Luana Bowls Lombok occupies a spot in the centre of Selong Belanak and has become a dependable stop for visitors looking for something lighter and more health-focused than the rice and noodle staples that dominate the village's warung scene. As a café in the smoothie-bowl mould, it brings a style of eating more common in Bali's Canggu or Seminyak to a part of Lombok that is still finding its feet as a tourist destination.
The food
The kitchen turns out vibrant vegan bowls, poke-style salads, and the kind of colourful, produce-led plates that photograph well but also genuinely satisfy after a morning in the water. Smoothies — blended from tropical fruit — are the natural companion to the bowl menu. The café sits in the mid-range price band for Selong Belanak, which means it is still reasonable by any international standard. It is open most days from 08:00 to 22:00, closing earlier on Wednesdays at 16:00, so it covers breakfast, brunch, lunch and a light dinner on the majority of the week.
The setting
Central Selong Belanak is walkable from most of the guesthouses and surf camps that line the bay road, meaning Luana Bowls is easy to reach without a scooter. The village sits at the midpoint of a broad, gently curving bay — the same bay that makes Selong Belanak one of the most popular beginner-surf destinations on Lombok's south coast. After a surf lesson on the long white-sand beach, the café is a natural next stop.
Who it suits
Luana Bowls is well suited to plant-based eaters, health-conscious travellers, and anyone craving a break from fried rice — though the relaxed pace of the place means it works just as well as a slow morning coffee spot.
