"Mati was not a fan of overcrowded spots, a paradox these days that affects both the occasional tourist and the seasoned traveler like her. That's why she found her place not in Hindu Bali but in Muslim Lombok, in a hotel without frills (it had a pool, but spartan rooms), reached by a path flanked by palm trees and lush vegetation."
"The Bumi Aditya is not a fortified resort or an all-inclusive wristband complex: it sits modestly in the middle of a village, among low houses, a few meters from the local mosque and less than a mile from Alberto Beach, on the Senggigi coast. It was there, under the sand, that the police found her two months after her death the same time her family of fellow women travelers had spent searching, worried because she had stopped posting on social media and had gone silent."
Matilde Muñoz Cazorla was a 72-year-old Spanish traveler who lived a nomadic life, renting her Palma de Mallorca apartment to fund extended trips through Asia. She preferred the modest Bumi Aditya hotel in Muslim Lombok, which she treated as a home. The hotel sits in a village near the mosque and Alberto Beach. Police found her body buried under sand on the beach two months after her death, after fellow women travelers had been searching because she stopped posting on social media. Investigators say two men entered room 107 through a window in the early hours of July 2.
