Kairos Boutique Sports Hotel

Kairos is a recently opened boutique hotel set among rice fields just outside Selong Belanak village, about five minutes by scooter from the beach. It is built for active travellers: rooms are small private mini-villas with two-metre beds, and the grounds hold a fitness centre, pool, yoga shala with a view, climbing wall and a surfskate bowl.

Stays can be booked as room only or as sports packs, which add breakfast and a daily programme of surf, yoga, pilates, surfskate and fitness sessions, plus a weekly trip to the southern Gilis (Nanggu, Sudak and Kedis) or to the Tetebatu waterfalls and rice terraces. Walk-in classes are also open to non-guests, and the restaurant gets strong reviews for its burgers and healthy dishes.

It already has a perfect 5.0 Google rating from its early guests. Good for solo travellers and couples who want structure and company. Book on the website, which lists current pack prices.
