Cocotinos Resort and Villas Sekotong Bay Southwest Lombok Indonesia
Welcome to Cocotinos Sekotong, Lombok!
Cocotinos Sekotong LombokCocotinos Sekotong is located at Sekotong Bay, on the south-west side of Lombok Island. Guests arrive at the Seleparang Airport in Mataram and a 1-hour drive will bring them through busy but well-swept towns, lush green rice fields and verdant forests; the final part of the journey follows a winding coastline from the picturesque Lembar Harbour to a secluded beach at Tanjung Empet.
We have chosen this site because of its accessibility – the roads are paved and in good condition all the way from the airport – availability of electrical power and good telecommunication links. Furthermore the resort site faces three coconut-fringed white-sand islands, namely, Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong and Gili Sudak. Fronting the resort is over 300 metres of white sand beach, part of which is within a private cove. While the northern Gilis (Trawangan, M eno and Air) are well known and developed, the 3 islands in the south-west are still unspoilt and idyllic tropical islands. Gili Nanggu which faces the resort directly is already reputed as one of the best snorkelling islands in the world by Silkwind magazine. Apart from the 3 Islands directly facing the resort, there are 10 other islands within an easy boat ride.
Cocotinos Sekotong is designed along similar principles to our first Cocotinos resort in Manado; but it will be grander and more luxurious while still maintaining that cosy and personalised atmosphere, which is now the signature of our Cocotinos brand. While our Manado resort is primarily focused on scuba diving (Manado being known by now as a diving haven), Cocotinos Sekotong will provide diving and much more. The white-sand beaches and the turquoise waters facing the resort and surrounding the nearby islands make the location ideal for romantic getaways and various kinds of water sports. Presently, there is only one dive operator in the Sekotong area and no other any major resort. Cocotinos Sekotong will be the first of its kind to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy and explore this beautiful and enchanting part of Lombok in luxury. South Lombok is also well known as an exciting world class surfing destination.
A new international Airport is currently being constructed at Praya in the centre of Lombok island and is scheduled to open in late 2010. In conjunction with the new international airport, a new ring road system will connect the new airport to Sekotong and Senggigi.

Our Location
Cocotinos SekotongCocotinos-Sekotong is located in a secluded part of Sekotong Bay within South-West Lombok, on the promontory of Tanjung Empet, an hour’s drive from either the present airport at Selaparang in Mataram or the new international airport at Praya.
The coastal road swings out to the sea on the right, a small hill flanks the left and rolling hills guard the back of the resort, thereby creating a private sanctuary that prevents other developments from encroaching in the future. As such, the resort’s location will remain exclusive for years to come.
Tanjung Empet in the local Sasak language means a “Blocked Promontory”. Local geological records suggest that the resort and the small hill on the left was at one time separated from the mainland but over time the small stretch of water was filled in by volcanic dust, and other alluvial deposits, forming the land where the resort now stands. Part of the promontory is still separated from the land in the form of an exquisite little island called Gili Bererean which guests can explore during low tide. Around the island, shimmering stones called batu surat, can be found.
Sekotong Bay as a whole, is already a sheltered area, but the promontory of Tanjung Empet further protects the resort, such that even under high wind conditions, the resort’s beach is not buffeted by high waves, making it suitable for swimmers throughout the year. Cross-shore winds also render the beach ideal for windsurfing and kiting, providing launching conditions are ideal, especially when the tides are high.
Bangko-Bangko Desert PointThe view over the Sekotong Bay is simply breathtaking, especially when hiking atop the rolling hills which run back from the coastal road, a well-paved road that winds its way from the sheltered harbour at Lembar along a rugged coastline to the exotic fishing village of Bangko Bangko. Beyond Bangko Bangko, on the windward side of a hilly range is the world famous surfing destination of “Desert Point”, which boasts a sensational “tube” to challenge the experienced surfer.
South West Lombok, is characterised by a short wet season from Dec to March and a distinct dry season from April to November. Some years it hardly rains at all from June till October. The dry weather means that the surroundings can look somewhat windblown and brown during the North-European summer months but on the other hand, it has the advantage of promising blue skies for holiday makers who are seeking the sun and the sea. Conditions for boating, snorkeling and diving are also excellent during the dry season with clear water and high visibility.
Kampong Batu Leong SekotongThe nearest village from the resort is Pandanan, about one kilometer away. Here you can still find a simple and quiet way of life, with villagers tending to rice fields, vegetable gardens, and livestock. On the east of the resort is Tawun, the main town of West Sekotong, where locals come to get their supplies at the weekly market and barter produce. Tawun is also the place where local boats provide transfers to the nearby islands. There is also the nearby village of Batu Leong, the inhabitants of which are descended from Balinese who migrated from Nusa Penida and Karangasem in Bali. These Balinese anscestors later married into the local population, creating a unique mixed Balinese-Lombok culture.
Cocotinos-Sekotong is the first luxury resort to open in Sekotong Bay. The resort offers ethnic tours featuring the local culture as well as soft adventures, such as hiking and biking in the interest of travellers who wish to explore this beautiful location.

Kite Surfing off SekotongKite Wind Surfing
Wind & Kite Surfing
Cocotinos’ geographical location gives us a shoreline facing the north-east which will make any wind or kite surfer very pleased. In the months of May to October, south west winds averaging up to 7 knots crosses with a slight diagonal direction into our shoreline. During the months of November to April, the wind direction changes to orginate from the west with an average speed of 8 knots. Even with strong winds, our shoreline’s unique position does not allow big waves to build and at most, small white capped waves.

Scale Indonesia’s second highest volcano and bear witness to its stunning views. Not for the faint hearted, the climb to 3,726m is arduous but very rewarding.
