Selong Selo Resort and Residences

View: 4.5/5 Villa size: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Maintenance: 2/5 This villa is as big as it looks on their website with amazing view. However, it is quite rundown and needs a refresh, especially the toilet.  The toilet bowl has stains and the overall bathing area are mouldy. I understand we’re in the middle of nature but I would expect better maintenance. Plus the water pressure was low. Maybe it was the rainy season (it rains every evening/overnight), the area is filled with millipedes everywhere, the worst part is that they are in the villa as the doors/sliding doors have gaps. We’re fine if the insects stay outdoors but the millipedes enter our villa every single time and they appear at every creak of the villa. It was tiring trying to keep them out of the villa.  The redeeming factor for the villa is really the view, the Indonesian cuisine at Aura and their prompt service. The view is as amazing as you see on their website, if not more. And they have exceptional food at their restaurant and the service was superb. And yes, there are monkeys in the morning and evenings. The staffs will inform you upon check-in, to lock the doors and avoid eye contact.

We had the most amazing time at Selong Selo. All of the staff were so kind, lovely and friendly. The staff really made our experience wonderful and we felt so welcome. Honestly the most beautiful friendly people! Thank you all for being so lovely Breakfasts were exceptional. So many choices and prepared with attention and care. Same also with menu items for main meals (which we often chose to have in villa). The chef and service staff are very talented and attentive. The spa was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for providing us relaxing professional treatments. Our 2 bedroom villa was very clean and had the most stunning views over Selong Belanak beach. The beds were comfortable, perfect air conditioning, an amazing private pool - we did not want to leave! The cleaning team were excellent and went way above expectation. We rented a scooter for our time there and were able to experience the surrounding hills and beaches which are beautiful. Overall, our 7 night stay at Selong Selo was magical and we can't wait to return. Miss it already!

We had the most amazing stay at Selong Selo Resort. Unbeatable views from the villa! The resort got all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay with a fairly well equipped gym. Super friendly staff as well! We stayed for 48 nights and will definitely come back!

Selong Selo is truly a magical place. As soon as we arrived we instantly relaxed. From the breathtaking surroundings to the impeccable service, every aspect of our stay was unforgettable. Our villa was huge and offered amazing views, making it the perfect place to relax and soak in the natural beauty. The food was exceptional, every meal crafted to perfection, adding to the overall luxurious experience. A very special mention to Mr. Janu, who treated us like old friends. Mr Janu and his wonderful team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Their warmth and genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made our time here truly special.

The best week ever. Incredibly spacious and luxurious villas, a short ride from the epic surf beaches of Lombok. The food, service and overall hospitality was outstanding. The staff were all highly conversant in English, engaging and warm with the kids. Loads for kids to do. My daughter even had a special gluten free menu made for her. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back!!

Selong Selo is a very special place. This is our 3rd trip there and each time just gets better. The view is unbeatable. The villas are gorgeous, well maintained and with everything you need. The service is fantastic, the staff speak great English too, which is a bonus. I recommend having the private BBQ on your villa balcony…the seafood and sauces and yummy! In fact all the food is cooked to a great standard, the French toast at breakfast is another one not to miss. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, where you have the option of exploring if you want or being fully taken care of from in villa massages to dining, this is the place! I miss it already!
