Everywhere To Eat, Stay And Play In Lombok In 2026

4th Jun 2026

Lombok’s having a moment and it’s easy to see why. Think beachside lunches and buzzing cafes, low‑key dinners that celebrate local produce, and a general vibe that’s all about slowing down.

Spend mornings snorkelling bright reefs, afternoons cycling through sleepy villages or trekking the highlands, and evenings lounging at a beach club over and a cold beer. You can also access the Gili Islands directly via a variety of speedboats and ferries…so If you want a relaxed trip where you eat well, sleep easy and do less, Lombok’s your spot.  

Here's the best restaurants, hotels, beach clubs and things to do in Lombok in 2026.

Milk is a Lombok staple and hands-down the best coffee in town with a bright all-day menu to match. This lively little spot channels Moroccan charm with deep maroon tones and lush greenery, feeling fresh and relaxed—perfect for a surf‑fuel breakfast or a slow laptop morning with a flat white. It’s the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to, whether you pop in for a quick caffeine fix before the waves or linger over their house-made treats (think beef pies and double-choc brownies) and a good book.

Codium

Perched on the shoreline, Codium is an elevated beachside restaurant where refined dining meets local produce. With sand‑level seating and sweeping ocean views, it’s designed for lingering—sunset cocktails, long lunches and intimate dinners. The menu champions Lombok’s bounty: line‑caught seafood, hand‑harvested seaweed and seasonal vegetables, all treated with Mediterranean restraint and a focus on pure flavour. Most dishes are cooked over charcoal, complemented by a carefully curated wine list, one of the best in town and expertly crafted cocktails.

Smack ban right on Selong Belanak’s pristine sand, this is beachside dining done without the fuss. Think a lively bar, indoor and outdoor seating, a sun-soaked beachfront deck, and yes, you can eat with your feet in the sand. Come for the views, stay for the laid‑back tropical vibe and incredible sunset. Local tip: don’t be surprised if you spot water buffalos ambling along the shore,  it’s not a tourist stunt but part of local farm life, usually crossing the beach in the cooler hours of morning and just before sunset.
