A Singular Entry for Indonesia | Lombok Private Villa Estate

There is a quiet pride in sharing this moment.
Lombok Private Villa Estate, part of the family-owned collection behind The Lombok Lodge Boutique Hotel, has been selected as the only Indonesian entry on the Condé Nast Traveler 2026 Hot List.

In a highly curated global selection, this recognition is not only an achievement – it is a statement.
The list was unveiled on Thursday, April 23, with selected properties also featured in the May/June print editions across the US and UK.

A Vision Realised

This recognition marks the culmination of a journey shaped by dedication, craftsmanship, and a clear vision.
From its opening in 2025, Lombok Private Villa Estate has been created with a focus on intimacy, design integrity, and a deeply considered guest experience.
It reflects the collective effort of a passionate team who brought this vision to life.

A Setting of Quiet Distinction

Located along the peaceful shores of northwestern Lombok, near the Gili Islands, the estate is immersed in a setting of tranquillity and natural beauty.  Framed by the majestic silhouette of Mount Rinjani and overlooking uninterrupted ocean horizons, it offers a rare balance between seclusion and openness — where the surrounding landscape becomes an integral part of the experience. Beyond the coastline, guests are invited to discover the island’s extraordinary diversity, from scenic journeys through lush landscapes and hidden waterfalls to unforgettable adventures inspired by the beauty of Mount Rinjani and Lombok’s spectacular natural landscapes.

Design in Harmony with Nature

The architectural vision by Vittorio Simoni reflects a restrained and thoughtful approach, where contemporary design meets the natural character of Lombok.
Rather than dominating the surroundings, the estate integrates quietly into its environment – creating a sense of balance, simplicity, and understated elegance.

A Distinct Villa Experience

Lombok Private Villa Estate offers a highly personalised villa experience, defined by privacy, space, and attentive service.It is a natural extension of the philosophy behind The Lombok Lodge Boutique Hotel – where luxury is expressed through detail, calm, and a deeply personal approach to hospitality.

A Proud Moment

To be included in the Condé Nast Traveler 2026 Hot List is an honour.
To represent Indonesia as its sole entry makes it even more meaningful.

This recognition reflects not only a destination, but a philosophy one rooted in intimate luxury, thoughtful design, and genuine hospitality.

And, in many ways, it is only the beginning.
