All rooms are thoughtfully designed with pieces curated from Lombok and India, bringing together two cultures to give each room a stylish, cosy, vibe. In line with their eco-ethos, the rooms showcase upcycled furniture, and the refillable water bottles are made from reclaimed glass.

Creating vibrant dishes with hearty flavors and home cooked vibes the daytime menu features an eclectic mix of international favorites; from lunchtime until 11pm you can savor famous Indian food with a well-cooked curry and hand-crafted Naan from the Tandoor oven.
