Great spot on the perfect beach. This is truly a secret gem in paradise. The owner is friendly and kind and a good cook. I spent almost a week in Kuta and on my first day renting a scooter I went to every beach in the area in search of the best beach and this is my first choice. I returned here each day during my visit and tried something new on the menu each time and I was pleased with all my meals which I found very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this local warung.

A true gem in south Lombok. Close to nature, quiet and with a beautiful scenery. Drinks and food are amazing, swimming in the crystal blue water a real joy! Parking and sunbeds are free. Just order something.

Great beach to chill, we were basically alone here! :) The sunbeds a bit uncomfortable. Food’s not the best we’ve tried, but still good. We asked for one vegetarian dish and the other with chicken and they brought us both vegetarian (it didn’t matter to us, but still).

This was an excellent little warung we found with only one other couple there. People came and went to take a photo but we stayed the whole day eating swimming lazing about on beach beds. The owner lady was very nice and her little daughter was a delight. The food is simple but delicious. If you buy food you can sit under an umbrella. The beach was perfect blue and awesome to swim in. This area is very tidal so if the tide is out you won’t be able to swim so keep that in mind. Easy to get to if you are on a motorbike like us. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem alert! The woman who runs this place is so kind and gentle. It doesn't hurt that it's a pristine beach with shaded beds. Eat, drink a coconut, go for a swim, and enjoy the sea breeze.

Very simple warung. Parking and daybeds are free, and the owner is kind and happy to chat. Fresh coconuts are incredible and a must-have! An incredible beach with some great snorkelling sights if you brave the seaweed — beware urchins and lionfish! I’ll be back on high tide!

It's located on the end of the beach, so its less crowded. I order fried fish & coconut, and its really good. Price is quite affordable. The owner is really nice & friendly. The view is really good

"Our" place in Indonesias beaches. Went several days to this tiny bit of paradise. Some of those days there wasn't anyone else there. Food was amazing and cheap. Banana smoothie was the best I've ever had. There are some beach beds under a classic straw sunshades. Such a nice humble family running the place - will certainly miss little Aya
