Elevate Bali

Located on the pristine, white sand beach of Sire in the north of Lombok, Tugu Lombok is surrounded by green fields, rainforest and looks out over the azure Bali Sea. The sight of Mount Rinjani makes an impressive and imposing backdrop too.

Its traditional thatched huts are set within six hectares of mature palm plantations making up nineteen rooms, suites and villas in total. Tugu Lombok features hundreds of original artworks and beautiful antiques collected and assembled by the owner as a loving testament to the long forgotten, original culture of the isle of Lombok.

This is one the best places to stay in all of Lombok, and the room types range from the intimate, deluxe and naturally-styled rooms to the private villa with a rooftop terrace and pool. The Aloon Aloon villas prove popular with sunken copper baths and their own garden. In contrast to the traditional furniture and natural decor, all rooms provide contemporary creature comforts with flat screen TV’s, iPod docking stations, air con and WiFi.

Step aboard this luxury cruise where just you and your loved one can enjoy a romantic and indulgent voyage all to yourselves in a truly breathtaking setting. With just one exclusive cabin, the attentive staff are the only other people you will share the Alexa with, promising you complete privacy.

Spend your days on board enjoying your wonderfully romantic cabin, lounging on deck and pampering yourself with spa treatments. Meanwhile, off-board you can discover the extraordinary diving sites of Indonesia, visit remote islands with waterfalls and fish for your supper, before settling down to a delicious seafood barbecue on an idyllic, candle-lit beach.

The luxurious and decadent Amanjiwo hotel is quite simply mesmerising.

Furthermore across the Kedu Plain, Amanjiwo looks out to Borobudur, the 9th century Buddhist sanctuary and UNESCO World Heritage site: the sole reason many come to Java.

Taking this site as inspiration, the shape of Borobudur is very much reflected in the architecture and style of Amanjiwo with its 36 suites set in two graceful crescents around a central rotunda. The suites feature high ceilings with domed roofs, outdoor sunken stone baths within a high walled garden, marble floors and a raised four poster bed. Some of the spacious sun terraces come with their own private pool offering ultimate privacy. High limestone walls give shape to the walkways that link the suites to the main building, and that winds down to the forty-metre infinity pool.

In spite of your privileged views, a private tour to Borobudur cannot be missed. Watching the shadows of the Buddha’s shift and the sky burn as the sun rises over Mount Merapi is truly a magical experience. We can arrange entry to the temple before dawn, avoiding the crowds, allowing plenty of time to reach the summit in relative peace.

Filled with fascinating antiques, adding not only to this hotel’s locale in the heart of Malang Old Town but acting as a piece of cultural history itself; Tugu Malang gives you a comfortable and full experience here in eastern Java.

The 49 rooms at the hotel are furnished in a colonial style with a strong nod to east Javanese heritage. The Melati restaurant is famed its recipes based on Indonesian home cooking as well as a vast steak menu with Dutch and French influences. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Tugu Tea House and the Roti Tugu bakery offers fresh organic produce which is popular with hotel guests and local residents alike.

All guests to the Tugu Malang are welcomed to the hotel with a relaxation foot and shoulder massage; a welcome treat before setting off to explore the pretty colonial streets of Malang.
