“The Story of SAME SAME: From a Belgian’s Dream to Lombok’s Gem”
By The Spot
Tucked away in Kuta, Lombok, SAME SAME represents more than just a venue. It’s a dream hailing from the charming streets of Belgium that found its soulful place in Indonesia. Dive into the captivating tale of a wanderer, Bart, who turned his dream into a vibrant reality, crafting an oasis that feels remarkably like home.
A Belgian Dream:
In the captivating landscapes of Belgium, young Bart nurtured a dream: to create a travel spot that echoed the warmth and coziness of home. With Belgium’s delightful chocolates and beers close to his heart, the allure of exploring new horizons beckoned him.
The Lombok Adventure Begins:
2014 was the year that changed everything. With dreams in his eyes and adventure in his heart, Bart was drawn to Lombok. Beyond its sun-kissed beaches and lush landscapes, he saw a potential to blend the inviting warmth of Belgium with Lombok’s native allure.
The Inception of SAME SAME Bungalows:
The dream materialized first with SAME SAME Bungalows. These enchanting bamboo structures, an epitome of Lombok’s architectural charm, provided travelers with a serene haven. However, after a memorable five-year stint at its original location, SAME SAME Bungalows bid its first adieu.
Rebirth and Expansion:
2019 marked a resurgence. SAME SAME Bungalows sprouted in a fresh location, and with it, the birth of SAME SAME Hangout occurred. This wasn’t merely a restaurant; it emerged as the community’s hub, where every meal resonated with the homely vibes of Belgian and French cuisine.
The Advent of cokreate:
As the post-COVID era dawned, Bart discerned the shifting needs of travelers. Enter cokreate: a sanctuary for digital nomads, freelancers, and dedicated professionals. Equipped with top-notch amenities, this workspace quickly garnered a loyal following.
Embodying the Essence of Home:
Feedback streamed in, but a common refrain persisted: “This place feels like coming home.” This was the ultimate homage to Bart’s vision. SAME SAME evolved from merely an establishment to a community, a collective.
The Road Ahead:
While SAME SAME has celebrated myriad milestones, its foundational vision endures: to serve as a cherished home away from home. With aspirations of hosting special events, promotions, and intensifying sustainability endeavors, the chronicle of SAME SAME is far from over.
Tracing its lineage from a Belgian dreamer’s aspirations to Lombok’s crown jewel, SAME SAME stands as a testimony to passion, resilience, and the magical confluence of diverse cultures. Join us on this journey as we seamlessly merge Belgian hospitality with the quintessential charm of Lombok, crafting memories one moment at a time.

Digital Nomads, Welcome to Lombok
Lombok Island; Lush and green, surrounded by oceans, covered in jungles. Temples, rice terraces, white and moon sand beaches, waterfalls, and volcanoes.
No wonder people love it here.
In the 1970s, it was the hippies and surfers that discovered Bali. These days, while Australian still choose Bali over Lombok, European travelers start to favor Lombok.
With this, another group of people has discovered Lombok: digital nomads.
Remote freelancers, entrepreneurs and employees flock here to such an extent that Lombok is growing in popularity on the Nomad List – not just in Asia, but the whole world.
Let’s take a look, shall we?
It’s Beautiful
The first word that comes to mind when describing Bali is “green.” From jungles to rice fields, Lombok is a collection of “shades of green”, the most restful color for the human eye. Even if you’re on the island to work, all this green is like a vacation for your senses and mind.
And of course, green goes well with the almost perpetual sunshine, Volcanic hillsides,… and deep blue oceans.
No matter what time of year you go to Lombok, the warmest clothes you’ll ever need in coastal areas is a light sweater during the “cold” months between May and October.
It’s Always Warm
No matter what time of year you go to Bali, the warmest clothes you’ll ever need in coastal areas is a light sweater during the “cold” months between May and October. This is the dry season in Lombok, and temperatures at night can drop down to 21°C.
While average temperature highs range from 26 – 30°C during the entire year, the dry season is the most comfortable time of year to visit Lombok, because the humidity is at its lowest. During the rainy season from November to March, even the coastal areas swelter beneath a muggy blanket.
But if you need to cool off, you can always head into the mountainous inland areas. Here, temperatures can drop to 10°C at night – and if you’re remote enough and it’s a cloudless night, the Milky Way is spectacular.
All in all, though, you don’t need to worry about being cold in Lombok.
It’s Exciting
There’s no end of excitement and adventure to be had in Lombok. You can
- hike up a volcano,
- take a day trip to a remote lake,
- go jungle trekking,
- bathe in waterfalls,
- stroll through rice fields,
- dance the night away on the beach,
- enjoy water sports like scuba diving, snorkeling and surfing,
- experience Sasak culture up close,
- do yoga in open-air shalas,
- go white-water rafting
- take a trip to one of the smaller islands,
- bask in dazzling sunsets on beautiful beaches,
- marvel at rice fields from infinity pools, and
- delight in sea views from hilltops.
Even if you stay for a long time, Lombok never gets boring. There are always new places to explore, new adventures to be had.
And to top this all of, SAME SAME will be opening a brand new co-working space in Kuta Lombok. You can work at your own pace and time. Our co-working space will be accessible 24/7 for members.
