Secluded in a valley surrounded by thousands of hectares of Protected Forest that wrap around the base of Mt. Rinjani, our unique Yoga Studio is located in a perfect natural, quiet setting to practice yoga and meditation. The world class open air Iyengar Yoga Studio overlooks a heavenly garden and includes a rope wall and all other yoga props. We offer 4 traditional Javanese Bungalows, each with your own exotic garden guaranteeing privacy during your stay. We are 1 km from many white sandy beaches with clear, turquoise ocean and one of the most breathtaking roads dotted with many 5 star resorts. A safe, silent space for the independent traveler/digital nomad, the onsite owner offer's guests a “home away from home” in an atmosphere of beauty and solitude. During lock down we were closed and have thoroughly washed all Bungalows from top to bottom, including all bedding,nets and new sheets and towels. Our staff are continually in serviced on using extra hygienic methods we now use for preparing food, washing dishes, tables, laundry and how to thoroughly clean our Bungalows. Your reservation includes a FREE breakfast of LOMBOK coffee, tea and either banana pancakes and a fruit plate, or a delicious coconut based smoothie bowl or omelette and toast. A variety of pure fruit smoothies and cold pressed juices are available for an additional charge. We grow most of our fruit and coconuts onsite and are locavores, purchasing our fresh produce locally. Breakfast is from 8:30 to 11:30am. For your other meals we provide you 24/7 access to a modern, shared kitchen for a minimal fee. We are centrally located to many of the beautiful waterfalls, rain forest drives, remote islands for snorkeling,( Gili Air, Gili Menu and Gili Trawangan ) and Mt. Rinjani for trekkers. The air here is fresh and clean and cooler than Bali.
YOGA CLASSES To help you unwind, take a morning yoga class (perfect for beginners) in our 50 year old Traditional teak Joglo that overlooks our tropical garden. The owner and creator of Gypsea is a most empathetic, passionate Iyengar inspired instructor with over 15 years teaching experience. During lock down all yoga props and ropes have been sterilized and we have re-varnished the yoga wood floor. Teaching yoga in line with the Australian standard guidelines for social distancing, I have reduced the number of students per class, your temperature is taken before class and hand sanitizer is used before and after class. At present we have one yoga class per day, Monday to Friday from 8:30 - 10:30am and Meditation classes in the evening on demand, all followed by a refreshing detox TEA
WATER
Our water is free and we drink it straight from the tap. We get our water from an on-site well that is 80 meters deep. Ten meters of clay, one of the best filtraton material, is directly on top of this third aquafer where we get our water. It has been tested in Australia and found to have no contamination and is rich in minerals. There is plenty of on demand hot water with excellent pressure in our western style bathrooms, of which three are open-air. The most recent models of bio- septic systems and water resource management practices are employed.
SHARED KITCHEN
Our renovated, modern kitchen is now open for our guests to use as WE NO LONGER SERVE DINNER. You will be able to access the kitchen with all of the utensils, refrigerator, gas stove-top, pots, plates, etc. on a 24/7 basis to cook your own food. Instead of eating out, you can cook your own meals in our clean, modern shared kitchen and then make yourself at home by enjoying your meal in our cosy, lounge/eating hub with good Wi-Fi. You will find company most any time in our eating hub as we get an interesting mix of guests from all over the world and often you will find someone to talk to. If you wish to use our kitchen to cook your meals a sur-charge will be added to your bill at check out time. Charge is to cover costs such as electricity, LPG gas, wages for cleaners and sundries.
If you arrive after breakfast, please note that we do not sell any snacks/drinks/food onsite, so please plan to either eat before you arrive or bring food with you. There are many international 5 star resorts and warangs along the coast nearby that offer outstanding menus with exquisite meals. Note that we are not a Hostel nor a Bed & Breakfast.

'' 床很舒服，第一次睡开敞的卧室还挺好玩的 房东夫妇非常de热情，关心客人，我到了的时候没有吃饭主动给我煮面条吃。 位置在丛林里，非常的大自然。很喜欢！ ''
'' We had a realy awesome stay at gypsea yoga. The homestay is placed a little bit outside from Senggigi so its very calm there. In combination with the wunderful host Bob, the nice garden and the comfortable bungalows we felt very cozy like a home far away from home. ... ''
'' Very nice garden with beautiful unique houses to stay at. The smoothie bowl is amazing! Bob took amazing care of us and made sure we had everything we needed and more. We had an amazing time with Bob and the other guests. It really felt like home. It is a must stay in Senggigi! They also care about the Lombok people, since because of the earthquake many people have lost their home and their source... ''
'' Super nice place! New and modern bathroom, hot water shower, delicious breakfast, and extremely nice and helpful owners. ... ''
'' Bob is such a good person and of course a good host! It's so quiet and natural out there. A small but lovely bungalow under the palm trees! We loved to see Bob offering work for the locals, e.g. making excellent breakfast ! He was always there for any questions or information (Good food recommendation, smooth and easy scooter rental....). ... ''
'' Heerlijk ontbijt. Super sanitair. Sfeervol ingericht. Huisje met de echte coole look. In de tuin volop ruimte. Op 15 min met de scooter alles bereikbaar. ''
'' Probably the best place we stayed in at Lombok. Bob was really friendly and helped us out with a scooter, delivered right at the spot! The water from the tap is drinkable as Bob gets it from his own dug well and he even had the water tested by a lab in Australia to make sure everything is OK. ... ''
'' Gypsea Yoga is a beautiful and magic place. Bob is such a genuinely nice person who knows how to take care of his guests and with whom you can have profound conversations. Breakfast is excellent, you can choose between a smoothie bowl or banana pancake :) ... ''
'' Das Homestay liegt abgelegen von der Straße, somit lärmfrei. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er konnte uns nach Ankunft direkt einen Roller organisieren. Außerdem ist das "Morgencafe" mit allen Informationen über Taxis, Erkundungskarten etc. ausgestattet. Das Frühstück war eines der besten, die wir während unserer Indonesienreise hatten und mit viel Liebe... ''
'' Un lieu d’une beauté et d’une tranquillité appréciables. De jolis bungalows de bois au milieu d’un jardin dont Bob nous fait goûter les merveilles ! Les petits-déjeuners sont un régal... Saya suka banyak sekali tempat ini. Sepih...di sekeliling kebun dan bunga-bunga. Kamar indah. Makanan segar orang ramah. ''
'' The host Bob is super friendly and helpful.. we communicated with him all the time, he helped us arrange many things at the best prices. The resort is very natural, relaxing and calm. Breakfast super healthy and delicious!... ''
'' I really enjoyed the calm and organic feeling here. I did not participate in any yoga because I was interested in the nearby beaches but I would like to come back and try one day! Thank you Bob for ensuring we had a perfect stay in "Neptune" room, it was wonderful :) ''
'' Beautiful place with a really nice garden located a small typical village in the forest close (with scooter) to the different wonderful beaches of Senggigi area. Bob and his staff are really helpful and attentive. There is a beautiful yoga space. They are also helping the local population with different initiatives to get over the earthquake. The breakfast is really good. We would love to comeback... ''
'' I spent the best days of my vacation at the Gypsea yoga. I had a wonderful and cosy bungalow in paradise! I immediately fell in love with the place and felt connected. Bob was greeting me upon arrival with some supertasty yoga tea, showed me around the property and had a very warm discussion with me. The next day he even taught me how to ride a scooter so now I can finally move around on my own... ''
'' De gastvrijheid van Bob was super. Vanuit de locatie hebben met scooter mooie tochten gemaakt ''
'' Bob was great. He really took care of us. We stayed in Atena - old style bungallow. This was a unique acommodation where we felt to be more close to the nature and its night sounds. We got extra blankets from Bob for cold nights. The bathroom with the bathtub (and the hot water) was the best we had in Indonesia. And the breakfast was really delicious. ''
'' Awesome place! Very friendly owners, clean and spacious room, incredible hot shower and very good breakfast. Really beautiful and quiet place. Would definitely stay here again. ''
'' The atmosphere of the place is stunning. Breakfast delicious, and it's the perfect place to enjoy a few days of relax. The Yoga studio is quite big and inspiring. If you practice, this is the perfect place to crash on. If you don't practice, its the perfect place to find peace and enjoy the looovely bathroom set-up and breakfast. ''
