Situated to the east of Bali, Lombok Island is a lesser-known tourist destination in Indonesia which offers a variety of natural attractions and activities without the throngs of tourists. The island is known for its dreamy beaches, laidback resorts, and diverse water sports activities like snorkelling, diving, and surfing. Located not far from Singapore in Indonesia’s West Nusa Tenggara province, Lombok Island is a treat for visitors looking for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Lombok offers up its rustic charms with untainted beaches and spectacular ocean views. At Kuta Beach, you can kick back and relax on the pristine white sand to enjoy views of the pearlescent turquoise sheen of the ocean. For a different perspective of nature, you can head up to Merese Hill for a magnificent view of the sprawling coasts against the glowing sunset. Don’t forget to catch a glimpse of the island’s culture at a traditional village in Lombok. Known for its raised woven huts and traditional textiles, these villages are representative of the native Sasak people, who make up 85% of the residents at Lombok.
While at Lombok, one cannot miss visiting the Gili Islands, the group of small islands off the northwest of Lombok. The islands are popular diving spots, which give tourists the chance to witness fascinating marine life like sea turtles and coral reefs. You can pick up snorkelling to explore the underwater landscape, or try your hands at surfing the breaks at Gili. As a lesser-known destination, Gili Islands often sport emptier beaches. So, if you’re lucky, you can have the whole beach as your playground.
