Sikara Lombok Hotel

Sikara is a contemporary tropical hotel on Jalan Mawun in Kuta, a short stroll from the beach and the restaurants of Jl. Raya Kuta. It has 50 rooms and one studio spread across two-storey buildings set among palms, each facing either the pool or the garden, and some with open-air rooftops.

Room categories run from The Breeze and The Shade up to The Prime, The Supreme and the Sikara Studio. The centre of the property is a long lap-style pool lined with loungers, and there is an on-site restaurant serving breakfast through dinner.

It sits in the comfortable middle of Kuta's price range and suits couples and friends who want a pool, clean modern rooms and walkable access to town without paying resort prices. Book direct on the website for current offers; scooters are the easiest way to reach the surf beaches.
