Kuara Lombok
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $250
Kuara is a boutique beachfront resort on the southern coast of Lombok, in the village of Mertak, about 45 minutes from the island's international airport. It opened in 2025 with just 16 villas, designed around the landscape, culture and slower rhythm of this part of the island. The resort sits on the beach, a short walk from Surga Beach, with an outdoor pool, a full-service spa and a restaurant and bar overlooking the sea. Days can include cycling, paddleboarding or snorkelling, and the surf breaks of south Lombok, from beginner waves to more challenging reefs, are close by, with lessons available nearby. Kuta and the Mandalika circuit are about 15 minutes away.
Amanjiwo
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $1,350
Amanjiwo sits in the countryside of Central Java, surrounded by rice paddies and the Menoreh Hills, with Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, in full view. The resort is built from local limestone, and its architecture mirrors the 9th-century monument, with a domed central pavilion inspired by the temple's stupas. Its 36 suites are arranged in a crescent along stone walkways, each with a walled garden, a four-poster bed on a raised platform and a thatched outdoor pavilion with a daybed. Many have private pools. The restaurant, under a silver-leaf ceiling, looks out over Borobudur and the surrounding volcanoes. Being so close to the temple means guests can visit at dawn, before the crowds arrive.
Tampah Hills
VillaAsia, Indonesia
From $650
Tampah Hills is a private villa resort on the green slopes above Lombok's south coast, about 45 minutes from the island's international airport. Each villa is designed by a different architect, using local stone, teak and reclaimed wood, and each comes with its own pool and a wide view of the Indian Ocean. Mornings start with breakfast cooked in the villa by a private chef. The rest of the day can be spent on the white sand beach below, at nearby surf breaks for every level, or on the resort's padel and tennis courts. It suits families and groups of friends looking for space, privacy and a slower pace than Bali, with five-star service close at hand.
Awera Resort
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $199
Located on a small island just off Sipora in the Mentawais, Awera Resort combines ten private villas with direct access to white sand, warm Indian Ocean water and one of the world’s best-known surf regions. Each villa has its own infinity pool and garden, while the resort is surrounded by reef breaks, quiet beaches and clear water reached easily by boat. Its remote island setting makes it as appealing for surf trips as it is for a slower stay centred on swimming, snorkeling and time outdoors.
The Asa Maia
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $420
The Asa Maia is a small wellness retreat in Uluwatu, a short walk from Thomas Beach and some of Bali’s best-known surf. Century-old Javanese houses, indigenous art and lush gardens create an intimate setting for a programme centred on movement, breathwork, recovery and nourishing food. The result is distinctly Balinese but avoids the typical resort formula, placing wellness, craftsmanship and a slower rhythm at the centre of the stay.
Somewhere Lombok
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $250
Somewhere Lombok is part of the island’s newer generation of design-led surf stays, set among palms and hills near the beaches around Kuta. The hotel pairs contemporary villas and private plunge pools with a strong focus on wellbeing, sustainability and the local community, while world-class waves remain close enough to organize the day around the surf. It is polished, but never detached from Lombok’s wilder tropical character.
Nihi Sumba
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $1,840
NIHI Sumba occupies a wild stretch of coastline on Sumba, an Indonesian island still far removed from the density of Bali. In recent years, it has become one of the clearest symbols of experiential luxury, not only because of the hotel itself, but because of what it offers in such an extraordinary setting. Surfing, horseback riding, waterfalls, wellness and encounters with Sumbanese culture turn the stay into something much broader than a beach escape.
Capella Ubud
HotelAsia, Indonesia
From $1,100
Capella Ubud is a theatrical tented retreat hidden within the rainforest and rice fields of Ubud. Designed by Bill Bensley, the hotel takes inspiration from 19th-century explorers, with individually styled tents, maximalist interiors and a playful approach to storytelling. The project was built with minimal intervention to the landscape, preserving every existing tree and allowing the jungle to remain central to the experience.
