A WORLD OF LUXURY IN LOMBOK

Keep up with the latest happenings and the hottest destinations in the region. From the new resort The Legian Sire, Lombok, and the re- opening of Raffles Singapore, to The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel joining The Leading Hotels of the World.

Set to be Indonesia's most exclusive beachfront resort, Legian Hotel Management has recently introduced The Legian Sire, Lombok. Opening in the middle of this year, the resort sits majestically on one of Lombok's finest beaches, and will consist of The Legian Sire, The Club by The Legian Sire and The Residences by The Legian Sire, all offering unrivalled views of the Gili islands and Bali's Mount Agung.

In line with the timeless Indonesian décor that is a mainstay at The Legian Seminyak, Bali, the new resort has been designed by an independent studio helmed by Agnes Affandy and Shaun Yeo. Touted as prodigies in Indonesian design, Affandy and Yeo's vision for the Lombok resort was to create similar energy by using hand-woven tenun ikat fabrics from Sumba and exquisitely hand- carved solid teak from Sumbawa. Award-winning

ESA International is responsible for the architecture creating long-lasting memories, with highlights including a two-tiered swimming pool and a cleverly designed shape for the resort that allows every suite to have a large, ocean-facing private terrace.

Within the compound, The Legian Sire, Lombok offers high levels of service and exclusivity with 46 suites, including a penthouse. Those looking for the ultimate exclusivity can opt to stay at The Club by The Legian Sire, home to 15 pool villas and The Beach Estate with direct access to the beach.

Indulging the senses can be found in both dining venues and at Wellness at The Legian Sire. For dining, organic and locally grown ingredients are highlights on the menu, with vegetarian choices also available. For relaxing, the spa, led by Tomoka Nguyen, offers bespoke spa treatments, nutrition, fitness and highly personalized programmes for your wellbeing. lhm- hotels.com
