The resort follows the natural landscapes down to the bright white sands, complete with direct beach access. And what a treat that is. It&#8217;s one of the most pristine beaches in all of Lombok. It&#8217;s incredibly long and vast, with the softest sand and beginner-friendly waves for surfing.<\/p>\n<p>To top it off, Selong Belanak Beach is still blissfully untouched by mass tourism. You won&#8217;t find any pumping beach clubs or booming restaurants \u2013 just a string of local <em>warungs<\/em> and sunbeds against a tropical backdrop. And yes, all of this natural beauty was mere footsteps from my hillside villa.<\/p>\n<p>I stayed in one of the resort\u2019s Scenic Villas \u2013 Villa Kenanga \u2013 and it was honestly hard to leave. It was a wooden cabin-style villa with a cosy bedroom. My favourite nook? The sunlit patio where I soaked in the ocean views each morning. It felt rustic yet refined \u2013 an authentic taste of Lombok life, mixed with a boutique stay experience.<\/p>\n<p>After roaming around the resort, I also found the octagon-shaped Villa Kokoh (it&#8217;s perfect for couples) with an open-plan living space, kitchen and a lovely veranda. Or, if you&#8217;re a family travelling with teens, there&#8217;s Villa Kesambi with two breathtaking bedrooms, and its own private pool.<\/p>\n<h3>All the perks of a full-service resort<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189876\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-189876 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/laut-biru-bar-and-restaurant-at-sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"The food and sunset ambiance at Laut Biru Bar &amp; Restaurant on Selong Belanak Beach in Lombok\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/laut-biru-bar-and-restaurant-at-sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/laut-biru-bar-and-restaurant-at-sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/laut-biru-bar-and-restaurant-at-sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Follow through your direct beach access at Sempiak Seaside, and you&#8217;ll find Selong Belanak&#8217;s sands, a beachfront restaurant and a guest-only beach club!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If I\u2019m being completely honest, I was initially drawn to <a href=\"https:\/\/sempiakseasideresort.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sempiak Seaside Resort<\/a> for its direct access to Selong Belanak Beach (though I soon realised there are so many more reasons to love it!). I don&#8217;t know of any other hillside hotels that also have the beach just footsteps away. So naturally, whenever I dragged myself away from my villa, I hit the seaside.<\/p>\n<p>Selong Belanak is one of the prettiest beaches in Indonesia. It\u2019s ideal for beginner surfers and long walks at low tide. But that wasn\u2019t all I found on my little stroll. Sempiak Seaside has a guest-only beach club, where I spent a lazy afternoon on a bean bag with a cocktail in hand. It&#8217;s not like other each clubs though \u2013 this one is mellow and chilled out, perfect for all-day lounging.<\/p>\n<p>It sits right next to their signature dining spot, Laut Biru Bar &amp; Restaurant, which also sits right on the beach, shaded by towering trees. This restaurant is open to both in-house and non-staying guests, and it&#8217;s so good, people drive all the way from Kuta to eat here. I tried their grilled snapper with coconut rice and <em>sambal matah<\/em>, and yes, it was as good as the ocean views.<\/p>\n<p>A stay here wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a spa sesh, so I got the most soothing massage at the on-site spa (bliss!). It&#8217;s just footsteps from the resort&#8217;s own art gallery, and a boutique stocked with locally made crafts. There really is everything you need here, without ever needing to leave the resort.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainability and community connection<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189881\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-189881 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-aerial-view-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Sempiak Seaside Resort in Lombok, Indonesia\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-aerial-view-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-aerial-view-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/sempiak-seaside-resort-in-lombok-indonesia-selong-belanak-beach-aerial-view.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sempiak Seaside Resort applies the best practices to support Lombok&#8217;s community and environment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most impressive things about Sempiak Seaside Resort is its genuine commitment to sustainability and the local community.

I\u2019m Louise \u2013 editor of Honeycombers Bali \u2013 and I've lived in Bali full-time for the last 13 years. My passion for Indonesia runs deep: I\u2019ve explored 50+ islands across the archipelago, and I\u2019ve personally reviewed more than 500 hotels, restaurants, bars, and spas throughout Bali. Every recommendation I share comes from real experience, shaped by years of living, working, and travelling here. Whether you\u2019re chasing hidden beaches, the hottest new restaurants, or authentic cultural sites, you\u2019re getting trusted advice from someone who truly knows and loves Bali.","knowsAbout":["Bali travel","food","luxury hotels","Indonesian culture"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Indonesian"],"jobTitle":"Editor & Director","url":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/author\/louise\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189873"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/103394"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189873"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":197710,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189873\/revisions\/197710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
