Fantastic bungalow in paradise. Good food. Idea to protect turtles by buying eggs, breeding and release

Release procedure for turtles was hold back by 1 day in one case and 2 days without food in a box with strong current; to have maximum visitors . Quite a few turtles died before release and the remaining turtles have been so exhausted, that they rested after every second step on their way to the ocean. I saw turtle release in Malaysia and they rushed to the sea. This place would be perfect, if nature protection would be higher rated than visitisor entertainment.

We originally booked 5 nights at Kirana and extended for an extra 2 because we loved it so much. Set in an amazing private bay with beautiful surroundings, it was such a tranquil place to stay. Lots of surf breaks close by and easy to get to by scooter which we hired from Kirana. We cannot speak more highly about the staff and the effort they went to to ensure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely be back! The food was so delicious and a really extensive menu catering to all dietary needs with lots of healthy and fresh options. We were really impressed by the greenhouse that was recently built to grow their own produce! Great coffee, juices and cocktails on offer too!

I don’t even know where to start with Kirana, it truly was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The staff are the NICEST people we’ve ever met and went above and beyond with their care and attentiveness. Daby and firman are the kindest receptionist and you feel instantly at home the moment you arrive. I wish I could name all the staff but sadly can’t remember everyone’s name! We stayed in a beach view villa and it was breath taking. We loved the outdoor shower, showering while looking at the stars. The beach cove is beautiful and the water is so clear, snorkelling is a must. Paddle boards, kayaks and snorkels are included in your stay. The food is delicious and they do a good happy hour for beer between 5pm-6pm. There are lots of animals such as turkeys, cats, pigeons, dogs, rabbits, horses and tortoises and they just seems to be living their best lives (for people that’s aren’t to keen on animals they aren’t in the food areas or your rooms don’t worry)! You can also feel turtles the whole time in the sea. We are already looking at coming back in march and staying here for a month! Thank you so much again kirana ☺️

Absolutely nothing

Waking up to that view is unbeatable. My partner & I agreed that we have never been so relaxed in our lives. Waking up to the sound and the view of that beautiful ocean was something else. As well as the sunset view over the ocean from the balcony of your hut (and of course from the restaurant!). The yoga shala is so beautiful, as well as the basically private beach & fore mentioned view. Everything we ate at the restaurant was delicious. The Tuna, avocado & mango tartare entree is incredible!! Massive standout for us over our whole Indonesian trip. The Nasi Goreng served at Kirana was my favourite so far! We tried all of the smoothie bowls on the menu and they were soo good! We ate a lot of other meals there and honestly couldn’t fault a thing. The staff were so helpful & kind. Unlocking the gate to allow us to walk along the bridge to snorkel in the water when the tide was low (unable to access via beach easily because of the exposed reef). The bed was soo comfortable! We slept so well in this bed, the aircon is a great icy temperature! Such a beautiful escape from the heat when needed! The water is crystal clear. The most magical bay with hardly any people there. It honestly felt like our own private beach most mornings! We will definitely be back here! The most relaxing, unwinding & breathtaking spot. ☺️♥️ Thankyou

We were disappointed that the accomodation didn’t have a fridge. Sumbawa is so hot. It felt like a more intense heat than anywhere else so far in Indo, so a fridge in a more high end accomodation would have been greatly appreciated. Instead of having to waste excess plastic buying cold water bottles, we could happily put the refilled bottles of water that Kirana supplies into the fridge. I’m sure Kirana isn’t falsely advertising one, but having stayed in places all over Indonesia with a lot lower accomodation prices (40k a night), paying this price a night for a room, you would hope this to be a feature in the accomodation ☺️

The beachfront bungalow has a wide space view of the bay and it’s super calm, you can hear the ocion and you are private. The open air shower with the tree inside is great to be closer to the nature. If you are more a city person and can’t bear insects or mud if it rains, chose the cabin with the inside bathroom. The natural cosmetics smellt so good! Would be good to have also to have for cleaning hands, we used the shower gel, which is all good. Finally we had mosquito net and fan , which I don’t know why is such an unsustainable thing to have in indo.

It would be great to have hooks to put a hammock at the porch of the hut.

Everything about the property was amazing in the most beautiful location great for a relaxing getaway. Food menu was great everything was so fresh and flavourful we loved the spring rolls!

Only dislike is that they didn’t have filtered water system in our room which sucked because we were constantly buying plastic water bottles

The food was absolutely amazing and good value for money. The beach is pristine and the water crystal blue - though a bit too wavy for swimming or snorkeling-, the sunset spot is perfect and at night, when you turn off the lights the starry sky is unforgettable.

The road to the hotel is a bit tough, although it takes no more than 15 minutes from the main road.

Surrounding feels like in paradise, the huts are exceptional with outside bathroom and ocean view. The staff were super nice and helpful, the food is quite expensive but you pay for the view and it did taste just awesome and original! A lot of vegetables are also selfgrown and treated with love. We had a fantastic stay and would love to come back soon! PS : best coffee in Sumbawa

Location, views the place was magic.

expensive drinks on the restaurant, toilet always wet and with the sand of the beach that it has makes you feel easily dirty after a shower. we loved the place it's totally worth it to visit it

The most amazing setting, we loved our stay. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location is incredible and we loved our stay! Perfect nature setting
