accommodation In kuta & the south coast
Sempiak Villas – Selong Belanak
Since it first opened in January 2011, Sempiak Villas has quickly established itself as one of the best resorts in Lombok. With a collection of private villas discreetly tucked into the hillside overlooking the sweeping white sands of Selong Belanak Beach, Sempiak Villas is a truly magical holiday destination.
Over the past eight years, the resort has grown to encompass not only the premium hillside villas but also beachside holiday homes, a delightful bespoke Spa area and the renowned Laut Biru Bar and Restaurant on the beachfront.
Novotel Resort – Kuta Mandalika
The Novotel Lombok Resort is (at present) the largest resort on the south coast of Lombok. That may change, with several large resorts planned for development over the next couple of years, but for now, the Novotel offers the greatest range of accommodation options in the south.
With a total of 102 rooms available, the 4-star Novotel has accommodation for all tastes and budgets. Most travellers will be very comfortable in any of the 77 superior and deluxe rooms and suites at the resort.
But for those looking for a little more luxury and privacy, the private villas are the stars of the show!
Sempiak Holiday House – Selong Belanak
Finding family accommodation, or places that can accommodate large groups, is not easy – especially on the south coast. Most hotels and even private villas seem to be configured for smaller families of up to four.
So it was a challenge when we set out to find somewhere to stay in South Lombok for a group of 15!
The lovely Sempiak Villas on Selong Belanak Beach need no introduction as one of the premier places to stay on the south coast but few people know about the Sempiak Holiday Houses – which are a separate entity to Sempiak Villas but on the same property.
