Luana Lombok is a small boutique hotel in Selong Belanak that opened in March 2024, built around a surf-oriented ethos and an in-house vegan restaurant. With just five rooms, it operates at an intimate scale that sets it apart from the larger villa complexes and resort properties along the bay. Reception is available around the clock.
A surf-focused stay
The hotel's surf orientation reflects the setting: Selong Belanak's beach break is one of the most beginner-friendly waves on the island, breaking over sand in a sheltered bay that tends to produce long, consistent rides rather than heavy, punishing surf. For guests with more experience, the reef breaks at Serangan and Mawi are within scooter range along the south coast road. The property's focus on surf culture — rather than pure resort relaxation — gives it a character suited to travellers who are here primarily to get in the water.
The vegan restaurant
A dedicated vegan kitchen is still relatively uncommon in South Lombok's smaller villages, and its inclusion at Luana Lombok makes the property genuinely distinctive. Plant-based dining options on this stretch of the coast are limited, so for vegan or plant-curious travellers, the restaurant's presence is a meaningful practical consideration rather than simply a branding point.
Setting and access
Selong Belanak is undeveloped by Balinese or northern Lombok standards — the bay retains a quiet, rural character with white sand, clear water, and a growing but still modest cluster of accommodation and eateries. Luana Lombok's small size fits naturally into this environment. Full details on rooms and current rates are available at luanalombok.com.
Luana Lombok suits surfers, vegan and health-conscious travellers, and anyone seeking a boutique, small-scale stay in Selong Belanak that goes beyond the standard villa-and-pool formula.
