The rooms are designed using age-old crafts and contemporary techniques.

Alternatively, savour an intimate experience within the Julang restaurant, which blends fine-dining with a community feel. Again, organic ingredients from the farm are turned into delightful dishes.

During your stay you can also enjoy a traditional Sumbanese ritual derived from local shamanic healing techniques within the spa.Rejuvenate your senses with yoga and meditation at the beach or in the calming yoga pavilion, or relax within the cooling waters of the large swimming pool.
