Desa Dunia Beda Resort

Gili Trawangan Lombok

Desa Dunia Beda, sheltered within a whispering coconut grove on the island of Gili Trawangan, near Lombok, is reminiscent of a small Javanese village. The name reflects the concept, which was to create a different world - one in keeping with tradition, in tune with nature, and with accomodation that is simple yet exotic.

The environmentally friendly wooden "Joglo" houses were deigned and built in Yogyakarta, in Java, and then transported by boat to Gili Trawangan to be reconstructed on site. Each Joglo is lovingly furnished with hand-carved antique tables, screens, cupboards, ornate mirrors and primitive artefacts. Open-weave lamps cast intricate patterns over everything. Some of the villas boast magnificent four-poster beds, built into the beams within the central funnel of the roof. A set of antique double doors leads into a sunny bathroom at the back, offering total open-air privacy, partially sheltered by a roof.

The resort merges nature with culture. An intriguing gateway marks the entrance, with gnarled tree branches forming a rustic pergola. Funky lanterns following the same theme weave through the garden. The stunning swimming pool is the largest on the island and lined with smooth slate from India; its infinity edge bordered by wooden decks that create contemporary clean lines in the otherwise ethnic, but immaculate, surroundings.

Situated a twenty-minute Cidomo ride away from the hubbub and nightlife of the island; activities include snorkelling and scuba diving on the nearby reef, as well as horse-riding, fishing, cycling and swimming. Alternatively, you can simply chill out and do nothing beside the pool or in the little beach pavilion, known as the ‘bale pantai’, and enjoy the personal service offered by Desa Dunia Beda’s caring staff.

A restaurant with a variety of taste carefully selected from Indonesian, Italian, French, International cuisine and fresh seafood.
