Drop In Surf Lodge And Café (Lombok, Indonesia) ★★★

Drop In Surf Lodge is surrounded by palm trees and is located in a small neighbourhood a few minutes outside of Kuta. One of the most beautiful beaches, Tanjung Aan as well as the Surf spots Seger and Gerupuk Bay are only a short scooter-ride from Drop In.

Drop In Surf Lodge offers space for 12 guests. The Lodge has a cosy, familiar atmosphere with all the comfort you need to relax and unwind during your holiday. The main languages in the camp are English as well as German (the three owners all speak german). Drop In is also the home of four friendly dogs that can be good entertainment.

We are three girls from Switzerland and Germany who love Lombok, its people and its waves. Our paths crossed in Kuta Lombok in 2012 and we soon realized that we all share the same dream - showing other people how beautiful Lombok is and giving them a home base from where they can discover the island. It started with building a house for ourselves and the Drop In Café which opened in spring 2014. Shortly after the first bungalows followed which opened in spring 2015. Our last step is following now with another 3 bungalows, the swimming pool and the chill area resulting in our Drop In Surf Lodge – a surf oasis with all the comfort or how we call it: a home away from home!

Our six bungalows unite local features like the Alang-Alang roof with Western standards. All bungalows have a/c, ceiling fans, a bathroom with a hot water open-air shower as well as a private veranda to relax and enjoy the atmosphere during sunsets.

All bungalows are equipped with:

- double bed or twin beds

- air condition

- ceiling fan

- en-suite bathroom with hot water shower, WC, sink & towels

- private veranda overlooking the garden

- WiFi

- Coffee- and Tea station

- Insect repellent

- torch

- pool towel

- information folder

We have two different categories of Bungalows; either the “Tropical Vintage” Bungalows which charm with their cosiness or the a bit bigger “Tropical Industrial” bungalows which have a bit more space and have a slightly industrial touch. The pool area with its sunbeds, cosy daybeds and lounge invite to linger and relax after an exciting surf session. Integrated in the main house is the Drop In Café with its yummy home made cakes and smoothies, which is perfect for a light lunch or a sweet treat during the day.

Our Drop In Surf Garage is equipped with a variety of soft- and hardtops in different lengths, leashes, rashguards, zinc and wax. Moreover, we sell some well-known Surf bikini labels.

Included in the surf packages is daily a healthy breakfast (Coffee, fresh juice and a choice of: eggs with home made bread, müesli with fruits, yogurt and home made granola or pancakes) as well as two dinners: the welcome dinner on Sunday nights as well as one BBQ on the beach. Our Drop In Café is open daily until 6pm and offers fresh sandwiches and salads as well as yummy home made cakes. Kuta itself (5 minutes by scooter) has a wide variety of restaurants with Indonesian as well as Western cuisine to very reasonable prices.

Lombok offers waves for every level. Our teacher and guides make sure that our guests are at the right spot at the right time. The time and spot for the session will be announced the day before and depends greatly on the tide and the swell. Transport and material is organised by the teachers and the lesson itself is held in small groups: one teacher for two guests! This ensures that every guest gets maximal amount of waves and instructions cut to their personal skills and needs. A surf session takes about 3.5 to 5 hours including transport, short boat trip and information at the spot. The lessons and instructions are held in English.

The whole equipment is included in the beginner and intermediate lessons: Surfboard (size depending on the skills), leash, rashguard, wax. Moreover we also offer surfboard insurance. The material can also be used after the sessions.

Surfboard-rental 10 Euro / day (e.g. for guiding).

Massage at Drop In Lodge or Yoga outside of Drop In Lodge (each app. 10 Euro). We also organize trips around the island, e.g. waterfalls, snorkelling, trekking, fishing trips, local villages, etc. (prices depend on number of persons joining).
