Cocotinos Sekotong, Lombok - We are Open!

Cocotinos Sekotong :: Cocotinos is proud to announce the opening of its flagship boutique beach resort in Sekotong, Lombok.

Set amidst a private, 350-metre white sand beach, crystal clear blue waters and tucked into a south western enclave of rolling hills, Cocotinos Sekotong is the first full-service resort to settle there.

This resort is an evolution from Cocotinos Manado – an eco-friendly retreat based in a cosy and warm setting surrounded by lush greenery and photogenic views of the beach and the islands – built on a grander scale. True to its traditions and high standards, guests familiar with the resort in Manado, North Sulawesi, can expect the same quality service and comfort it is known for. The new 28-room boutique resort boasts more luxurious rooms, an extensive spa, dive centre and a water sports centre.

Best of all, guests can enjoy these luxuries without burning a hole in their pockets. This ‘functionally elegant’ boutique resort may be small by some standards but with personalized yet unobtrusive service, you are assured of a wonderful retreat in paradise.
