Senggigi Beach Lombok accommodation is coming of age, with new resort developments and hotels now springing up in this beautiful Island location.

The Senggigi Beach area is particularly popular with western tourists because of the good quality accommodation on offer and because the location offers a great base for the many day tripping activities the Island provides.It is also only about 20 minutes from the airport making passenger pickup and departure a simple exercise.

In addition to the comfort and luxury the western side of the Island provides at Senggigi, are the evening activities based around clubs and nightlife, making Senggigi an exciting vacation destination.

Senggigi Beach and the beaches to its north such as beautiful Klui Beach, offer the chance to experience pristine sandy shorelines, tropical ocean swimming and beachside relaxation in an unspoilt environment.

Lombok Accommodation-Jeeva Klui Resort,Klui Beach,Lombok

Accommodation Lombok-Lombok Accommodation,Jeeva Klui Resort

The accommodation Lombok, Indonesia, offers the visitors to its shores can vary greatly from location to location on the Island. It is wise therefore, that before you make travel plans or make an internet booking for a Lombok or Senggigi hotel, you discover exactly what you can expect.

For visitors to the island looking for surfing or eco tourism, the Kuta area (not to be confused with Kuta Bali) is a favourite destination. With pristine beaches and a reputation for great surf breaks, Kuta is certainly a drawcard for many people. People who do visit Kuta though should be prepared for a more traditional and rural accommodation experience.

Equally, the Gili Islands to the North West of Lombok offer a multitude of diving and fishing opportunities. However, it should be noted that until very recently, the Gilis were regarded as a backpackers haven, favoured by the younger set more willing to rough it. These days though, things are changing, with several developments including private villa rentals now available to visitors to the area.

For the majority of western visitors to the Island however, the Senggigi Beach area on the western side of Lombok has become the most popular place to holiday. This area has seen several western luxury resort style properties springing up, offering comfort, great service and a great base to return to after a day full of island activities.
Visitors considering staying in the Senggigi Beach area though should still do their homework as scattered in amongst the luxury accommodation options are still some more basic places to stay.

Essentially, it pays to:

1. Check holiday feedback sites such as Trip Advisor for comments and reviews about your intended hotel
2. Always check that there is English speaking staff available
3. Be aware that the Indonesian government collects taxes on top of the accommodation room rate and that this amount is usually added to the advertised room rate on Hotel websites unless otherwise notified
4. Check in advance if the hotel caters for the needs of children if you are travelling as a family group
5. Check that the hotel does airport transfers from the Lombok airport ( not all include this in the room rate)
6. Enquire if the menu of the hotel or resort serves western food, as spicy Lombok meals do not always agree with all palates

Essentially, Lombok accommodation has come a long way over the last few years, especially in the Senggigi Beach area, and with Lombok being regarded by many as the Bali of 25 years ago, it grows more popular as a tourist destination every year.

Opening 1st August 2010, Jeeva Klui Resort, Klui Beach, Senggigi, offers modern luxury with a serving of traditional Lombok style. You can discover more at http://www.jeevaklui.com including the great opening rates on offer for fabulous accommodation, Lombok style.

Best Senggiggi Hotel Lombok - Jeeva Klui Resort LOmbok

Are You Searching For The Best Senggigi Hotel Lombok Has To Offer?

Choosing the Best Senggigi Hotel Lombok has to offer can make the difference between a fabulous holiday or a holiday you would sooner forget!

Having lived and worked for several years in the Bali and Lombok region, its fair to say I've stayed in my share of Indonesian resort hotels. Its my opinion that the Jeeva Klui Resort is offering something refreshingly different to the Sengiggi Hotel scene.






Beautiful Jeeva Klui Resort , beside private and idyllic Klui Beach, lies approximately 5 mins by car from the main Senggigi Beach Hotel Stretch.

The resort’s architecture harmonizes the natural simplicity of its design with local architectural tradition and provides a subtle connection to the fascinating culture of Lombok.

The rustic chic design of the resort blends inextricably with its locale through the extensive use of local materials and aesthetics; ‘gudeg’ thatched roofs, hand-hewn stonewalls, and recycled timber.

Jeeva Klui is traditional and modern, laidback and sophisticated, a resort that caters for those who wish to ‘hammock’ and beach comb their days in paradise where modern comforts are always at hand from the amenities in the room to the excellent food and beverage.

The scenery in the resort is tropically stamped: a wide-fronted beach, tall leaning palms, quaint touches of traditional village life and stone and pebbled pathways leading through lush gardens.


Great care was taken to conceptualize a place where strong emphasis is placed on providing the ultimate holiday experience, while at the same time being socially and environmentally responsible through environmentally sensitive design and green practices

Opening On August 1st 2010, Jeeva Klui Resort is certainly set to take the title of best Senggigi Hotel Lombok has seen for quite a while! You can visit the Jeeva Klui website at http://www.jeevaklui.com

Senggigi Hotel Lombok-Lombok Holiday Guide

If you are looking to find the best Senggigi Hotel Lombok has to offer, then you are probably already sold on the many attributes that make Lombok ,Indonesia, a wonderful holiday destination.

The Island of Lombok lies just 25 miles east of Bali. But the similarities Lombok shares with modern day Bali are now few and far between. In fact it is fair to say that Lombok is like the Bali of 25 years ago. Lombok still boasts unspoilt sandy beaches, pristine waterfalls and amazing rural views.

Where to stay on Lombok really depends on what you want to do once you reach the island. Most definitely, different zones of the Island are suited to different types of travellers. 

For example:

The Lombok Kuta area offers a more traditional village environment that usually appeals to surfers and ‘eco travellers’ wanting a more simple experience of Island life.

The Gili Islands to the north west of mainland Lombok are traditionally a haven for backpackers and the young set more willing to ‘rough ‘it. More recently though there has been an attempt to broaden the accommodation options available on the islands, which now includes some villa accommodation

The Senggigi Beach region offers top quality resort and hotel style accommodation options, with modern services and facilities. Families with children, and travellers seeking western comforts are most suited to this well developed tourist area.

In the Senggigi Hotel Lombok area you can experience hotel comfort, bars and nightlife, together with great beaches, whilst still being able to day trip away and enjoy the many other activities the island has to offer
.
If the Senggigi area is where you decide to base your Lombok holiday, deciding exactly where to stay in the Senggigi Hotel stretch can make all the difference between having a good holiday and having a fantastic holiday, and it pays to do your homework before you make a booking.

It may seem like common sense but here’s a few important points to consider:


• Does the hotel have English speaking staff?

• Are there any online reviews of the accommodation where you can check what other visitors have said about the hotel

• Is the hotel near the beach or do you have to catch a cab

• Is the accommodation in amongst the noisy bars and clubs

• What activities are offered? Can the Hotel help arrange day trips to places such as Mt Rinjani and Lombok Kuta?

• Is the hotel child friendly? Are there facilities provided such as high chairs and cots for younger children. Are there any child minding facilities

• Does the resort have a spa pavilion or offer in house massage and spa treatments?

And of course the list goes on.

This article would of course not be complete without a recommendation of what the article writer considers to be the best Senggigi Hotel Lombok has on offer. After living in Asia for several years and spending two full years in Bali, I certainly know what to look for when searching out “decent” hotel accommodation on Lombok.
