Bangkok, Thailand – Located in the breathtaking Indonesian archipelago, the island of Lombok is famous for the raw beauty of its pristine nature that attracts tourists from all over the world. To respond to an influx of experience-seeking travelers, Cross Hotels & Resorts has signed a Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) with PT. Origin Resorts Lombok who welcomes away Lombok Mandalika and Amber Beach Lombok by Cross collection to its growing portfolio.

Hot on the heels of a deal to manage sister hotels in the world-class tourist destination of Bali in April 2022, the latest announcement brings the number of Cross-branded boutique properties in Indonesia to six. These include Away Bali Legian Camakila, Cross Bali Breakers, Tanadewa Resort and Spa Ubud by Cross Collection and Tanadewa Villas and Spa Nusa Dua by Cross Collection.

A true tropical paradise, Away Lombok Mandalika attracts visitors with exceptional accommodation that includes luxury garden and pool suites decorated with natural textures and local handicrafts. Located close to the main town of Kuta, Away Lombok Mandalika’s ethos for its guests is “Escape Everyday Life” and this is where you can fill your bucket list with great surfing, stunning sunsets and the possibility of partying until late at night.

“We are honored to partner with PT. Origin Resorts Lombok and I are delighted with the continued expansion of our ecological footprint on the beautiful island of Lombok. With these two wonderful resorts joining the Cross family, I am confident that our strong international network will help bring a new breed of holidaymakers to Lombok. Cross Hotels & Resorts is committed to the targeted expansion of our business in Indonesia. Our dedication and flexibility of execution are essential as we continue to transform hospitality for all,” said Harry ThaliwalCEO of Cross Hotels & Resorts.

Meanwhile, Amber Lombok Beach by Cross Collection is a quintessential seaside retreat located along the turquoise shores of South Lombok and includes superior, poolside and beachfront suites, as well as a stunning moon suite honey and multi-bedroom pool and beach villas. Each room is decorated in soft earth tones complemented by traditional wall paintings and accessories. Renowned for its exquisite gastronomy, creative cocktails and landscaped gardens, the Instagrammable resort encourages guests to be part of its eco-friendly initiatives that protect nature through a minimal ecological footprint approach.

Theo Dandine, Founder of PT. Origin Resorts Lombok, was equally delighted with the latest announcement, saying: “We have complete confidence in Cross Hotels & Resorts. It is an exceptional brand that provides a global network and is backed by Flight Center Travel Group. We strongly believe that the brand will set a new benchmark for service quality and excellence in the local hospitality industry. This deal will ultimately raise Lombok’s profile as an international destination, while at the same time benefiting the wider community.
