Getting to the Gilis
The fastest and easiest way to reach the Gilis from Bali is by fast boat. Alternatively, fly to Lombok and transfer to the Gilis from the mainland. Explore both these options below.
Getting Around
Getting to the Airport: Lombok Taxi (Blue Bird) is the most convenient taxi operator throughout Lombok and will drop passengers directly in front of the departure terminal. Note: Lombok Taxi (Bluebird) cannot pick up passengers from inside the airport grounds.
About Lombok
Lombok – unspoiled natural beauty, stunning uncrowded beaches and laid-back charm defines the island’s essence… Just a brief 40-minute flight east of Bali, Lombok is the new Indonesian destination and a haven for those seeking the pleasures of an authentic tropical island getaway.
West Lombok
Pura Narmada (or Narmada Temple), around 10 km east of Cakranegara in Narmada, was created circa 1805 as a replica of Gunung Rinjani and Segara Anak, the lake within Rinjani's crater.The gardens at Narmada are beautifully maintained and surround the pools and lake.
Kuta & Southcoast Lombok
Located around 60 km south of Mataram, Kuta (sometimes spelt Kute) is the main town and tourism centre on the south coast of Lombok, and is the gateway for exploring the fantastic south coast and the many places of interest in the region.
Southwest Lombok
Southwest Lombok... a meandering coastline of pristine white sand beaches and thirteen small islands - the Southwest Gilis - floating in the sparkling turquoise waters just offshore.
North Lombok
There’s more to the north coast of Lombok than climbing Mt Rinjani... for those looking for a change of pace in sublime natural surroundings, a few days in the north is a relaxing and rewarding escape.
Central Lombok
Lombok is divided into four governmental regions: West, Central, East and North Lombok regency. The south of the island, except for those areas bordering the west and east coasts, are therefore classified as “Central Lombok”
East Lombok
The east of the island is the least visited and developed area of Lombok, although there are large towns and a thriving local population. Most people visit the area to catch inter-island ferries across to neighbouring Sumbawa, en-route to the islands of Komodo and Flores in the east.
