Gili Asahan Pearl Beach

Charming and delightful small hotel on a quaint island, ideal for unwinding and rejuvenating. Abundant nature to appreciate (geckos, a small coral reef, an abandoned pearl farm encircled by palms, the ocean, and the surrounding jungle) with minimal distractions. Delicious local cuisine, amiable and accommodating staff (special thanks to Nisa, Didi, and Dhayat), and spotless rooms (mine featured a frangipani tree in the bathroom). While the bay is not immune to Indonesia's ocean waste issue, the property's beaches were pristine and well-maintained, and the hotel staff makes a commendable effort to minimize plastic usage.

What have you done to Pearl Resort?! This used to be a charming spot for breakfast and coffee, nestled in a rustic garden of wildflowers with a traditional low, grass-roofed restaurant. The kitchens were discreetly tucked away. The highlight was a raised platform built around a large tree, right at the water's edge (see attached picture). It was the ideal, serene location to watch the sunrise over breakfast. Now, they've shut down this entire area and constructed an unattractive, modern restaurant made of cement and tiles. The seating arrangement forces you to sit in a long, straight line on concrete benches, and fresh fruit drinks are now prepared at the bar, making you endure the loud noise of the juicing machine echoing around this high-ceilinged monstrosity. It's a surefire way to ruin the ambiance. I can only assume the owners believe this is what holidaymakers want, but what made Pearl so appealing was its unpretentious, natural beauty. They've destroyed this and are turning Pearl into just another generic holiday resort, stripping away its soul in the process. I cannot fathom the reasoning behind this; it's truly sad to witness.

Solopgangen i Lombok er den bedste, jeg har set i 7 uger. Værelserne er store og personalet er dejligt. Snorkling og dykning lige uden for lokalet er fantastisk. Jeg nød at spise morgenmad med udsigt over stranden. Hundene og kattene på ejendommen var også meget søde.

Denne strand er den ideelle destination for dem, der søger ro, naturlig skønhed og en række aktiviteter væk fra folkemængderne. Den fredelige og indbydende atmosfære gør det til et perfekt sted at slappe af og nyde den fantastiske udsigt. Restauranten ved vandet byder på lækker mad og drikkevarer, mens værelserne giver et beroligende tilflugtssted. Gæsterne kan også nyde en foryngende massage og drage fordel af hængekøjerne, gyngerne og andre afslappende steder. Det venlige og professionelle personale gør oplevelsen endnu mere behagelig.

Vi havde en fantastisk tid på Pearl Beach på Gili Asahan. Jeg anbefaler det stærkt til en afslappende ferie. Vores villa var bekvemt placeret lige ved det bedste snorkelsted på øen. Personalet var utroligt venligt og altid villig til at hjælpe. Jeg foreslår også at prøve restauranten - mad af god kvalitet til rimelige priser.
