"On Nov. 1, The Sira, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, will open on the island of Lombok, bringing a luxurious 60-key resort to the eponymous white-sand beach. The resort will have oceanview rooms alongside beachfront and garden villas with private pools and terraces. The Beach House, a three-bed, four-bath villa, has panoramic ocean views and access to a personal butler. The resort features a 230-foot palm tree-fringed outdoor pool, a spa with an outdoor treatment room, and the only vitality pool in Lombok. It includes four dining destinations: The Island's Table, Medsa, Sija, and Glassary. The resort aims to connect visitors to Lombok through activities like a nighttime food market on the beach featuring local vendors." - Laura Ratliff Laura Ratliff Laura is a New York-based writer, editor, and travel expert.
