Lombok stays The Oberoi
1The Oberoi at Medana Beach isn’t the newest hotel in Lombok but it has been delivering above and beyond to such a level of consistency that punters keep coming back. And you can’t get higher praise than that. Fringed with frangipanis and palms, the pool tumbles to the beach, while the spa is a slice of heaven and the three restaurants offer super-fresh fare.
Even the entry-level Garden View rooms span 90 sqm and include private terraces with sunken marble baths.
It just gets more spectacular from there and is as far away as you can get from the brash craziness of Bali without actually going to another country. This is just one of the island’s idylls.
