Sudamala Resort, Senggigi is a low-rise property of thatched bungalows, courtyards and pool villas on the sand at Mangsit, a few minutes north of Senggigi town. The group builds its hotels around local architecture and art rather than resort formula, and on a wedding day that shows: the walls, the stonework and the gardens already carry the look, so styling budgets go further here than at a generic beach hotel.
The signature ceremony runs across the pool. A walkway is laid over the water leading to an arch, with the bay behind and Senggigi’s sunset doing the lighting. If you want your feet on sand instead, The Deck sits between the pool and the beach and takes up to 100 guests, and the Mandalika Courtyard behind it holds 50 to 70 under fairy lights for the dinner. Olah Olah, the open-air restaurant, covers welcome dinners and the rain plan.
This is the size of resort where a wedding party of 40 to 80 effectively has the place to itself in the evening. The resort quotes weddings per event rather than off a published list, so we build the budget with the team and reconfirm current figures and availability for your date.

Why we love it
The aisle runs across the water
Sudamala's signature setup lays a walkway over the pool to an arch with the sea behind it, so the couple appear to cross the water. It is the most photographed thing on this stretch of coast, and it needs almost no additional styling to work.
Sasak architecture instead of resort beige
The property is thatched bungalows, stonework, courtyards and berugaks rather than the usual four-storey block, and the art on the walls is part of the group's thing. It gives portraits somewhere to go when the light is too hard for the beach.
Three sizes of wedding in one property
The courtyard takes 50 to 70, the deck takes up to 100, and the pool setting suits a small ceremony with dinner elsewhere. We often run the vows on the deck at sunset and move the group to the courtyard once the lights come on.

Common questions
Where is Sudamala Resort, Senggigi?+
On the beach at Mangsit, a few minutes north of Senggigi town on Lombok's west coast. Lombok is the island east of Bali, a 25-minute flight, and the resort is about an hour and a half from Lombok International Airport near Praya.
How many guests can Sudamala Senggigi take?+
The Deck holds up to 100 guests and the Mandalika Courtyard is written for 50 to 70. The pool ceremony setting suits a smaller group with dinner moved to one of the other spaces. Above 100 we look at the larger resorts in Senggigi or on the Sire peninsula.
How much does a wedding at Sudamala Senggigi cost?+
The resort quotes weddings per event rather than publishing package prices, because the total depends on guest numbers, the spaces you use, catering and rooms. We assemble the full budget with the team and reconfirm each figure for your date.
What is the pool wedding setup?+
The resort lays a walkway over the swimming pool leading to a floral arch, with the bay and the sunset behind. Guests are seated at the sides, and it works best in the last hour before sunset. Dinner then moves to the deck or the courtyard.
