Very innovative, clean, beautiful garden and great location for visiting Kertasari bay or surf around. Julien the manager was great and very helpful in explaining all about Kertasari bay site seeing and surf spots

Everything’s just great: the location, view, staff, and owner. The architecture of the place is amazing and the walls allow for a pleasant room climate without AC. Surf just around the corner.

A really special place. Aesthetically stunning with natural building materials and beautiful planting in the most exceptional setting. We felt so relaxed here. The music was consistently good, the food was lovely, and there’s a strong sustainable ethos (zero plastic, water refills as standard). The staff are caring and thorough, and the place is faultlessly clean. It’s a short walk to a spectacular bay for surfing, wave jumping with kids, strolling and swimming. Highly recommend this wonderful place.

paradise

Beautiful property with lovely clean rooms. Ceiling fan seemed to work well for keeping you cool in the night. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant is banging! It’s more on the pricey side but worth the money. The smash burger is world class and a good size!

Breakfast is good value for money. Location is so amazing, beautiful views! Close enough to get to the beach for a surf. Staff were so friendly

We absolutely loved our 2 weeks stay at Bukit Samudra, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable with views over the ocean and mountains. Julien the owner and all of the staff were super helpful during our stay, they arranged a scooter for us and made sure we had everything we needed! The hotel is located 2 minutes from the beach and there are many fun waves to surf nearby. There is also a great restaurant with vegetarian options, and the dishes are delicious, highly recommend the chocolate fondant and the creamy lemon Mahi. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Kertasari!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bukit Samudra. We decided last minute to stay two nights in West Sumbawa, just to see a bit more. When we arrived here, we were so impressed and ended up extending our stay 2 times, cause we felt so at home and the staff was so kind and helpful. The room was beautiful and clean. We loved the breakfast and overall food, there was many vegan options which i loved! They rented us a scooter and we went to a few nice beaches and a waterfall nearby. There is a beach about 8 min walk. You can always ask for advice what to see and do there, to which places to go to. They even arranged us a taxi very quickly on our way to the accomandation, because our other taxi had a flat tire and we were stranded. They also have two very cute dogs, fiona and shrek!! If I could, I would’ve stayed longer. So all in all: If u visit Sumbawa, a stay at bukit samudra is a must. Great place and wonderful People. You will feel at home.

Nothing.

Thé view, the interior of the room, the cleanliness and the feeling of being in nature.

Beautiful new property overlooking the bay. Great restaurant, quickest quality meals you’ll get in Indo. Can see three surf breaks from your deck. This part of West Sumbawa is beautiful, more remote unspoilt. If you want quality accommodation in West Sumbawa it’s not cheap, this new property is great value. Will definitely return, thanks team.

Nothing. Everything amazing!

Words and pictures can’t fully capture the breathtaking place that Julien and his team are creating! Whether you’re chasing the best waves in Sumbawa—shortboard or longboard—or simply looking for a peaceful spot to unwind with a book while the ocean stretches out before you, Bukit Samudra is the place to be. A next-level hidden gem that’s absolutely worth the visit!

The bungalows have (as seen you can see on the photos) no proper walls. If you are a light sleeper, take earplugs with you.

We have had the most wonderful time in Sumbawa at Juliens place. Swell check from the balcony and great food from the restaurant. The rooms are big and cool even though they dont have AC. The big windows make it very bright. Cleaned every day and very nice staff. We ended up staying three weeks, surfing every day at Dirty Hippies and Northern Right.

Amazing

Stayed in March 2025

Truly exceptional. Beautiful views. The concept of "open" rooms where you can hear the sound of the ocean and the nature is so unique. It might not be for everyone, but for us it was really amazing, we planned to stay just 1 night but had to extend it to 2 nights. The restaurant is phenomenal. Thank you so much and we will be back when we come to western Sumbawa again. Just wow!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered this gem! Julien and his team have truly set a new standard for hospitality, quality, and culinary excellence in western Sumbawa. While we're not surfers and didn't come for the nearby breaks, we were eager to explore the region and its people. Julien's insightful recommendations were invaluable in planning our three-day stay at Bukit Samudra. Initially, we considered trying local warungs, but our first dinner at the resort's restaurant quickly changed our minds. The delicious food, reasonable prices, and friendly service were exceptional. Our bungalow was absolutely perfect – beautifully designed with everything we needed. It was impeccably clean, with a comfortable mattress, a great shower, and a relaxing lounge area. Honestly, it's one of the best bungalows I've ever stayed in. The outdoor shower was so refreshing that we didn't even miss having a pool. Plus, the beach is just a short five-minute walk away. Overall, it's a perfect 10/10. Thank you!

We loved the open air style of the rooms - but It was near impossible to keep the quite aggressive mosquitoes out the bed area at night, despite there being a net. Perhaps this could get considered during rain season with a more enclosed net - and a stronger fan could be good for the heat. The noise from the cattle bells and some dog barks at night was also bit of a concern while trying to fight the mosquitoes. I’m sure these things are already something the property will improve on, as it’s quite new to the area.

The view on the property was amazing, overlooking the bay and the hills on the headland. The food was delicious and staff was super friendly. We enjoyed the vicinity, and it was easy to get to there by car. I loved the gardening, with the flower bushes and trees all around. The rooms were nicely designed with neat bathrooms and hot showers. We loved that each room has its own water machine with cold and hot water. A nice and tranquil atmosphere which made us feel comfortable.

Staff is extremely nice, but since the whole place is still new, they still needs to learn the service a bit better (restaurant and cabin staff) - but those are rather small details, no major issues

fantastic accommodation, brand new spacious cabins with drinkable water fountain on each balcony. All of them also have beautiful view. Restaurant next to it is also very good.

This place is pure magic. Tucked away in the wild beauty of Sumbawa, it feels like you’ve stumbled upon a hidden paradise. The décor is just right—simple, stylish, and perfectly in tune with the nature all around. Waking up to the sound of the ocean, with the waves breaking right in front, is something special. The surf? Unreal. Whether you're just starting out or chasing the next big set, there's a break here with your name on it. And I can’t forget to mention Julien and the whole staff—they make you feel at home from the moment you arrive, always smiling, always ready to help. This place is the kind of dream you don’t want to wake up from. Can’t wait to come back! P. S. There's Starlink :)
