West Lombok
This is easily the island's most stylish bar and restaurant. Dine on fresh seafood and refined Sumatran fare at the bougainvillea-shaded tables, or down some cocktails (or wine by the glass!) on the beanbag-filled deck.
There are six beautifully designed bungalows surrounding a pool on the hill behind the restaurant (500,000Rp to 600,000Rp).
