The Lombok Lodge

Lombok

Luxury $$$$

Our Take

The Lombok Lodge is one of the most genuinely family-oriented boutique properties in Lombok. With only 9 suites, the service is intensely personal — every child gets their own welcome surprise at check-in, family activities are tailored rather than timetabled, and the owners Ben and Anja have built the whole property around the idea that families should be able to experience the real Lombok alongside genuine luxury.

Daily à la carte breakfast is included in the rate. Dinner for two (or four in the Family Lodge suite) is also included. The private beach club Bagno di Gili sits at Turtle Point on Gili Meno — 15 minutes by boat from the Lodge. Exclusive to Lodge guests, it’s a white-sand coral beach with clear water and excellent snorkeling. Baby turtle releases happen regularly here, and children can participate — one of the genuinely memorable moments that makes a holiday stick in children’s minds for years.

Boat transfers to all three Gili Islands are arranged by the hotel. Worth being honest about the distance: the Lodge is in Medana Bay in North Lombok, approximately 60–90 minutes from Lombok International Airport. It’s a longer transfer than the Kuta properties, but the coastal road through rice paddies is genuinely beautiful, and the Lodge arranges airport transfers. Arriving by fast boat from Bali lands you close to this area of the island.

There is no formal kids club — the activities on offer are nature-based, cultural and adventure-focused. Families who want a structured activity program should look at Novotel or Pullman in Kuta instead. With a dive school on site, a cooking class, and an easy drive to the golf course, there are plenty of activities for everyone. Despite the boutique scale, your family’s needs are met with family suite room options and two- and three-bedroom villas. Many room categories include both breakfast and lunch.

Who'll Love it Most

Baby & Toddlers

Good

Intimate boutique scale suits babies well, with a private beach club and calm, clear water — included breakfast and dinner removes daily decision fatigue. Confirm cots with the hotel.

Excellent

The baby turtle release at Gili Meno is genuinely extraordinary, plus Gili Island boat trips, dolphin watching, and local market visits by horse cart round out the week.

TEENS

Excellent

Private Gili Meno beach club, snorkelling, island hopping and Rinjani trekking for older teens — a boutique setting that impresses teens who appreciate the unusual, without the crowds.

ADULTS & COUPLES

Excellent

Included dinner and breakfast, on-site Lodge Spa, and Medana Bay views with Mount Rinjani as backdrop — the most intimate, personal luxury in the Lombok collection.

The RunDown

Kids Sorted

Turtle release + Gili adventures

No formal kids club — babysitting available at a surcharge. What The Oberoi delivers instead is personal service that genuinely extends to children, with staff described teaching croquet and caring for young guests at the beach club.

The Beach

Bagno di Gili — private Gili Meno beach club

Exclusive private beach club at Turtle Point on Gili Meno — 15 minutes by boat. White coral sand, clear water, excellent snorkelling reef. Gazebos with sunbeds reserved for Lodge guests. The Gili Meno Turtle Nursery is right here.

The Main Event

Intimate boutique luxury with Gili access

The private marina with direct Gili Island access is the headline experience — 10 minutes to Gili Air, Meno or Trawangan for snorkelling, beach days and diving. The service culture is the property's defining quality.

Feed the Crew

Breakfast and often dinner included

Daily à la carte breakfast included for all guests. 5-course dinner included for two (four in Family Lodge suite). Fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Dining under the stars on Medana Bay. Removes the decision fatigue of multiple restaurant meals.

Getting There

60–90 min from airport

North Lombok is approximately 60–90 minutes from Lombok International Airport via the coastal road through rice paddies. The drive is genuinely beautiful. The Lodge arranges airport and harbour transfers — book when you reserve.

The Detail

Welcome surprise & personal service

Every child receives their own welcome surprise at check-in. Activities tailored to your family. Owners present and involved. The service culture at a 9-suite owner-run property is qualitatively different from anything a 257- room resort can offer.

About Lombok

Quieter, more pristine, and worth every effort. For families who’ve done Bali and want to go further.

Lombok sits just across the strait from Bali — a short flight or fast boat away — and the difference hits you immediately. The beaches are more pristine, the crowds are thinner, and the whole island moves at a pace that feels genuinely unhurried. If Bali has become a little too familiar, Lombok is the answer.

But let’s be honest about what you’re trading. Lombok doesn’t yet have the family infrastructure of south Bali. The restaurant scene is thinner, activity options are fewer, and the distances between things are longer. The hotels carry more of the weight here — you’re more reliant on your resort to keep everyone happy, especially with young children. It rewards families who are confident travellers and who genuinely want to switch off.

That said, the hotels themselves are extraordinary. From the benchmark Oberoi on Medana Beach to the boutique charm of The Lombok Lodge, the standard of luxury is genuinely high. Worth knowing before you plan: Lombok has two distinct areas for families. Fly in and you’llnaturally base yourself around Kuta Lombok in the south — where Novotel and Pullman sit on a sheltered, swimmable bay. Arrive by fast boat from Bali, and you’ll come in near the Gili Islands in the north — where The Lombok Lodge and The Oberoi sit on the stunning Medana Bay coastline. Both areas are excellent. The right one depends on how you arrive.

For families who have done Bali multiple times and want something quieter, more pristine and a little less predictable — Lombok delivers. Come knowing what it is. Leave wanting to come back.
