West Sumbawa, Indonesia

Getting here

We are remote, that is rather the point. A flight through Bali, a crossing and a drive along the coast, and the lagoon is in front of you. Tell us how you are travelling and we will have a driver or a boat waiting.

The route

To the lagoon

Everyone comes through Bali. From Ngurah Rai it is a thirty minute hop to Lombok or straight on to Sumbawa Besar, and the last leg is ours to arrange.
