In Lombok, the surfer lifestyle and snazzy luxury rarely mix. Then again, Selong Selo has never been your typical conformist resort.  A refreshing new concept is taking shape in the hills above Selong Belanak beach bringing a touch of SoCal style to South Lombok. Selong Selo Surf Villas is essentially a new resort within a resort concept, with its own distinctive design, personality and vibe.  It’s taking shape right now with studios, one- and two-bedroom surf villas perched on the hillside.

Imagine your very own Malibu beach hut haven with sleek white interiors embellished with custom artworks and slinky flowing drapes. All facing toward the ocean, wall to ceiling windows unlock panoramic views.  There is a range of configurations offering optimum use of space spanning 84 to 127sqm.

The natural fixtures have light, organic hues, radiating warmth within the curvaceous modern design, and blend seamlessly with soft linens decorated with subtle motifs. There are expansive bathrooms, ample lounging and space to work. The clean lines continue outdoors as an extension of the surroundings. Overhanging the lush hillside is a spacious outdoor veranda with a daybed and private plunge pool. The elevated position not only presents awesome vistas but captures cool breezes sweeping in off the south coast.

Accessed by winding pathways of natural stone and wood, the Surf Villas are set within their own secluded corner of Selong Selo but also benefit from the main resort amenities. This includes Aura Restaurant, a fully equipped gym, children’s club, tennis court and luxury spa. A new beach club is in the works and set to open later this year. The Surf Villas are part of Selong Selo’s integrated residential resort concept offering villa ownership and rental management services. Take your pick; make it your permanent abode and enjoy the sun-kissed scenery every day or reap the rewards of a steady rental income as a savvy investor. Due to open in October 2020, a beachy coastal vibe permeates throughout the Surf Villas complex, and you’ll be right in the thick of it for some of Lombok’s best surf spots.
