Set on the white sand beach of Sire, on the northwest coast of Lombok, the Tugu’s eclectic artefacts and unique charm set it apart from many of the hotels in the area. The 39 spacious Villas, Suites and Bungalows are dotted throughout tropical gardens and shaded walkways, though here the colourful art is combined with plush beds, goose down pillows and 400 thread count linens.
