Lovina Krui Surf

I stayed at Lovinas for about two weeks after arriving to Krui with no accomodation. I checked out pretty much every place within the area, and wow am I glad I settled there. Yoris and his wife Fransiska were absolutely superb! Some of the best hosts I’ve ever had, anywhere. Just lovely ppl, with a terrific bunch of staff, that will really go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. The location is excellent, the food is great and plentiful, Lovinas itself has by far the best vibe I came across... testament to this is the fact that many of the other local and western owners drop by and hang out there daily, whether to have a beer or a chat and just hang out. The price is spot on, which is definitely not the case for some of the other more expensive, western owed options (nb I am not referring to Mandiri BC - the boys there actually referred me to lovinas. But you’ll prob figure it out once you see the giant, always-closed gate blocking you off from the rest of Krui). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place. There’s a few options around that are owned by westerners and located closer to Krui. Some better than others, some really unjustified for the price. Lovinas is locally owned and ran, and they accommodate anyone that walks through the door. It’s closest to the better waves in the area. Don’t be fooled by staying up near Krui itself. The vibe and waves round the point are better IMO. Honestly, it’s a 10/10 for me. Yoris is an absolute gentleman and deserves every accolade that comes his way. As do all the staff and his lovely wife. They’ll sort you out anything you need, and make sure you get to whatever waves you like, however you like. Cheers guys!

The waves are so good and the hospitality at lovina krui and surf was excellent! The vibes is good and the food also! Will come back soon for sure! You can look for yoris if you want to come and make sure you explore more of the place around! 🤙

Just spent an AMAZING 8 days at Lovina. Joris and Fransiska are fantastic hosts along with their whole staff - extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive to the needs of all guests. The meals are a must for hungry surfers - so delicious and varied, and they went out of their way to ensure my vegetarian needs were met. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Close to great surf locations along the coast, and their scooters work a treat to get around to each equipped with a board carrier. Will have to come back to try to win the pool tournament next year! Just wish it wasn’t quite so far away from New Zealand...

I'm from Italy and I can say that the food at Lovina is just AMAZING! ;) My boyfriend and I stayed there for 6nights and owners and staff were always super friendly and accommodating. We request vegetarian meals and we were pleased to see plenty of vegetables, tofu and temphe. Also fish every day for lunch and dinner . Couldn't ask for better! I never got sick ones, and the accommodations are lush,beautiful and clean. You guys are legends. Thanks Fransiska and Joris !! Come for a visit to New Zealand! Tiska & Sam

The best people run this surf camp so well. Great community of people, the best place to stay at Ujung Bocur. Food is always consistently good and cold drinks flow like water. One of those places where you make friends for life. Thanks Lovina
