The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok.

Spread across 24 acres of manicured tropical gardens on the shores of Medana Bay, The Oberoi Beach Resort offers a masterclass in understated coastal luxury. Designed by architect Peter Muller, the property eschews flashy modernism for thatched-roof pavilions and villas that harmonize with the landscape. Inside, the aesthetic is defined by hand-carved teak, sunken marble baths, and expansive terraces, many of which look out toward Bali’s Mount Agung. Beyond the infinity pool and private jetty, the resort operates as a quiet sanctuary with a strong focus on local culture, offering Sasak dance lessons and coral planting initiatives. Dining spans open-air cafes and refined Indonesian spaces, while the spa leans into holistic Eastern traditions. It is a secluded alternative to the bustling Gili Islands, which remain just a short boat ride away.
