Lombok, Indonesia
Hotel Tugu Lombok is an antiques-laden boutique hotel, set on the pristine beach of Sire, on the northwest coast of Lombok. The hotel has a distinct colonial character, while its interiors are inspired by mythical stories of Indonesian Hindu gods. Owned by one of Indonesia’s most prominent antiques collectors and filled with supersized statues, this part hotel, part museum is a perfect gateway to the Gili islands and to experience a rustic and romantic side of Indonesia.
Nestled around lush tropical gardens, Hotel Tugu Lombok has just 39 villas. The seven Bhagavad Gita suites are thatched villas set well back from the beach, with detached bath houses equipped with traditional bucket showers. Inland, behind the 100-year-old carved wooden house from Java that serves as the hotel's lobby, are the Aloon-Aloon, six colonial-style villas. Even the most basic, a strip of five rooms have hand-hewn furniture and oversized copper tubs in outdoor bathrooms.
Situated right on the beach, guests at Hotel Tugu Lombok have plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports including snorkelling, surfing and kayaking. A short 20-minute ride onboard the hotel’s private boat, are three small, coral-fringed islands where you can see a variety of marine life. Nature tours to some of Lombok’s most beautiful waterfalls, volunteering for releasing the turtle hatchlings and learning the art of pearl cultivation are popular activities here.

When to go Straddling the equator, Indonesia tends to have a fairly even climate year-round. Rather than four seasons, Indonesia has two – wet and dry – and there are no extremes of temperature between winter and summer. In most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April and the dry season between May and September. December and January see Indonesia at its most humid and rain tends to come in sudden tropical downpours, but it can also rain for more prolonged periods.
