Where to Stay in Selong Belanak: Best Hotels, Villas & Beach Resorts

Selong Belanak is one of those places where you arrive for “a beach day”… and end up staying a week.

It’s calm, scenic, and simple in the best way. The surf is beginner-friendly, the sunsets are unreal, and it still feels more local than Kuta.

But where you stay matters here. A lot.

Because Selong Belanak isn’t one main street with hotels everywhere. It’s a bay + a few nearby beaches + hillside viewpoints + small inland roads. If you pick the wrong spot, you’ll be driving a lot. If you pick the right spot, everything feels easy.

This guide helps you choose the best place to stay based on:

• your vibe (beachfront / quiet / luxury / family / surf trip)
• your budget (mid-range to high-end, plus a few simpler stays)
• how close you want to be to the sand

Selong Belanak in 60 seconds

Selong Belanak Bay = the main beach (the one you see in photos).
Serangan Beach = a quieter beach nearby (more resort-style stays).
Hills above the bay = big views, luxury villas, sunsets, but you’ll drive to the beach.

The best areas to stay in Selong Belanak

1) Stay near Selong Belanak Beach (main bay)

Best for: first-time visitors, surf lessons, beach walks, easy days

This is the most “classic” choice: you wake up, walk to the beach, and you don’t need a plan.

Choose this area if you want:

• quick access to surf schools and beach cafés
• a simple routine (beach, lunch, sunset, sleep)
• fewer scooter rides

Watch-outs:

• It can get busier in daytime (especially weekends)
• True beachfront “resort” options are limited compared to Kuta

2) Stay at Serangan Beach (quiet, boutique-resort feel)

Best for: couples, calm beach days, people who want a resort vibe

Serangan Beach sits close to Selong Belanak and feels more private and slow. A lot of people do Selong Belanak for the day, then come back here for sunset and dinner.

This is where you’ll find stays like Segara Lombok and Boni Beach (both are positioned in/near Serangan Beach / Selong Belanak zone).

3) Stay in the hills above the bay (views + villas)

Best for: luxury stays, groups, “special trip” energy

This is the Selong Selo zone.

You’re not on the beach—but the views are huge. You’re up high, with sunsets, space, and privacy. Selong Selo describes itself as a designer luxury villa & resort in Selong Belanak.

Watch-outs:

• you’ll drive down to the beach (and back up)
• better if you’re comfortable with scooters or have a driver

4) Stay slightly inland (value + quiet + still close)

Best for: mid-range budgets, longer stays, quieter nights

This is where bungalows and smaller resorts make sense. You get more space, more calm, and usually better value—while still being close enough to beach life.
