In a world cluttered with tourist spots and travellers zigzagging across the globe, ticking off dog-eared bucket lists, the inevitable crowds and chatter follow you wherever you go. Isn’t it wonderful, when unexpectedly you stumble upon a hidden paradise – a quiet haven overlooked by the zealous crowds.

Located right next to Bali, Lombok is nothing like its neighbour. Or should we say, it is nothing like what Bali is today. Undiscovered Lombok is the Bali of 40 years ago, a tale of pristine beaches, uncrowded waves and quaint rural villages.

Here’s a thought – for your next vacation, why not do something different? Leave behind the red hot tourist spots and head to undiscovered Lombok, a gorgeous island thankfully forgotten by the world at large. Find yourself in the lap of nature, with lush green hills, champagne sand beaches and surprisingly good food. Finally, a destination that doesn’t bother with pretences.

Where to Stay in Lombok

While searching for the perfect Elite Haven, you are spoilt for choice.

1. Sira Beach House

Sira Beach House offers barefoot holiday bliss amongst coconut groves and white sands. Within easy reach of the villa are the beautiful Gili Islands, renowned for excellent diving and snorkelling sites. And just two minutes’ drive away is the magnificent Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club.

2. The Anandita

Sitting in the most photo-worthy spot on Sira Beach, is The Anandita, an enchanting oasis of island perfection sprawling amongst swaying coconut palms. Here you will find the most welcoming team dedicated to your enjoyment. From private bicycling, kayaking, fishing and snorkelling tours, to a volleyball match on the lawn, or just cocktails by the pool – it’s your choice and it’s all right here in this magical haven.

3. Villa Sapi

Perfect for large groups with children, Villa Sapi is contemporary and chic. Splash around in its three swimming pools or play a game of tennis at the court. Movie nights are super fun in the glass-walled media room. The edgy architecture makes this a must-do. It’s the perfect backdrop for enviable Instagram pictures.

4. Villa Sepoi Sepoi

For a traditional touch, choose Villa Sepoi Sepoi with its thatched roofs and enticing spaces such as open-sided pavilions and a poolside cabana bar. This is where local vibes meet luxurious facilities and five-star amenities.

Ever spotted a villa perched on a cliff, gazing out over Lombok’s stunning, untouched shoreline? That’s the magic of Malimbu Cliff Villa. It’s like a tropical paradise where modern luxury meets incredible views in a cosy five-bedroom island escape. And when you’re in the mood for some nightlife, you’ve got Senggigi just a quick drive away. Plus, the fantastic Gili Islands, famous for top-notch diving, are right around the corner.
