Beachfront luxury resort, Sira Bay

The Sira is the newest of the serious resorts on the Sire peninsula, and it is the one we suggest when a couple wants a Luxury Collection standard of service without the crowds of Bali’s south. It opened in November 2024 on the white sand of Sira Bay at Sigar Penjalin in Tanjung: 46 suites and 14 pool villas behind a two-level infinity pool, with the Gili Islands sitting out on the water.
The bay faces west, which decides the shape of the day. The resort offers two wedding settings and publishes the same ceiling for both, 50 guests. The first is the beachfront, straight on the sand with the water in front. The second is the Sira Beach House, the resort’s 1,485 square metre three-bedroom beach house, whose garden and terrace suit a smaller ceremony or a private reception. Drinks and dinner run as the light drops, and there is an indoor meeting space, listed by Marriott at 40 people, for the rain plan.
We rate The Sira for weddings of 30 to 50 where the couple wants a reliable events team and rooms good enough that guests stay a week. Catering comes from the resort restaurants, styling vendors usually fly in from Bali, and the resort quotes weddings per couple rather than off a published price list. We reconfirm current figures and availability for your date.

Why we love it
The newest serious resort on this coast
The Sira opened in November 2024 and brought Luxury Collection standards to the Sire peninsula: 46 suites and 14 pool villas, a two-level outdoor pool, a spa, and an events team used to running weddings to a plan. For couples who want brand-level reliability on Lombok, this is the shortlist.
West-facing, which decides your timing
The bay looks west across to the Gilis, so the ceremony window is late afternoon and dinner catches the whole sunset. We build the run sheet backwards from that.
Two settings, both written for 50
The beach takes the larger version and the Beach House garden takes the private one, and the resort quotes the same ceiling of 50 guests for both. That is a real limit rather than a soft one, so we scope the guest list before we scope anything else.

Good to know
Common questions
Where is The Sira on Lombok?+
At Sira Barat in Sigar Penjalin, Tanjung, on the Sire peninsula on Lombok's northwest coast. Lombok is the island east of Bali, a 25-minute flight from Denpasar, and Marriott puts the resort 65 km from Lombok International Airport near Praya, around an hour and a half by road.
How many guests can The Sira hold for a wedding?+
The resort publishes 50 guests as its maximum for a ceremony, cocktail reception, standing party or seated dinner. Both settings, the beachfront and the Sira Beach House, work to that same number, so above 50 we look elsewhere on this coast.
What are the wedding spaces?+
Two, and the resort names them itself. The beachfront is the open version, right on the sand with the water in front. The Sira Beach House is the resort's 1,485 square metre three-bedroom beach house, whose garden and terrace handle a smaller ceremony or a private reception. Marriott also lists a 40-person indoor meeting space for wet weather.
Is it better than a Nusa Dua resort wedding?+
It is a genuine alternative at a gentler price and with far fewer people around, and the flight from Bali is short. The trade-off is the vendor pool: photographers, florists and celebrants usually travel from Bali, which adds transport to the budget rather than removing it.
