Sempiak Seaside Resort

We stayed in villa Kenari 2 adults and 3 teens - we absolutely loved the resort. It has a very relaxed vibe. The restaurant is reasonably priced and service very efficient. Our villa was amazing - perfect for us. The 2 twin beds are up a very steep staircase/ladder so would not be suitable for all. The views...... amazing. Lots of time relaxing staring at the view. Pool was warm. We also ate at Segara and Boni beach - would recommend both. It is very much a beginner surf beach - small waves by Aussie standards. There are many warungs on the beach where you can hire boards or arrange surf trips. The resort has beach lounges for guests only which is well monitored (shout out to Boyon at the beach club). They can also arrange day trips. Recommend the villas up the hill for the incredible view - they have a car that can drive you up as needed, quick service. There is an ATM at the front gate and a minimart not too far. Loved our stay and hopefully will be back.

We were upgraded to Belenatara on arrival so I'll try not to be too biased: Everyone here, and on the island of Lombok are really friendly. The staff at the resort were super attentive and did everything to help us have an amazing stay. The place is very neat and has everything you need ;and the mile long beach in incredible. Belantara villa, on the crown of the hill is palacial and has the most incredible vista of the bay. If the climb is too much, the hotel will run you up and down in a buggy. The restaurant was excellent and catered for Vegans with ease. Thank you to Luckman and his colleagues for being so good at their job. In short, this place needs o be kept a secret.

I stayed at Sempiak for 6 nights, and I had the most amazing time. I did not want to leave, and I know for certain that I will be back. What did I love? - My villa. I stayed in the Kembang villa. It was perfectly formed. I could look at the ocean from my bed, or from the shaded porch area which was perfect for the hot afternoons. It had privacy and a real sense of spaciousness. - The staff. Oh my heavens...the staff. They exude a real sense of welcome, and as time wears on, of family. Their smiles are genuine, an invitation to settle in and stay. They care. By contrast, I stayed on a resort on Gili Meno after leaving here, and I was so sad to see that the staff didn't connect with the guests on a personal level. Top marks to the management for fostering an amazing employee culture. - The restaurant, Laut Biru. I know that it can't be easy running a top-notch restaurant in Lombok; but I have to say that everything from the fruit juice to the Pad Thai was pitch-perfect and consistent. Once again, the staff are a stand-out, and the fact that some of them have been at Sempiak for 10 years + is a testament to how well-run this place is. - The beach, Selong Belanak. The first time I stepped onto the beach, I was dumbstruck with its sheer beauty and had to sit for a while to recover my equilibrium. It has soft white sand, turquoise water, and gently breaking waves which are perfect for surf lessons. Even better, half of the beach is uninhabited, which gives a lovely balance of wildness with civilisation. Also the beach is also well-used by locals, which gives a beautiful sense of community and wholeness, and a sense that we tourists aren't marginalising the local people but rather are adding to their livelihood. At night, the fishing boats are all lit up, gently bobbing on the waves like stars of the sea. To me, Sempiak is the perfect balance of luxury and nature, high standards and Indonesian hospitality. I almost don't want to write a review because I want to keep it all to myself!

We stayed 3 nights at Sempiak villa, located in Selong balanak beach , probably one of the three best in Asia. Breakfast was excellent, staff well trained,lunch and dinner was fabulous at the lauy biru cafe . Thank you for your hospitality CM

We had great expectations going to Sempiak Villas July 2024, but due to sickness in our family, we had to cancel the booking. Even it was non refound booking, they did not charge anything, great service. I hope to visit Bali/Lombok next year, and will for sure stay with you.
