Lombok, Indonesia, July 5, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / The island of Lombok, nestled in the breathtaking Indonesian archipelago, is renowned for its pristine natural beauty and attracts tourists from around the world. To meet the influx of adventure-seeking travelers, Cross Hotels & Resorts has signed a Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) with PT. Origin Resorts Lombok, adding Away Lombok Mandalika and Amber Lombok Beach by Cross Collection to its growing portfolio.

Following the signing of a management contract for two hotels in the world-renowned tourist destination of Bali in April 2022, the latest announcement increases the number of Cross brand boutique hotels 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.

Away Lombok Mandalika, a true tropical paradise, entices its guests with exceptional accommodations, including luxurious garden and pool suites designed with natural materials and local handicrafts. Located near the city of Kuta, Away Lombok Mandalika embraces the motto "Escape from everyday life" and offers its guests the opportunity to realize their dreams: excellent surfing, breathtaking sunsets, and vibrant party nights.

“We are honored to partner with PT. Origin Resorts Lombok, and I am delighted to further expand our commitment to sustainability on the beautiful island of Lombok. With these two fantastic resorts now joining the Cross family, I am confident that our strong international network will help bring a new kind of traveler to Lombok. Cross Hotels & Resorts is committed to the targeted growth of our business in Indonesia. Our commitment and flexible execution are key to how we can continue to develop the hotel industry for everyone,” said Harry Thaliwal, CEO of Cross Hotels & Resorts.

It offers superior suites with pool and ocean views, a stunning honeymoon suite, and multi-bedroom villas with pool and beach access. Each room is decorated in soft earth tones and tastefully adorned with traditional wall art and accessories.
