What They are Saying About Us

Guest Support

We Provide A Fully Inclusive Experience

We live on-site (not too close–your privacy is assured) and can offer instant attention and assistance in fluent English. We understand (and cherish) how remote we are and work hard to ensure this tranquility is preserved. If you’re looking for hustle and bustle, nightlife, or endless restaurant options, then Phoenix Villas is not for you. This is not to say you can’t be active and take in everything Lombok has to offer, but when you return ‘home’, the rest of the world disappears and you’re in our very capable hands.

We absolutely love making family and group holidays easy and memorable. Need help communicating with any local providers? Need recommendations on what activities are kid friendly? Need assistance with planning out your trip with a budget in mind? Wondering how to get to/from Bali smoothly? We got you! Think of us as your ‘inside connection’ to Lombok and Bali.

Why Sekotong and Why The Phoenix Villas

Sekotong was named as the “best upcoming tourist destination in Lombok” in 2014. The government widened all roads and improved access to Sekotong considerably at that time.

Sekotong has been touted as an “an underwater tourism destination comparable to Raja Ampat”  since the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries designated the region’s three most-visited islands of Gili Nanggu, Gili Sudak and Gili Tangkong as marine conversation areas. It’s also home to the only Marine Aquaculture Development Center on the island as well as the hub for NGO Deep Blue Sea, the island’s only coral restoration and preservation initiative. We can arrange one-of-a-kind coral transplanting dives that will not only leave you with the GPS coordinates of your own ‘piece of Lombok’ but also with a deep appreciation for the sensitive ecosystems that need your help.

Sought after snorkeling and diving destinations near The Phoenix Villas in the Sekotong Peninsula:

  • Gili Nanggu
  • Gili Sudak
  • Gili Tangkong
  • Gili Poh
  • Gili Genting
  • Gili Lontar
  • Gili Layar
  • Gili Amben
  • Gili Gede
  • Gili Anyaran
  • Gili Asahan

Sekotong is home to Budaya Mutiara, a fully operating saltwater pearl farm. Tour their traditional operation and see how pearls are grown and perhaps take home a beautiful, personally harvested souvenir.

Sekotong proudly displays its world-renown Mangrove preserve that features a pier along with a floating restaurant.  In fact, the UK NGO Blue Marine Foundation has recently signed a 3-year agreement to work in cooperation with local leaders to continue the fight to protect these rapidly disappearing natural wonders.

Sekotong’s Bangko Bangko, one of the top 10 best surfing spots in the world, attracts more experienced surfers from distant corners of the globe all year round.

Sekotong has been recognized for its incredible potential. Along with a myriad of boutique accommodations, it currently has two major branded hotels, namely the Sundancer Resort Lombok and Cocotinos, but we are thrilled to welcome Hotel Kempinski with its 254 rooms on Makaki Beach (scheduled to open in 2025). Moreover, both the Grande Golf & Country Club and an international hospital and retirement center are under construction and scheduled to be operational in 2026.

Sekotong has Lembar Harbor, the dominant island harbor, which hosts slow ferries every 2 hours that connect our string of islands to Bali. It also features the only separate cruise ship port on the island at Sekontong’s Tawun Harbor, which is expected to be in use by the end of 2023 by two major cruise lines. Tawun Harbor is also a new fast boat destination pick-up/drop-off point from Bali’s Padang Bai Harbor.

Sekotong’s Gili Gede offers Marina Del Ray, the only international standard, foreign flagged deep marina in Lombok with well protected year-round entry port, yacht mooring, long-term slip rentals, fuel provisions, and utility hook-ups, with full-service Yacht Club, yacht chartering, hotel, and PADI dive center.

Sekotong also has one of the only garbage collection programs to clean up beaches and high traffic areas in villages. Even though not funded or supported by the government, it has managed to reclaim entire beaches and reduce the rubbish inside villages solely on funds provided by local hotels and businesses (The Phoenix Villas included).

Amenities

Considering the fact we are nestled away, we do not yet have fiber optic internet. However, each and every Eco-Suite and Villa is provided with a separate mobile modem for the internet. We also have a modem in all common areas for your convenience and connectivity needs. We’ve had no problem with our guests being unable to stay in contact with their friends & family, work, watch their favorite shows on their personal devices, or surf the net.

Absolutely. Each Eco-Suite has its own private AC. Each Villa has multiple individually controlled AC units to keep you cool in any space or room in the villa. In addition, our solar water heaters ensure everyone can take a hot shower when they so desire.

Linen, bath towels, and kitchen towels are provided. Beach towels are also provided. For monthly or long-term rentals, we will continue to provide these items.

For holiday rentals, both Eco-Suites and Villas provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. For monthly or long-term rentals, these items are not replaced after the initial allotment. Further hygiene/toiletry items must be purchased individually.

Neither our Eco-Suites nor our Villas provide cable.

In our Eco-Suites, we also do not provide a TV. Eco-Suites have an individual modem for Wi-fi to allow private (not shared) internet to stream your favorite shows on your device or laptop.

In our Villas, all TVs are smart TVs, and each villa has its own private modem to stream NetFlix or other online streaming platforms.

We are also very baby/toddler friendly and can provide a baby cot, highchair, pool floater, and baby bath on request at no additional charge. Don’t worry about bringing those bulky items with you.

Motorbike and vehicle parking are provided.

Eco-Suites are less than a 2-minute walk to our Café, Restaurant, and Bar. In-house guests are given discounted prices at our already very reasonable prices.

Villas are equipped with full-service kitchens. In addition to offering complimentary freshly ground coffee and tea daily, we can even make sure your favorite beverages are on hand before you arrive (additional charges depend on the beverages requested). We offer a private chef available to cook all pre-selected meals to perfection (extra charges apply). If you prefer cooking, we provide a full-service kitchen, complete with oven, stovetop, microwave, and baking/cooking pots/pans as well as small appliances such as a blender, toaster, and hand mixer. We also offer the option of taking you to a local grocery store for up to one hour at no charge upon arriving at the airport if you’d like to grab all your supplies for the week as our location is quietly nestled away from any big city clamor.

In addition, there is a local convenience store within about a 10-minute walk for local snacks and basic last-minute essentials. We are also lucky to have two outstanding in-house restaurants near us: the Silver Fern Beach Retreat and Sundancer Suites are within about a 15-minute walk (transport available). Local warungs (street food vendors/shops) are nearby, but we do advise using caution as the hygiene standards for food preparation may strongly differ than your own.

Our menu has both vegan and vegetarian options. If you have someone in your party that has specific food allergies or has special dietary restrictions such as Gluten Free or Keto, our private chef is amazing and can generally make a meal plan that accommodates anyone. However, this MUST be prearranged and prepaid for. Certain ingredients may need to be sourced from other islands well in advance.

Yes. We can arrange any of your meals to be served in a private gazebo on the beach with stunning views just down our mountain across the street (based on availability). We can also arrange a romantic, candle-lit dinner for two on the beach for special occasions. Additional charges apply.

Our private chef can make just about any meal to utter perfection. We can send you a list of options for group/individual meals or you can send specific requests or recipes you prefer. Be advised there are some ingredients completely unavailable in Lombok. We will do our best. Each week seems to be different, and we are happy to accommodate even the most specific requests. Pricing depends on portions, ingredient costs, and time required. All final pricing will be quoted and pre-paid prior to arrival.

Yes. For Eco-Suites holiday guests, we offer laundry service at $2 per kg. Villas come with their own washing machine and clothes drying rack. We do not use electric dryers throughout most of the year. We fully capitalize on our sunny weather.

General

We serve predominantly locally sourced food and offer vegan and vegetarian dining options. We employ a robust recycling regiment/policy and actively compost all organic waste.

We are a plastic free zone, providing each Eco-Suite and Villa with its own private water hot/cold dispensers to refill reusable bottles. Likewise, we do not use plastic cups, drinking straws, coffee stirrers or even allow single use coffee filters.

Even though our property has its own private well, we believe in water conservation. Our property has rainwater collection reservoirs to capture and reuse rainwater for watering our plants. All toilets are water-efficient, and we do only offer to wash linens and towels every 3 days.

We also support energy conservation. We use solar hot water heaters and only LED lighting. We also do not use any electric clothes dryers except for the height of rainy season (about 30 days) and only as needed.

Additionally, we are one of the primary founders and financial supporters of one of the only garbage collection and recycling programs in the province. We also adamantly support coral reef conservation and preservation efforts by sponsoring monthly investigative dives to protect the sensitive marine ecosystems around the islands in our area. In fact, 10% of our profits are reinvested into our local community for sustainability efforts. Help support us, so we can continue to support others!

We arrange snorkeling, traditional scuba diving, coral restoration & preservation diving, kayaking, paddle boarding, parasailing, surfing, deep sea fishing, boating, pearl farm touring, mangrove preserve touring, jungle trekking, and more. All of these incredible activities can be enjoyed directly from our cove or our immediate area except for surfing, which is nearby at Bangko Bangko (45 minutes from us and transfers can be provided). Payment for all these activities can be made directly to us as an additional to your bill for your convenience. No need to worry about paying various providers. Allow us to help customize your holiday or long-term stay experience in Lombok by creating unforgettable memories. Just let us know when you’re booking what you are keen to do, and we can provide full and accurate quotes immediately.

No. We are directly across the street from the beach up on our mountain. It is a 3-to-5-minute walk.

For Eco-Suite guests, our staff is happy to help you arrange anything necessary. Simply ask for help.

For Villa guests, a basic local mobile phone is provided for guests to use if needed. This prevents guests from having to purchase a local SIM card to communicate with us or local businesses/activities.

Official providers may or may not use taxi meters, but they have standard rates for transport to Sekotong. The unofficial providers are usually private individuals, and the rate will need to be negotiated. Be advised that Grab and GoCar (under Gojek app) are generally not allowed into the airport.
