Simple but well-maintained thatched-roof cottages right on Senggigi Beach at budget-friendly prices. The property offers basic amenities including a beachfront restaurant serving Sasak food and cold drinks, making it a solid low-cost option in Lombok's main resort area.
Senggigi Cottages is a budget beachfront property on Jalan Raya Senggigi, the main coastal road running through Senggigi — Lombok's established resort strip on the west coast of the island in West Nusa Tenggara. The property occupies a direct beachfront position on Senggigi's long curved bay, with the Lombok Strait and the distant volcanic silhouette of Mount Agung in Bali visible across the water on clear days.
The accommodation comprises simple thatched-roof cottages with a breezy tropical aesthetic built to make the most of the beachfront setting. Rooms are fan-cooled rather than air-conditioned and furnished simply with the emphasis on functionality rather than luxury. Bathrooms are clean and en-suite. The low price point makes Senggigi Cottages one of the most affordable beachfront options in the Senggigi area, where many competing properties charge significantly more for similar sea proximity.
The property has a small beachfront restaurant serving Sasak food alongside simple Indonesian and Western dishes. The Sasak menu is a particular draw — dishes such as ayam taliwang (Lombok-style chilli chicken), plecing kangkung (water spinach with chilli sambal), and beberuk terong (spiced eggplant) are prepared with local ingredients. Cold drinks and fresh coconut are available throughout the day, making the restaurant a relaxed spot to watch the waves roll in.
Senggigi is a well-established tourist destination offering a full range of services including dive shops, surf rental, restaurants, bars, money changers, and convenience stores within easy reach of the cottages. The Senggigi Art Market operates along the main road and is a good source of locally made batik, crafts, and souvenirs. Day trips to the Gili Islands and into Lombok's interior can be easily arranged from the resort strip.
Senggigi Cottages suits budget-conscious travellers who prioritise beachfront access over room amenities, and those seeking a quieter alternative to the larger hotels along the same stretch of coast.

Frequently asked questions
Is Senggigi Cottages air-conditioned?
The cottages use ceiling fans rather than air-conditioning, which keeps costs low. The beachfront position generally receives a sea breeze that makes fan cooling comfortable for most of the year.
Is the beach safe for swimming?
Senggigi Beach is generally calm and safe for swimming, though conditions vary with the tide. The bay is sheltered and suitable for most swimmers. There is no lifeguard service, so swimming alone at night is not advisable.
What food is available at the on-site restaurant?
The restaurant serves Sasak specialities including ayam taliwang (spicy grilled chicken), plecing kangkung, and beberuk terong, alongside standard Indonesian rice and noodle dishes and some Western options. Fresh coconuts and cold drinks are available throughout the day.
How far is Senggigi from the Gili Islands?
The Gili Islands are accessible from Bangsal boat harbour, approximately 20 kilometres north of Senggigi along the coast road. Public fast boats to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno depart regularly from Bangsal throughout the day.
