For a rewarding luxe villa getaway it comes down to two distinct choices: the secluded privacy of a private luxury home or a resort-style holiday with a few extra frills and more social interaction. In a few rare cases in Lombok you can have it all without compromise, even for a large family or group. A great example of this is up on the hill overlooking gorgeous south coast at Selong Selo.  

Built into the hillside with jaw-dropping vistas over Selong Belanak, this is a comtemporary chic villa concept that takes full advantage of its stunning setting. If you are seekiing that ultimate inspirational backdrop, the resort’s Villa Pemburu hits the mark in fine style. One of the unique features is the meticulous focus on families. Boasting four bedrooms, all with en suites, there are bunk beds and baby cots available and the open plan layout invites families and groups to eat, relax and play together.

It has a sleek, subtle minimalist feel but the integrated lounge, dining area and fully equipped kitchen has a splash of colour, and plenty of character. It leads out onto an expansive sundeck filled with loungers and the appealing infinity pool. This is the spot to gaze out toward the sugary sand and turquoise ocean – vistas you’ll likely never get tired of.

There are many other vantage points throughout the villa to savour equally compelling views with all rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. There are multiple areas inside and out to socialise, dine or simply chill togrther, as well as quiet nooks to seek solace.

The master bedroom takes up the third level offering a private space to relax away from the main social activity. Three further bedrooms including a kids bunk room that sleeps up to four. Another plus is the dedicated media room.

Overall you get a whopping 625 square metres of luxe living space with a wealth of intricate detailing throughout, from subtle arty touches to plush fabrics and mood lighting. Little touches such as table accessories and lattice wood in the bathrooms all add to the effect.

Importantly, it works its magic in both style and substance. While it impresses with a sense of modern flair, it is also a functional space with a thoughtful, uncluttered layout. Transitioning seamlessly between languid lounging by the pool, al fresco dinner under the stars or an intimate cocktail party is a breeze.

Guests also get access to round-the-clock on call Butler Service and must-have room amenities like mini bar and tea/coffee making facilities. It’s an integral part of the Selong Selo luxury resort community, so you are free to choose when to retreat into your private luxe haven or venture out and socialise with others within the resort’s restaurant and bar. There is also private dining and luxury spa pampering.
