CHECK-IN

Departing from Bali airport and landing after a brief but pleasant 30-minute flight has marked the initial step upon our exciting travel journey to Innit, Lombok. Upon arrival, a friendly driver will happily meet you at the airport and assist with your luggage, ready to take you on a scenic countryside drive, which will last about an hour, towards the welcoming long lane of Innit.

Upon our arrival at the hotel, we were warmly handed over to the friendly and welcoming staff. After savouring a bright purple welcoming drink, we eagerly took a comprehensive tour through the beautifully designed hotel grounds, allowing us to appreciate the charming architecture and inviting ambiance that surrounded us. The blending of outdoor and indoor spaces is so expertly executed that it made us feel very excited about our upcoming three-night stay. Each area seamlessly flows into the next, creating a harmonious atmosphere that captivates the senses and invites exploration.

 
 

SUITES

Inspired by traditional Lombok Lumbung homes, Innits offers a unique experience with its seven beach houses that harmoniously blend into the natural landscape. Constructed with local materials, each house is designed to embrace its surroundings. The sound of crashing waves enhances the atmosphere, creating a serene backdrop.

The layout maximises sea views and invites nature indoors, featuring a sand-filled ground floor that adds to the beach house retreat experience. Each unit includes two bedrooms, both equipped with private ensuite bathrooms, providing comfort and privacy. The central open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for communal gatherings, whether with friends or family. This thoughtful design encapsulates the essence of a relaxing beach getaway.

The rooms are thoughtfully designed, featuring a comprehensive shower necessity kit, mosquito spray, eco-friendly sunscreen, after-sun lotion, and plush robes. Each afternoon, the kitchen surprises guests with a fresh cake and a basket of local tropical fruits placed right on the countertop. A highlight of the stay is the turn-down service provided while you enjoy dinner, ensuring that your room is perfectly prepared for a restful night's sleep by the ocean.

 
 

EAT IN

At Innit Lombok they are all about connection. Just like ‘kampung’ (village) communal dining, you can join them at their six-metre dining table and make new friends over a feast of sharing plates and a sociable atmosphere or take place at an more intimate and romantic setting for two.

Anakampung embodies the essence of traditional living through its cuisine, celebrating the beauty of simplicity and freshness. This culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the use of local ingredients, emphasising a connection to the land and sea. Corn sourced from nearby fields serves as a staple, while the fish caught daily provides a taste of the local waters. Additionally, the lobsters harvested from their own farm in Ekas Bay showcase the commitment to sustainable practices and supporting the surrounding community.

The menu presents a captivating fusion of Western and Indonesian cuisine, showcasing a unique culinary experience. Under the guidance of Chef Matthew Angga, who boasts Michelin-starred expertise from around the globe, diners can explore an array of vibrant Indonesian dishes. We absolutely loved their several Lobster dishes! Each item on the menu is designed to be adaptable, allowing guests to customize their meals to suit their personal preferences. This blend of cultures and flavours ensures a delightful gastronomic adventure for every palate.

 
 

COMMUNAL AREAS

With Anakampung serving as a delightful restaurant, they also provide several cozy corners designed for ultimate relaxation, where you can enjoy playing a variety of board games or immersing yourself in a good book. Adjacent to the restaurant, you'll discover the beautiful pool that almost creates an infinity effect, offering stunning views of the enchanting Indian Ocean. Here, you can comfortably lay down on one of their plush day cushions, soaking up the sun, or take a refreshing dip and swim your daily laps to your heart's content.

 
 

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is a core principle guiding every decision at Innit. The lush flora of the island’s rolling hills harmonises with the rich native marine fauna, creating a vibrant ecosystem. Together with the local fishing community of Ekas Bay, this area offers a unique glimpse into a culture that thrives in harmony with its environment. Visitors to Innit find not just a retreat, but an opportunity to engage with and contribute to the preservation of this biodiversity.

The vitality of the local community is integral to Innit's mission. They have engaged with community members from the outset, respecting and honoring their rich culture and traditions. Their efforts to give back manifest through creating job opportunities, providing training programs, and imparting valuable skills to help foster local employment. In efforts to support education, Innit is actively working on initiatives such as the construction of a new school dedicated to teaching English. This will not only empower individuals but also strengthen the community as a whole.

The kitchen reflects their ethos by sourcing fresh produce exclusively from local farms. Each day, they buy fish and seafood from nearby fishermen who practice sustainable fishing methods. This approach is crucial for maintaining the local ecosystem, ensuring that fish populations remain viable and allowing local fishermen to sustain their livelihoods.

Innit reduces their architectural environmental footprint by using local materials and implementing upcycling techniques that enhance the natural landscape rather than detract from it. Through these practices, they continually strives to create a positive impact on both the environment and the community.

 
 

A FINAL NOTE

Our experience at Innit was nothing short of exceptional. The unique blend of activities available truly sparked our sense of adventure. From surfing the waves to enjoying boat trips and exploring local farms, every moment was well spent. The culinary offerings exceeded our expectations, showcasing a range of flavours that reflect the locale. The opportunity to unwind in such a serene environment, complemented by attentive and friendly staff, made our stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to the soothing sounds of the ocean added a special touch to our mornings.

It’s safe to say that we are eagerly looking forward to returning next year to relive these remarkable experiences.
