There’s a certain kind of calm you only find when the ocean is your front yard and time stretches with the tide.
At Amber Lombok Beach Resort, the day begins with the hush of waves and ends with the warm glow of a Selong Belanak sunset. Between those moments is where the magic happens — sometimes in small, quiet ways, sometimes in big, heart-filling adventures.
Waking Up With the Bay
Mornings here begin barefoot. The sand is still cool, the bay a mirror for the sky and the smell of coffee drifts from Bayside Restaurant & Bar.
Choose your space — a cosy room, an airy suite, or a private-pool villa for those who want to slip into the water before breakfast. Each space feels grounded in place, with locally made furniture, earthy tones, and just the right amount of indulgence.
Savouring the Moments
Bayside isn’t just a restaurant — it’s the resort’s heartbeat.
Lazy breakfasts that turn into late mornings
Healthy, fresh lunches
Evenings with live music or private beach “cocoon” dinners
Pro tip: Time happy hour with sunset and watch the sky turn from soft peach to deep gold.
Rest for Body & Mind
The Mukti Wellness Center invites you to slow down. Massages, herbal wraps, facials — the kind of treatments that feel like the island has seeped into your bones.
The beachfront infinity pool blurs the line between sea and sky. There’s even a small gym for those who like to keep their routine going.
Culture in the Everyday
Amber weaves Lombok’s story into your stay.
On Thursdays, join a nyesek weaving workshop — an art passed down through generations.
On Saturdays, water buffalo stroll the beach at sunset, their slow pace matching the island’s rhythm.
Seeking Adventure
When you’re ready to swap stillness for adventure:
Surf lessons for all levels
Snorkelling and diving in crystal waters
Pink Beach day trips
Hiking through Tete Batu’s rice paddies and waterfalls
If Lombok is the song, Amber is the slow, steady beat that lets you dance your own way.
Dérive and Seek Takeaway
Amber Lombok isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to feel the island’s rhythm. To drift through unhurried days, then seek moments that root you deeply in the here and now.
