Villa Karingal

What a beautiful place to stay. The view, the pool, the staff, the owner Gill - couldn’t fault the place - although I would recommend taking a car or bike up the hill, it’s a killer 😆 We had a lovely five night stay in the sea view room, culiminating with a beautiful snorkelling trip down to Gili Sudak - highly recommend. The staff, particularly Nur (such a lovely lady) were friendly and attentive and looked after us so well. Oh, and the cats - such friendly beauties ❤️ Thanks for the stay Gill - we’ll definitely be back…for a surf trip next time x

Die Villa liegt auf einem Hügel bei Senggigi mit unglaublich schönem Blick aufs Meer (perfekt für den Sonnenuntergang), einem tollen Pool und guter Zimmerausstattung inkl sehr bequemen Bett. Aber das allerbeste an einem Aufenthalt dort sind Gill und ihr Team, die unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit sind und so den Urlaub zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis machen. Egal ob man einfach nur einen Tag lang am Pool chillen möchte oder Ausflüge unternehmen. Der Abschied fällt schwer, wir wären am liebsten dort geblieben.

Everything was great at this villa.. all this in the lovely peaceful surroundings of beautiful garden with a wonderful view to the ocean. villa is full of great art, just a charming place. amazing owner and staff that is friendly and make me feel welcome. I will definitely stay there when I come back!

Once in a while - not very often - the traveller has the good fortune to book into extraordinary accommodation. Villa Karingal is one such place. It's hard to know where to begin in explaining why this property is so amazing - but I'll give it a shot! Firstly, the location. Perched high on a hill, cloaked in lush tropical gardens, overlooking the stunning Sengiggi coastline, the location is breathtaking. There's something magical about the way the villa seems to float above its surroundings. It's quiet, serene and relaxed yet just a stone's throw from the beaches, restaurants, bars and other attractions of the Sengiggi area. Wherever you want to go is just minutes (and only a few dollars) away by taxi or rideshare. The villas themselves are gorgeous: clean, comfortable, well-designed, quiet and with all the amenities you'd want (aircon, rain shower, satellite TV, minibar, etc.) for a reasonable price. The sparkling swimming pool deserves special mention. You'd be hard-pressed finding a more spectacular pool in any hotel in Lombok - or, anywhere, for that matter. Nur's breakfasts are delicious, with a range of Western and Indonesian meals, Lombok coffee, tropical fruits and freshly-made juices. The lovely and multi-talented Nur is also a trained masseur who gives wonderful in-house massages! Gill, the hospitable and worldly owner of Villa Karingal, is the perfect host and an absolute delight. She strikes the perfect balance between friendliness and privacy, steering clear when you want space yet somehow appearing if you need something, have a question or just feel like a bit of a chat. Any visitor to Villa Karingal would be well advised to spend some time with Gill, whose knowledge of Lombok and Indonesia is immense. She can also arrange tours for you and even took us on one herself, taking my partner and I on a day trip to the Gili Sudak in southern Lombok's 'secret Gilis', where we had lunch, swam, snorkelled and got up close and personal with countless colourful reef fish and coral. In the end, despite Villa Karingal's many positive aspects, it's the people who are its greatest asset, and I have nothing but the highest praise for Gill, Nur, Agus and Jae. Each and every one of you are lovely, welcoming people who know how to make a guest feel right at home. Thank you so much for the loveliest six nights on Lombok. We are already planning our return!

Beautiful accommodation on hill with wonderful sea views from the premises. Very peaceful and quiet offering a different setting to the busy beach vibe. Lovely staff and caring owner. Very interesting tours offered.

Very impressive Villa here in Lombok with such a beautiful setting and incredible sea views. Located up the hill which we preferred as very peaceful being so far away from the road. Combined with the clean modern rooms and the lovely pool you would do well to find better here in Lombok. Would 100% be back again highly recommend. Hospitality was fantastic from the work staff to the host very welcoming people.
