The Hotel Tugu Lombok provides a luxury vacation that’s meant to remind guests of the Lombok of yesteryear. While grounds are well-maintained, they’re not overly manicured, and raw building materials create an authentic experience. Anhar Setjadibrata, who founded the hotel, has amassed an enormous collection of Indonesia artwork. "Tugu" translates to “monument,” and the property is packed with antiques and artwork that pay tribute to the different cultures that were on Lombok before Dutch colonization. Views of the Mount Rinjani can be seen from the beach, where long-tail boats are anchored offshore, casting beautiful silhouettes against the skies at sunset. The large property features Dutch colonial-era buildings, including a reception area with intricate carved designs and tapestries. Staff members greet guests by name, creating an intimate environment, and there's free afternoon tea. The romantic and mystical setting means the hotel gets plenty of destination weddings, though families with children also appreciate the peaceful atmosphere. #createwithtrip #staycation
