Svarga Resort Lombok

Svarga Resort is set on the hillside between central Senggigi and Mangsit, with low-rise villa-style buildings spread through palm-filled gardens. The architecture uses natural stone and wood, and some rooms come with their own plunge pools and garden courtyards, while others have large windows framing views over the hills.

The resort's Salza Restaurant sits above the coast with views over the Indian Ocean and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is a spa and event space. The grounds are quiet, which suits couples and those wanting a calmer base than the beachfront resorts, though the beach is a short drive or walk downhill.

Svarga is a good-value option for a resort stay in Senggigi, with mid-range prices and frequent monthly promotions on its website. The airport is about 80 minutes away. A scooter or taxi is useful for getting to restaurants in town and to the Mangsit beach clubs.
