The Experience
Flavors is the restaurant of The Lombok Lodge, a small boutique hotel on Medana Bay on the northwest coast of Lombok, a short drive from The Oberoi. It seats only a handful of tables on a terrace above the pool and the beach, and the kitchen is run by Wayan Jiwa Raga — a Lombok-born chef who trained in the kitchens of The Oberoi Hotel Group and at Mozaic Restaurant in Bali, and who in 2025 marked fifteen years directing this kitchen.
The signature is the six-course Lombok Lobster Menu, built around a whole local lobster and priced at IDR 1,890,000++ per person for non-resident guests. The alternative is a daily-changing six-course tasting set at IDR 890,000++ per person, which rotates with the morning market and the day's catch rather than a fixed card. There is no long à la carte list; the format is the menu, written each day.
With so few covers, dinner is close to private. The room is open to the sea on Medana Bay, the pace is unhurried, and the wine list leans on accessible New World bottles with a short Indonesian selection. Service is one team for the whole room, which suits a slow, multi-course evening rather than a quick meal.
The Lodge sits at Jalan Pantai Medana, Desa Medana, in the Tanjung district of North Lombok (83352). Reservations are essential, since the terrace holds only a few tables and the lobster menu is prepared to order; the hotel arranges airport transfers.
Why it's right for a Proposal
For a proposal in Lombok, a terrace with only a few tables above Medana Bay is the most personal setting on the island. Book at sunset, order the six-course lobster menu, and the evening builds course by course toward the question — without the scale or noise of a larger resort dining room.
Who it's not for
Flavors is not for a large group or a lively night out: there are only a few tables, the format is a fixed multi-course menu rather than à la carte, and the setting is quiet and resort-bound. Anyone after Sasak street food, late-night energy, or a long printed menu should look to Lombok's town restaurants and warungs instead.

Is Flavors a good choice for a proposal or special occasion?
