Sumbawa is part of West Nusa Tenggara surrounded by a variety of tropical islands and scattered with white sandy beaches. The back of the country features wild jungle while the beachfront offers a spectacular selection of world class waves.

From Bima Airport it’s a short two hour drive that get’s you straight to Cempi bay that is an absolute jewel sitting on the southern part of the central island. Famous for one of the best surfing, kite-surfing and fishing destinations on earth, there is no shortage of world class waves such as Lakey Peak, Periscope, Nungas, Lakey Pipe, Cobblestones, Nanga Doro and many more undiscovered ones and secret spots.

The small village has a classic surfing vibe to it and is perfect for everyone looking for a get-away of the crowded beaches and lineups in other popular destinations.

Lakey Rock Pool Hotel sits right on the beach facing the famous Nungas left-hander that resembles a mini version of G-land (according to the Stormrider Surfguide). As a family run hotel we’re destined to offer you a comfortable accommodation with western standards for your holiday so you can feel just like at home.

Each of our rooms is around 25 sqm, has its own AC, western standard toilet and a private veranda with unobstructed ocean view. There is a restaurant and bar on site with free Wifi where we serve you breakfast, lunch, dinner and ice-cold beer while you can sit back, relax and enjoy a million dollar view overlooking the ocean.

⦁ Surfing: The variety of waves in Lakey makes it more than easy for everyone to find their ideal spot. From performance right- and left-handers at Lakey Peak, Lakey Pipe and Persicopes for the expirienced surfers to Nungas and Cobblestone right for the intermediate to advanced there is a wave for all skill levels. 
However, we are always happy to organise surf trips to any of the lesser known spots in the area that almost guarantee you to surf by yourself or just with your mates. 
The waves are breaking all year around but your best bet bet will generally be the season from April to August.

⦁ Kite-surfing: Lakey’s popularity as a world class destination for kite-surfing has been growing over the last few years. The main season would be from August - October where the wind direction from the morning until the afternoon is usually perfect for long waves (up to 300m) at Nungas and Lakey Pipe

⦁ Fishing: Talk to us if you want to go on a fishing trip. We organise charter trips for you to go spearfishing, trolling and casting after big GTs, Marlin, Sailfish, Barracuda, Mahi-mahi, Tuna and many more.

⦁ Exploring: In case you want to explore the area we also organise scooter and car rentals or transports to all sightseeing destinations in the area. Close by there are waterfalls, hot springs, a Japanese bunker or just wild nature to explore.

⦁ Snorkeling: The reef just right out the front offers you some beautiful corals, colourful reefs and an abundance of marine wild life. Other spots in the area are there as well but will need you to hop on a boat or go on a quick scooter ride.

⦁ Relaxing: Chill out after your surf session and get a massage, relax at the bar watching the waves or get a tan on the empty beach 10 meters from our place.
