Sempiak Seaside Resort

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 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.

We stayed at Sempiak Villas in April for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom villa with infinity pool and it was simply stunning. We ate at Laut Biru and thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the staff at this restaurant are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I also visited their spa where I had an amazing coffee body scrub and facial . The beach is beautiful at Selong Balanak and very popular with people learning to surf. The staff at Sempiak are just so helpful and friendly and we look forward to returning.

Thank you so much to all the lovely staff there !! This place is amazing, big, beautiful and clin villa ! One of the my best southeast Asia destination! The beach is so beautiful and the area very safe. I already miss this place a lot and for sure I will come back!

This is our second time staying at Sempiak Villa. This time we have book Villa Kemiri. The stair to mezzanine is very narrow. Not suitable for kids under the 10 years old. The shower needs some maintenance for the dark sport. There is no door for privacy between the sleeping rooms so if you come with two couples, younshould aware in term privacy.The quality of the house in term of couch, bathroom, etc is a bit more cheaper then villa above the hills. We could see the difference. We have enjoyed our stay and the friendly staff. The white sandy beach ⛱ is just stunning and the kids could play safely. I have booked a night before for the breakfast for our last morning because we are leaving earlier. Unfortunately the breakfast come 45 minutes later so i have only 15 minutes to eat before we are leaving. I have told the staff that i would like to have breakfast at 7.30 because i am leaving at 8.30. The rest we have enjoyed our holiday!
