A Tranquil Escape: Unveiling the Serenity of Morin Resort, Nusa Lembongan.
Stepping onto the grounds of Morin Resort, I immediately felt a wave of calmness. Nestled in Nusa Lembongan, this secluded retreat promised a break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Eager to unwind and recharge, I embarked on a stay adventure filled with comfort, luxury, and breathtaking scenery.
Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome from the staff, complete with a refreshing welcome drink from their menu, setting a friendly tone for my stay. After a smooth check-in process, I was escorted to my accommodation – a charming lumbung tucked amidst lush greenery, perched on a cliff. Though a short stroll was required, my efforts were well rewarded with stunning vistas of the ocean and the majestic Mount Agung in the distance.
The luxurious lumbung exuded a rustic charm and boasted modern amenities by the locally produced, high-end brand that is Sensatia. Its spacious interior was tastefully adorned with traditional Indonesian accents, creating an ambiance that felt both cosy and elegant. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a truly indulgent experience.
One of the highlights of my stay at Morin Resort was waking up to stunning views each morning. From the private terrace of my lumbung, I was treated to panoramic vistas of the Indian Ocean. The sight of the sunrise over the horizon was truly captivating. The breathtaking views from Morin Resort encompassed not only the vast ocean but also views of the majestic Mount Agung and the nearby surf breaks.
For the culinary experience, ‘The Playful Table’ restaurant offers an array of plant-based dishes available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As Nusa Lembongan’s only plant-based eatery, it was a pleasant surprise for me as a plant-based food enthusiast. Each meal was a flavourful and nourishing treat with the menu boasting vibrant salads to refined plant-based dishes, all beautifully presented and prepared with the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
Morin Resort’s commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation was evident throughout my stay. Their eco-friendly practices were visible in both minuscule details and crucially substantial actions – from the energy-efficient lighting to the use of locally sourced materials in construction, including repurposed wood from ships and latex mattresses. These efforts demonstrated a sincere dedication to preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings. It was reassuring to support a resort that prioritised sustainability and responsible tourism.
During my stay, I enjoyed a variety of recreational activities offered by the resort. With snorkelling adventures in vibrant coral reefs, leisurely strolls along pristine white sandy beaches, relaxing by the infinity pool, and everything in between, there was no shortage of ways to immerse myself in the natural wonders of the island. Morin also offers Ocean Experience packages, featuring private snorkelling, sunset tours, and romantic dinners, adding an extra touch of exclusivity to the stay.
As my staycation at Morin Resort drew to a close, I felt reluctant to leave this island paradise. Yet, I departed with a sense of renewed energy and a treasure trove of memories to cherish forever. Morin Resort, with its serene atmosphere, stunning views, and dedicated staff, exceeded all expectations and offered the perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. I promised to return, knowing I’d find another pampering retreat in this idyllic haven, perfect for romantic getaways.
Some personal tips:
- Go snorkelling and see the majestic mantas for a truly incredible and beautiful experience.
- Within walking distance of the resort, you’ll find Tamarind Beach and Coconut Beach on the left and right sides, respectively. Coconut Beach is an absolute delight to swim in, and you mustn’t miss the fantastic coffee shop nestled against the cliff.
- Do consider spending at least one single day on an island tour to explore all that the island has to offer; it will not disappoint.
