Puri Mas Boutique Resort & Spa
Style Old-school Indonesian rusticity
Setting Balmy beach or valley gardens
Owned by a champion ballroom dancer and animal lover (look out for cockatoos, dogs, monkeys and porcupines outside the master villa), Puri Mas Boutique Resort & Spa's twin resorts are peaceful escapes into traditional Indonesian living. The two sites – one chilling in the jungle, one basking on the beach – are both set in meticulously manicured gardens and contain a boutique array of traditional thatched suites and villas, all filled with ornate features, Lombok antiques and intricate carvings.

Food and drink at Puri Mas Boutique Resort & Spa
- Hotel restaurant The sea-side Sunset Beach Restaurant delivers a diversity of dishes from Indonesia, Asia and the Western world. Fresh seafood is a specialty, and you’d be foolish to miss the traditional Dutch-colonial risttafel, a mammoth tapas-style platter.
- Dress code Light, bright linens and floaty silks.
- Top table You can’t beat dining alfresco on the beach for romance, but the berugak open-air pavilions set across from the main dining area come a close second.
- Last orders Sunset Beach closes at 11pm, but snacks can be provided if you’re arriving at Puri Mas later.
- Room service Restaurant meals and snacks can be enjoyed in your room between 7am and 11pm.

In the know
Our favourite rooms
We love the uninterrupted ocean views from Room 2’s cushion-lined outdoor area, as well as the Hemingway-esque writing desk on Room 3’s porch, from where you can admire both crash waves and luxuriant greenery. More adventurous Smiths should try the two-floor Lumbung Sasak house in the village, which has a bathroom and sitting room on the ground floor and bedroom upstairs – it was originally used for drying rice.
Packing tips
Bring your dancing shoes: Puris Mas’ owner, Marcel de Rijk is a former ballroom dancing world champion, and delights in giving personal lessons to resort guests.
Also
The outdoor showers are Balinese in style, so be prepared for the overhead-water-jug-with-removable-cork type of ablution.
