Holiday Resort Lombok

Holiday Resort Lombok is a sprawling beachfront property at Mangsit, set in coconut groves facing the Lombok Strait and the Gili Islands. The pool area is the centrepiece, with multiple sections, swim-up spots and plenty of loungers, and sunsets over Mount Agung are a nightly event.

Accommodation ranges from garden chalets and ocean-view rooms to beach bungalows, a two-bedroom Mangsit suite and beach garden suites with private pools. Dining options include Kayangan Restaurant, the D'Cabana beach club and Gecko's Steak & Sports Bar. There is a spa, a kids' club, a playground and a programme of guest activities, and the resort offers romantic, family and all-inclusive packages.

It is particularly well suited to families with young children, who make up a good share of the guests. Rooms are spacious and clean, and staff are noted for being good with kids. The resort is about 10 minutes north of central Senggigi. Booking direct on the website brings extra benefits.
