If your design tastes skew less toward sleek, contemporary minimalism and more toward extravagant, over-the-top maximalism, you’ll be greatly rewarded checking in at Tugu Lombok on the island’s northwestern shore. Taking its design cues from the ancient Majapahit empire with grand statues and towering wooden longhouses, the property is a visual feast of artwork and architecture, as well as becalming ocean vistas.
The kaleidoscopic suites are lavishly appointed with paintings, sculptures, ornately carved wood furniture, antiques, and rich textures and tones—like staying in your own personal temple. Some feature private gardens, while others have elongated outdoor swimming pools. Bathe in copper or tiled tubs, some set outdoors in private areas, and gaze through the trees toward the beach from breezy al fresco lounge areas.
The rest of Tugu Lombok is just as palatial. Stone statues overlook seaglass-green swimming pools, open-air temples hold spa treatment rooms, and an actual 200-year-old temple, where grand Indonesian feasts are served, sits amongst the palm trees and tropical gardens. The centerpiece of it all is the Kokok Pletok Restaurant: a massive, thatch-roof pavilion adorned with oversize Hindu deity statues and crowned by a larger-than-life carving of a rooster, which can be seen for miles around.
It’s not just the design that communicates a sense of place at Tugu Lombok. Taste the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine in stately dining rooms or hidden-away bar huts, join yoga and meditation classes, and take part in traditional blessing rituals. Lombok’s pristine beaches and island interior also beckon to be explored on diving excursions, fishing trips, and hikes.
