The Sira, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Lombok is framed by the shores of a luminous white-sand beach overlooking the majestic Mount Agung. Beyond the grounds, Tiu Kelep Waterfall, Bayan Old Mosque, and Sukarara Weaving Village await discovery and exploration. Set to make a bold and luxurious design statement on the island of Lombok, the hotel interiors were conceptualized by IU Design. The design studio ensured that the resort honored the island's rich heritage and strong sense of place while reimagining luxury with a modern touch. Throughout the property, local craftsmanship is showcased with handwoven tenun ikat fabrics from Lombok and intricately detailed solid teak lattice walls from Java.
Drawing inspiration from Lombok's natural beauty and cultural heritage, the architecture seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, creating a serene hideaway where guests can unwind amidst the soothing embrace of nature. To imbue a warm and inviting ambiance throughout, the hotel's design incorporates wooden materials, complemented by ocean breeze and natural light that gently illuminates each corner, enhancing the sense of comfort and tranquillity.
The resort features 46 beautifully appointed suites and 14 pool villas, showcasing modern luxury with a sophisticated blend of contemporary interiors. For a truly unique stay, the palatial 1,400 square meter Beach House is a spectacular villa with three bedrooms, that opens to a private, blue-tiled plunge pool, with direct beach access.

For epicureans, the resort offers an inviting exploration of diverse culinary specialties across its three restaurants and bar.

Sija, the outdoor eatery by the pool, offers Asian specialities, while Medsa showcases Mediterranean flavors with a selection of Italian, Greek, and other fine cuisines, crafted from Lombok's finest ingredients from both land and sea. Glassary, the bar, offers a decadent cocktail menu inspired by local spirits, providing a glamorous backdrop for a refined aperitif or an indulgent nightcap, paired with small bites. Each cocktail is thoughtfully crafted and served in vibrant glassware, reflecting the colors and light of the Spectrum, creating a captivating visual and sensory experience.
