What is Lombok Island best known for?
While less known than its sister island Bali, Lombok’s relatively untouched landscape is still well-known among many communities for its surfing, magnificent beaches, hikes, and more. The island is also home to Mount Rinjani, an active volcano and Indonesia’s second-highest mountain. If you have an adventurous spirit, Mount Rinjani is one of Indonesia’s most popular trekking destinations. Plus, at the foothills of Mount Rinjani lies Sendang Gile Waterfall, one of the top waterfalls in Lombok. The surrounding Gili Islands of Lombok are popular for diving and snorkelling.
Where is best to stay on Lombok?
There are stunning resorts and private villas all over the island, so the best place to stay in Lombok depends on the type of holiday you have in mind. The main tourist town is Kuta (not to be confused with the one in Bali), located in the south of the island, and is ideal for surfing, beach hopping and its growing food scene. Senggigi, located on the west coast, is also a popular tourist hub, known for its beautiful beaches, cliffside views, and sunsets.
For those who plan to trek Mount Rinjani, the humble village of Senaru is the best place to stay, plus it’s quieter, which is perfect for nature lovers.
The Gili Islands are also a must-visit when in Lombok, known for their vibrant marine life, diving, and snorkelling. Consisting of three separate, stunning islands, Gili Trawangan is known for its vibrant nightlife, Gili Air offers a more relaxed vibe, while Gili Meno is the smallest and most peaceful, ideal for honeymooners or romantic retreats.
For urban exploration, Mataram is great for those who want to experience local culture, as well as access to great shops and restaurants. Lombok also offers cultural experiences like visiting traditional Sasak villages or the Pura Lingsar temple complex.
Looking to disconnect? Selong Belanak, Tanjung, and Sire Beach offer luxury hotels and serene surroundings for a tranquil escape.
