Best areas to stay in Lombok - chosen for you
Senggigi
Senggigi is the busiest destination in Lombok on the west coast an hour from the airport. The original tourist resort on Lombok, Senggigi has a stunning location nestled between a series of sweeping bays. A great base to explore the rest of Lomkbok, there is also a good mix of beaches, nightlife, watersports and great restaurants. The sandy beaches are fringed with coconut palms and tropical forests. The exclusive area of Mangsit is two miles north. In the evenings, watch the dramatic sunset as the sun fades into the ocean beside Bali's Gunung Agung.
Kuta
The area around Kuta has some of Indonesia's best beaches and surf spots. Less than half an hour from the airport, visitors are attracted by the stunning expanse of quiet beaches nearby that offer something for everyone. Now so much more than the surf town that first brought visitors to Lombok's southern beaches, Kuta has a coastline of almost a dozen bays with wide beaches, rugged hills and a headland backed by lush tropical vegetation.
Gili Tawangan
The party island with upscale dining options, great
beaches and lots happening. The largest and most
popular of the Gili Islands. There are no
cars allowed anywhere on the island and
local planning rules have prevented the building of
multi-storey properties higher than the tree
line.
Gili Trawangan is a fantastic dive
location and also has great snorkelling straight
from the shore.
Gili Meno
The smallest and quietest of the Gili Islands. This is a perfect spot to get away from it all. Very popular as a romantic getaway for honeymooners. Casual dining options abound with plenty of choices for BBQ fresh seafood served up by the beach. The island is less than two miles long and you can walk around the entire coast in two hours. The stunning white beaches and relaxed atmosphere make this a favourite location for couples.
The best things to do in and around Lombok Indonesia - chosen for you
Go underwater in the Gili Islands
Be dazzled by the underwater life in the pristine waters around the Gili islands. Take the opportunity to go swimming with turtles, rays and sharks for the ultimate aquatic experience. The east coast of Gili Meno and Gili Air offers some of the best diving in Indonesia. You can also get a boat out to some truly special dive sites nearby.
Surf Kuta
In the south of Lombok is the famous surf spot of Kuta. There are miles of largely untouched beaches and some incredible breakers. One for the experienced surfer, or just to go and watch if you don't want to catch a wave yourself. West of Kuta, there are several spectacular beaches to explore. Closest is the lovely Are Goleng, followed by Mawum with calm waters great for swimming. Mawi is recommended for surfing and, further along, Selong Blanak is a great place for novices to learn to surf in the safe waters.
Climb a volcano
Rinjani is the second highest volcano in all of Indonesia. It is a strenuous climb, but you will be rewarded with a view that makes it all worthwhile. Segara Anak lake at the top of the mountain is a stunning sight. The shortest trek to the rim of the crater will take two days and three days are required if you descend the crater to the lake. Stop off at Air Kalak Hot Springs, just 200 metres from the main campsite. The waters are supposed to have medicinal properties due to the high mineral content At the base of the volcano, the national park has several beautiful waterfalls.
Take in the view from Bukit Pergasingan
If two days climbing a volcano is too much, then Bukit Pergasingan is an easier option that also provides stunning scenery. The hill sits 1,700 metres above sea level in the village of Simbalun. You can look out across the rice fields in one of the most scenic spots in all of Indonesia.
Amazing waterfalls
There are numerous picturesque waterfalls across Lombok. One of the most famous, and rightly so, is Tiu Kelep Waterfall in the north of the island, deep in the jungle. Found by Senaru Village, hiking to the waterfall will take around 45 minutes to an hour. As you approach the 45 metre falls, you'll hear the roar of water first and then feel the cool mist spraying from the waterfall. There's a beautiful pool at the base of the fall where you can take a dip and cool off in the crystal clear water after your walk.
Party on Gili Trawangan
This island is famous for its nightlife. It was a big backpacker destination in the 1990s but has since gone dramatically upscale, although the upbeat party vibe still remains. Sama Sama is a hip lively spot that attracts a cool crowd.
Find the secret Gili
We've already said there are three Gili Islands, but west of those is another island, sometimes referred to as the 'Secret Gili'. Gili Layar, as it is also known, is a real off the grid low key location, even more so than little Gili Meno. Locals say the snorkelling is among the best in Lombok, so if you love to be in an underwater world, then Gili Layar should be on your list.
Cycle Seggigi
You'll cycle beside power white sand beaches, tropical palm groves and lush rice paddies that stretch along the western coast of Lombok. Take time to stop at some of the traditional villages you pass by on your route and see how the locals live.
Enter the dragon
It is just a short boat ride from Lombok to the Komodo National park where you can trek to see the famed Komodo Dragon in its natural environment.
Sunbathe on Selong Belanak Beach
On the south coast of Lombok, this is one of the best and prettiest beaches on the island. Pristine golden sand stretches around a wide expanse of bay. Hire a surfboard if you are feeling active or just relax on the beach. There are also a number of local food stalls selling fresh coconuts and delicious but simple rice and noodle dishes.
Visit Namada Water Park
Surrounded by lush gardens the park mirrors the shape
of the famous Mount Rinjai volcano.
Built in 1727 at the behest of King
Anak Agung Gede Ngurah Karang Asem, the park is a
sacred spiritual retreat for Hindus.
The natural springs and impressive architecture make
this well worth a visit.
Take a boat to the Sekotong Islands
Much less well known than the Gili Islands but equally as spectacular are the Sekotong Islands.You'll feel miles away from the crowds of Bali. You can visit on a quick day trip from Lombok. The snorkelling direct from the white sand beaches is excellent.
See Tetebatu Village
A distinct change of pace from the beach vibes that
pervade most of Lombok, Tebebatu Village is often
compared to Ubud in neighbouring Bali.
Set among the same type of green rice fields that
stretch almost as far as the eye can see, it is a
great spot to learn more about the local culture of
Lombok and its people, the Sasak.
Almost make sure you pick up some souvenirs and
gifts from the traditional handicraft markets.
Learn about the local culture
Take a trip to Beleg Village to learn about the Sasak
traditions and culture. The village itself is
believed to date back to the 14th century.
You'll see traditional houses and gazebos known
as Berugak as the village has hardly changed this
century.
It has been preserved to educate visitors about the
traditional Sasak way of life and is a unique
opportunity to get a glimpse back into a past that
is disappearing fast.
Visit a Pearl farm
Lombok is famous for its cultivated pearls.
Autore Pearl Farm offers a tour for visitors to
learn about the process as well as pick up beautiful
pearl gifts and products.
