A charming mid-range resort in Senggigi known for its Javanese art and craft aesthetic, Puri Mas offers traditional-style rooms and villas surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The resort hosts popular batik-making and traditional dance workshops, making it ideal for culture-minded travellers.
Puri Mas Boutique Resort and Spa is a mid-range resort in Senggigi, West Lombok Regency, with a distinctive cultural identity rooted in Javanese and Balinese artistic traditions. The property occupies a compound along Jalan Raya Senggigi, approximately 12 kilometres north of Mataram, with a lush tropical garden compound that extends to the Senggigi beachfront. The resort's aesthetic departs markedly from the modernist palette of neighbouring properties. Its 45 villas, suites, and rooms are constructed from natural materials including bamboo, teak timber, and volcanic stone, and decorated with hand-painted batik panels, traditionally woven Lombok textiles, and artisan furnishings sourced from craft workshops across Java and Lombok. Several villa categories feature carved hardwood four-poster beds and private garden bathrooms that incorporate natural stone. Puri Mas is most widely recognised in the Senggigi area for its cultural programme. Resident artisans offer batik-making workshops where participants learn the wax-resist dyeing technique on fabric using natural plant-based dyes, producing their own keepsake work to take home. Traditional Javanese and Balinese dance performances are staged multiple times per week in the resort's garden pavilion, drawing both in-house guests and visitors from neighbouring hotels. A weekly Lombok cooking class programme introduces guests to Sasak culinary methods, local spice combinations, and the use of banana leaf and palm sugar in traditional recipes. The spa draws on jamu herbal remedies sourced from Javanese herbalists, combining these with Balinese oil massage, reflexology foot treatments, and the lulur body scrub — an Indonesian rice, spice, and yoghurt exfoliation ritual traditionally associated with pre-wedding preparation. The central swimming pool is set within mature tropical plantings that provide shade through much of the day, creating a garden-pool atmosphere distinct from the exposed infinity formats more common along the Senggigi coastline. The on-site restaurant serves Indonesian and international cuisine across all three meals in an open pavilion. The resort attracts culture-minded travellers, Indonesian arts enthusiasts, and repeat visitors seeking a locally rooted Lombok experience at a realistic price point.

- Room rates at Puri Mas are among the most competitive for boutique-standard accommodation in Senggigi — value for money is a strong point

- The beachfront is a 1 to 2 minute walk through the garden compound; the path involves some sandy stretches so beach footwear is useful
Accessibility
The resort's multi-tiered garden layout involves steps and uneven natural paths between some villa categories and the pool and restaurant areas. The main restaurant and the beach access path are relatively flat, but wheelchair users may find sections of the garden difficult to navigate. Guests with mobility needs should discuss room allocation directly with the resort before arrival.
