Origin Lombok

Origin sits on Jalan Raya Sengkol between central Kuta and Tanjung Aan beach, in quiet tropical gardens a few minutes' ride from both. The heart of the resort is a pair of large lagoon pools surrounded by sunbeds, sofas and palms.

Rooms include 50 m² Pool Suites with direct access to the shared pool, 40 m² Deluxe Pool rooms, and Robinson bamboo villas of around 90 m² with outdoor hammocks. Every room has a terrace with a daybed, and a buffet breakfast is included. The resort also offers surf, massages and a restaurant, and is a sister property of Amber Lombok near Selong Belanak.

It suits couples and small groups who want a pool-centred stay close to the eastern beaches. Booking direct gives 10% off and a welcome-drink upgrade; you will want a scooter or driver to get around.
