The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok

We've stayed at some pretty special places over the years but the stay here was exceptional. Aside from the beautiful setting and lovely room, the staff were of the highest calibre - extremely warm and friendly while working seemingly effortlessly to make everything run like clockwork. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough - it is magical!

Oberoi is the place to stay in Lombok when on a holiday. Tanmay and his team take such good care of guests. We went looking for a relaxing stay, reached early. We were given a very warm welcome and we even got upgraded to a villa. Check-in & Check-out was smooth and quick. Food and drinks have a lot of choices and the team also are very attentive to individual dietary needs. The jetty onsite provide diving lessons, snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking. I also picked up macrame as a hobby. My son got interested in diving after the diving discovery lessons onsite. The spa offers great treatments. A big shout out to every staff member and a special mention to Tanmay for making our holiday special. We will definitely go back.

Our visit to Indonesia, in Ubud, Bali, at a highly rated hotel (yes B**ma 8, never again!!) was sadly abysmal. So I visited the Oberoi, Lombok with far lowered expectations, knowing that the property was old. Oberoi Lombok just blew us away from get go. They were consistently excellent at ALL touchpoints; from airport pick up to check in, dining, poolside service & the sports centre. Service was impeccable; warm without being intrusive. Yes, the property is old but the grounds are well maintained & the food is excellent. The chefs churned out gorgeous plates of nasi goreng, mie kuah, ikan lumpiah & we enjoyed the rjistafell for dinner. Cocktails were well proportioned & the bartender knows his stuff; mojitos, negronis & the old fashioneds were just classically prepared. You will NOT have a reason to leave the resort for anything. Like all wonderful innkeepers, Oberoi Lombok spoils her guests. On my last evening, we received personalised wood carvings from the Oberoi Lombok. I guess I am a loyal customer for life. See you guys soon & until then, keep well!

As a family of four, we've been fortunate to stay at many outstanding hotels around the world. We arrived at The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok with very high expectations, thanks to its exceptional reputation. Somehow, it still managed to exceed every single one of them. The true luxury here isn't just the beautiful setting or the spacious villas—it's the people. Every member of the team made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived until the day we left. Their kindness, warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were simply extraordinary. Every request, no matter how big or small, was met with a smile and a genuine desire to help. If we could rate the service alone, it would easily be 12/10. Travelling with children often comes with unexpected requests, but nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. The team was available around the clock, always anticipating our needs and making our stay effortless. That level of care is incredibly rare, even among the world's finest luxury resorts. We also loved the complimentary experiences. Snorkelling equipment was provided free of charge, allowing us to explore the beautiful reef just off the beach, and horse riding was another memorable highlight for our family. These thoughtful touches made the stay feel even more special. The dining experience deserves its own paragraph. Every meal was outstanding, whether we chose authentic Indonesian dishes or international cuisine. The variety was excellent, but even more impressive was the quality. The food consistently reached a level we would normally associate with a one Michelin-star restaurant. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner became something to look forward to. If there is one area where the resort could become even better, it would be through a careful modernization of some rooms and facilities. We sincerely hope they preserve the beautiful colonial Indonesian island character that gives the property so much charm, while introducing a few modern conveniences such as key-card room access and subtle technology upgrades that today's luxury travellers appreciate. The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok is one of those rare places where luxury feels authentic rather than staged. It's not the newest resort, nor the flashiest—but it delivers something far more valuable: heartfelt hospitality that you simply cannot manufacture. For our family, this was a perfect holiday and one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. A very well-deserved 10/10. We recommend The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok without the slightest hesitation and sincerely hope to return one day.

We have just arrived back from an amazing stay at the Oberoi Lombok. We first went there in Sept 1998 and returned nearly 28 years later. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and always with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately the location was nearly 1.45 hours from the airport but well worth the journey on arrival as the grounds of the hotel were stunning. Very good varied menu and excellent entertainment at night. The accommodation was lovely with fruit and plenty of bottled water. There was also a couple of biscuits by the bed every night—just little touches but they mean a lot. There was no rush for sunbeds as there were plenty and we were well cared for every day with little touches. Just a minor point, the website mentions a strict dress code but men were wearing shorts, t shirts, and short sleeved shirts in the evening. We have been lucky to stay at quite a few nice hotels over the years but we feel this hotel is the best and the service second to none.
