island. Very few know about its magical serene beaches, long idyllic streches of white sand; long and slender, wind-bent palm trees with whispering leaves....

Hotel Tugu Lombok, opening soon on August, is located at the pristine, miles and miles of virgin white sand beach of Sire, on the northwest coast of the island. Neighboring this tropical haven is a beautiful 18 hole-golf course and virgin landscapes, traditional thatched roofed huts and empty green fields where local life continues in today's age much the same as it has done for centuries. The Hotel Tugu Lombok land comprises of approximately six hectares of mature palm plantations, facing the open ocean and the sunrise of Mount Rinjani, the second highest mountain of Indonesia and popular amongst adventurous hikers for its breathtaking views.

For golf enthusiasts, the island has two masterfully designed golf courses which offers a unique, challenging and world class experience for golfers of all levels. Meanwhile, 20 minutes on our private boats, visit The Gilis, three small coral-fringed islands, each with super clear water, coral reefs and brilliantly colored fish.

Carrying the Tugu signature in its mission, style and atmosphere, Hotel Tugu Lombok stands as a monument for the forgotten history, art and romance of ancient kingdoms, where at the same time provides heavenly tropical luxuries like no other resort do. Hotel Tugu Lombok features hundreds of original, beautiful artworks and antiques painstakingly collected and assembled as a loving testament to the long forgotten, original culture of the isle of Lombok.

The clear blue water in front of Hotel Tugu Lombok is most ideal for swimming and snorkeling during the day. At nights, a picture perfect tropical dream takes over; sparkling waters and shadows of the whispering palm leaves float seductively under the silvery full moon and a million star.

All guest accommodations are within steps from the beach, housed in traditional buildings.

Bhagavat Gita suites are large suites housed in a beautiful building from the colonial era, with high thatched ceilings, tall antique doors and furnishings, private tropical gardens, private lotus pond, two bathing areas with tubs carved out of boulders, private large plunge pools directly overlooking onto the ocean and beautiful beachfront. The name Bhagavat Gita is taken from the wayang tales of Mahabharata, translated as "Song a Heaven".

Aloon-Aloon villas are sumptuous suites each in individual buildings surrounding a plaza of tropical gardens. Each has its own gardens, outdoor dining and lazing areas, spacious oversized copper sunken tubs, opening onto plaza of tropical gardens. Meanwhile the Kampong Lombok bungalows are intimate units with traditional atmosphere characterized with wood and bamboo, providing authentic native Lombok Village house, but still with modern luxury.
