Boni Beach Lombok

Boni Beach is a small hotel and restaurant in Serangan, at the Selong Belanak end of the south-west coast. The restaurant rates 4.8 on Google and the hotel 4.9, and both are run by a local team with a relaxed, welcoming style.

The kitchen focuses on Indonesian flavours and local ingredients, with homemade bread and ice cream, breakfast over good coffee and drinks on the rooftop with ocean views at sunset. If you want to stay, the hotel has rooms, private-pool bungalows and villas around a pool and gardens, and the website posts a daily surf forecast for the nearby breaks.

Drop in for lunch between beach stops or come for a sunset drink on the roof. Tables and rooms can be booked by WhatsApp or email.
