Makarma Resort Lombok

We had a wonderful stay at Marakma Resort, a lovely family-run hotel in a peaceful area – perfect if you’re looking to truly relax. The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of space and a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is excellent, with affordable prices, and we enjoyed dinner there every night. It’s also very convenient that the beach is just a 10-minute walk away. The hotel offers a great swimming pool, as well as a special place for yoga, which adds to the relaxing vibe. A highlight for us was that they let our kids try playing the traditional Sasak instruments – such a unique experience. You can also take a walk nearby and spot monkeys, which was a fun surprise. Overall Marakma Resort is a charming and welcoming place with lots of character, and we’d definitely recommend it.

I think it used to be a resort before but it felt more like a homestay. They just have construction going on and building nice, new little villas. They also got hammocks in front of every little villa for relaxing, reading a book, having a beer or cocktail ☺️ The owner are super nice and call you by name - what feels familiar & welcoming.

We loved our stay at Makarma. After travelling for a few months, this is one of the few places that actually exceeds the photos and expectations. The staff is extremely friendly and always helpful. A very nice property and definitely worth the affordable price! Only this is that it’s a couple mins from Senggigi area but there are scooters for rent and the family dropped us off in the town free of charge!

I liked everything! The location is ideal for those demanding elbow room and a peaceful setting which is hard to come by in the built up areas where most accommodation is located. It is also well away from that dreadfully noisy main road. It is still just 5 minutes walk down to a black sand beach down a narrow alleyway. They offer a hitch on a bike to Sengiggi for free. It's about 3km away. The property covers thousands of square meters with grass and trees. Chickens wander the park and there are 4 small sleepy dogs. The pool is delightful as is the dining area overlooking it. I had a cheap room but it was still spacious and bright with an open bathroom and air-conditioning. I booked 3 nights and stayed a week.

We arrived and got directly greeted as family ❤️. Everyone is super friendly and we absolutly enjoyed to stay with them. Eka helped us with some tours, we laughed and sit with everyone together, every evening. The rooms are very beautiful, the food is good, everyone is very friendly and it was a super experience! Highly recommended
