About the home
Nestled in a small coconut grove, just metres from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Villa Kura kura is a new holiday Villa, completed in 2011. The Villa has been built in a tropical style but with the luxuries of modern living , air conditioning, multi language satellite TV,DVD player etc and 3 double en-suite bedrooms ,all with sea views
The villa has a huge first floor decking area with bifold doors to the living area, and master bedroom, providing an open plan layout
Set back from the sea, across the single track coastal road to Banko Banko, the Villa offers a feel of the real Lombok. The deck is the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dining, to take advantage of the magnificent views of the offshore islands, or to watch the friendly locals going about their business
As a contrast, the large well designed freshwater swimming pool , set back in the gardens, offers a haven of peace and quiet, with two shady thatched Barugas to read a book or enjoy a cool drink
As with all developing countries, there can be power cuts, the staff kitchens may not always have everything on the menu, and there may be delays or other hiccups, but as a base to experience this as yet undeveloped corner of Lombok, it offers real value for money
The villa is one of three privately owned Villas located on this beautiful cove.
The Villa has the basics of Microwave,fridge,water cooler,toaster,sandwich toaster, Grill etc, as the staff operate from a separate staff kitchens, where a wide range meals can be prepared and brought to the Villa by the friendly housekeeping staff and examples of the Menu, with both Local and Western style dishes available at reasonable prices are available
The ideal holiday location, with snorkelling, surfing and diving all nearby
and a car with driver on hand for excursions to Senggigi, Mount Rinjani,the Monkey Forest and the local craft villages.
There is also a dive school -DIVEZONE, which has recently opened 100 metres further down the beach, who offer a full range of diving opportunities and lessons

The Bali / Lesser Sunda Islands / West Nusa Tenggara/Lombok region
The beautiful island of Lombok is not as well known as its sister island of Bali, but if anything its spectacular volcanic scenery and beautiful beaches more than make up for anything it may lack in commercial development
The appeal of Lombok is its lack of commercialisation and development, but as with many areas off the busy tourist track, this natural unspoilt paradise can have occasional infrastructure problems such as power cuts, however Villa Kura Kura has a back up generator to try and minimise any inconvenience
The Sekotong area
Villa Kura Kura is located on the unspoilt southwest peninsula.
Found on the scenic coastal road, just minutes from the world famous surfing beach of desert point, known locally as Banko Banko, the Villa provides an opportunity to experience the real Lombok, away from commercial development, with friendly locals always eager to say hello
There a numerous small islands just a few minutes from the Villa, all easily reached by the Villas own boat, and the local snorkelling is spectacular.
The villa also has booking arrangements with a local dive school, located about 10 minutes away.
