Bruga Boutique Hotel

Bruga Boutique Hotel (formerly Bruga Villas) is on the main Selong Belanak to Kuta road, a few minutes' drive or a longer walk from the beach. Rooms open onto a long pool and are spacious, with two-metre beds and hot showers; there is also a two-bedroom villa with its own pool for families and small groups.

The hotel's Surf Kitchen restaurant serves breakfast, Indonesian and Western mains and seafood platters, and an upstairs sports bar and bottle shop handle drinks and cocktails. Repeat guests mention very fast Wi-Fi and friendly service, which makes it popular with remote workers. Scooters can be rented on site.

Despite the roadside location, reviewers say it is surprisingly quiet. Some note that breakfast choices are limited compared with the full menu. It scores 4.8 on Google and 9.1 on Booking.com. Book via Booking.com or by phone.
