Discover Lombok

The three car-free islands of Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno are traveled exclusively by bicycle and horse-drawn cart, and depending on the island offer either lively nightlife or calm, palm-fringed dream beaches for snorkeling.

At 3,726 meters, Mount Rinjani is Indonesia's second-highest volcano and draws experienced hikers on multi-day trekking tours to the turquoise crater lake Segara Anak, surrounded by steaming hot springs.

The coastal town of Kuta Lombok, not to be confused with the same-named town on Bali, captivates with powder-white bays, reliable waves for surfers of all levels and a noticeably calmer, more authentic atmosphere than touristy Bali.

In the traditional village of Sade, the Sasak, the indigenous people of Lombok, still live today in thatched rice-barn houses and weave handmade ikat textiles that visitors can purchase directly on site.

Lombok Praya Airport is served several times a day by domestic flights from Bali (Denpasar), taking only about 25 minutes. Alternatively, fast boats run several times a day from Bali directly to the offshore Gili Islands.
