Tropik Resort Lombok is a small villa property in the Selong Belanak area on the south coast of Lombok, with twelve units spread across a garden setting. Accommodation is a mix of one-bedroom villas with a king bed, two-bedroom villas for four guests, three-bedroom villas for six and superior bungalows, so it works for couples, families and small groups. Units have air conditioning, a separate sitting area, free Wi-Fi, a safe, a large television, a rainfall shower, a wardrobe and a private yard, and some villas have their own pool. The shared outdoor pool is the main social space, and guests can also use the terrace and garden, borrow or rent bicycles, play basketball or try the outdoor pickleball court. Free self-parking is provided, and free cribs and babysitting for a fee make it practical for families with young children. The tour desk can arrange surf lessons, boat trips and visits to the nearby beaches. The setting is peaceful, with a village feel, and the price level sits comfortably below the large luxury villa resorts nearby, which makes it a good choice for value-minded travellers.
Location and getting around
The resort is a short drive from Selong Belanak Beach, a wide sandy bay that is popular for beginner surf lessons and sunset walks. Mawi Beach is a few miles away, and Mawun and Lancing beaches are within a short drive, so there are several beaches to try without moving hotels.
Kuta is around an hour away by car, and Lombok International Airport is about forty-five minutes away. Most guests hire a driver or a scooter, and the resort offers free parking for those who rent a car. A round-trip airport shuttle can be arranged for an extra charge, and rollaway beds are available for a fee.
What to expect
The private-pool villas are the best choice for couples and for anyone who wants to swim in the privacy of their own yard, while the shared pool suits families and travellers on a budget. The resort does not have a spa, so look for massage in the village or ask the staff for recommendations.
Meals are best planned in advance, because the area is quiet, and you should ask about breakfast and any on-site dining when you book. Cycling around the surrounding villages is a pleasant way to spend a morning, and the pickleball court is a fun extra for active guests.
Good to know
Check-in begins in the afternoon and runs into the evening, with limited late check-in, and check-out is at noon. The premises are smoke-free and pets are not allowed. This is a good base for surfers, families and couples who want a quiet south-coast stay and do not need a large resort.
Because the area is small and remote, book ahead for the dry season and for school holidays. If you want nightlife or a walkable beach town, base yourself in Kuta instead. If you want calm, space and a pool in the countryside, this resort is a smart pick.
