Constructed beside tall coconut trees, the towers of Lost Lindenberg host eight suites offering extraordinary views of the ocean and the jungle and are interconnected by a so-called Highline: an elevated walkway facing the sea. Alexis Dornier and Studio Jencquel designing the hotel wanted to "give the sensation of walking in a different world, of resting on a floating, elevated, and secure ship, with the wild jungle at the doorstep. Clustered together, the towers form a village among the trees, a small floating town." (Alexis Dornier)
Lost Lindenberg. Stay near the wild ocean, embrace surfing and satisfy the need for urbanity in middle of the jungle
The inspiration for the Lost Lindenberg hotel was the magic of the place, its sweet melancholy, the black volcanic sand, and the magnificent ocean waves. Located near the small Hindu village Pekutatan on the less touristy, western coast of Bali, the resort is not just another honeymoon hotel clad in rattan but a hidden refuge surrounded by temples, ruled by nature and sacred spirits, and a short walk from the famous Medewi Surf Poin
Lost is designed with great attention to detail, blending tradition and contemporary exaggerations in contrast. The predominant material is wood from sustainable sources; the floors are clad with Bali’s green stone, and brass is used as an accent throughout the composition. The interiors are warm and welcoming with linen fabrics, lava stone, tropical wood, burnt teak, and river stones. The furniture, lamps, ceramic dishes, and almost all accessories have been custom-designed by Studio Jencquel. The underlying theme of melancholy and darkness is perceivable in every element
The landscape design is an extension of the architectural footprint (or vice versa). The Highline connecting the towers is actually the continuation of a path that starts in the garden, penetrates the buildings, and ends at the lava sand beach. The journey begins at the entrance after the neon installation and first leads through a tropical forest where, amidst a vast variety of plants, various elements such as a rock fountain and a meditation bench are encountered. Beyond the forest, the path continues towards “the meadows”: a vast area near the reception that extends to the center of the property and where all species of grass available in Bali can be found
The landscape changes as one moves from one area to another: bundles of river rock channeling rainwater resembling streams; a sacred spring, and next to it, a large river rock carefully positioned between two lava stone temples; lush bougainvilleas outlining the dining and lounge areas; and finally, a hidden path leads to the beach through a forest of pandan trees
