Villas occupy an increasingly significant niche in Lombok’s growing tourist industry. They offer a degree of spaciousness and privacy which is not often found elsewhere. Architectural styles frequently emphasize traditional themes and harmonise with the natural environment to create a park like setting. Uniquely, large groups can book an entire self – contained property for themselves, while couples can revel in the privacy they provide.

Amenities are invariably extensive and sophisticated, and there is 24 hours staff support. Everything from child minding, to active and passive activity, can be arranged quickly.

Private catering and medical support are some of the other attractions. Luxury is the keynote of Lombok Villas where peace and tranquility reign supreme. Geographically the villas will usually fall into one of four categories:

Firstly, the Gili Islands whose white sand beaches and clean sea is of great appeal. The absence of motor traffic emphasizes the beauty of these corals.

Secondly, those on or close to the beach at resort towns such as Senggigi and Kuta Lombok

Thirdly, those which take advantage of Lombok’s beautiful hinterland and are situated on the hillside or in river valleys, often with river frontage. The panorama from these places is invariably spectacular. Local culture is often given emphasis in these areas.

Another category is the larger Hotel which sometimes has a Villa complex attached for these seeking additional privacy and spaciousness.
