Noon; check-in is 3pm, but both are flexible for an extra charge, subject to availability.

In rooms: TV, speaker, ceiling fans, Breville coffee machine, tea-making kit, minibar, free glass-bottled water and organic bath products.

Our favourite rooms

Glam villa living waits behind every supersized wooden door here, but we’re queuing up to stay at Villa Solah, where a generously sized shared pool and lounge area unites two expansive wings. There’s an inviting corner infinity pool in the main area and a soothing master bedroom with an ocean-backdropped, open-air bath tub. But keep climbing for this hill villa’s high point: the additional top-of-the-world pool and terrace, where glorious views await.

Spa

There’s no spa, but there are two treatment rooms, or you can request an in-villa massage.

Packing tips

Trainers for the tennis court, flip flops for the beach.

Pet‐friendly

All of the villas are pooch friendly. See more pet-friendly hotels in Lombok.

Children

Welcome; there isn’t a crèche or kids’ club, but you can book a nanny service in advance for an additional charge (around IDR150,000 to IDR200,000 an hour). Children can also join in on the activities at the sport centre, including mini football.

Sustainability efforts

Since its start, the Tampah Hills team has planted over 75,000 trees as part of a reforesting initiative. LED lighting is used throughout the estate, and villas have been designed to maximise natural light and encourage air flow, reducing the need for lighting and air-conditioning. Rain water is collected in tanks and reused, and waste water is used to top up the surrounding gardens. All bath products are provided in refillable containers and drinking water comes in glass bottles. The hotel also has programmes in place to support surrounding communities: they built the local Tampah school and 85% of the staff employed here are local residents.

Address
Tampah Hills
Mekar Sari Praya Barat
Central Lombok Regency
83572
Indonesia

Tampah Hills sits on the green slopes overlooking Lombok island’s south coast, just east of Bali, in Indonesia.

Planes

Lombok International Airport is a 45-minute drive away, and has direct connections from Bali, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. You can book transfers through the hotel, with prices starting at IDR900,000 for up to four guests, and from IDR1,500,000 for up to 10 guests.

Automobiles

Lombok is fairly spread out, so if you’re planning on exploring further afield you might want to pick up a set of wheels from one of the island’s many rental spots. Each villa has its own private car park.

Other

You can also make an entrance at Tampah Hills via seaplane or helicopter.

Worth getting out of bed for

Tampah Hills has plenty of natural wonders on its grounds to explore, from tropical gardens to the kitchen farm. You can also book a personal-training session, yoga class or surfing lesson. Staff can help organise a range of excursions, including climbing the steep trails of Mount Rinjani National Park, diving at Tanjung Ringgit, a waterfall trek, or an action-packed day of snorkelling, fishing or paragliding. Get in the kitchen to hone your Indonesian culinary skills on a cookery course.

Local restaurants

Around a 20-minute drive away in the beach town of Kuta, try crab buns, grilled octopus or seafood curry washed down with a Jungle Daiquiri or pale ale at popular poolside diner, Knalpot Tropical Bistro. Kenza is another favourite spot, opening early for breakfasts and serving dishes such as sea bream carpaccio and grilled barramundi at dinner time.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this hillside hideaway in Indonesia and unpacked their locally made sarongs and wicker bags, a full account of their swish villa break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Tampah Hills in Lombok…

An unspoiled villa resort, Tampah Hills comes with the service and amenities of a five-star hotel, but all the privacy of a secluded mountaintop retreat. Buggies driven by friendly staff are on hand to whisk you around this sprawling estate, where  farmland, tropical gardens and rice paddies (tampah is the name of a tool used for processing rice) make for nature-immersed days. There’s also a private guest beach, admired from each high-end abode, for those in search of the island’s signature sands. And when it comes to lodgings, chic confections of glass, wood and stone are designed to fit into the lush hillsides and to open out and let tropical breezes filter through. Add in a full butler service, private chef, scenic outdoor tubs or palm-flanked infinity pools, and you really will be on top of the world.
