The Lombok Guide
The Gili Guide
This is Lombok!
Lombok – unspoiled natural beauty, stunning uncrowded beaches and laid-back charm defines the island’s essence…
Crossing the Wallace Line
When travellers make the boat crossing between Bali and Lombok, they probably don’t realise they are not only crossing one of the deepest bodies of water in the world, but also crossing a transitional zone between Asia and Australia.
Who's in the Kitchen?
Lombok is proudly home to some outstanding restaurants and the culinary scene is expanding all the time – from simple cafés serving traditional Sasak dishes filled with the tantalising flavours of Indonesian spices, to innovative restaurants where renowned chefs curate menus that redefine the boundaries of taste.
MotoGP 2023 Success!
The second annual Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2023, held at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit near Kuta in Central Lombok, from 13 to 15 October 2023 exceeded all expectations, according to race organisers.
Best in Lombok!
Imagine soaring high in the sky, legs dangling below your body, as you gaze down on aquamarine waters, long deserted white beaches, and lush green rice paddies. It is like flying over paradise!
Lombok offers exactly that experience, regardless of whether you’ve ever taken to the skies before.
For tandem jumps, head to Prabu Hill in Kuta. This popular take-off spot is visited by thousands of adrenaline seekers every year and jumps are offered by trained experts who will control everything, allowing you to simply enjoy the sun in your face and the stunning views below. For the fearful, the view more than makes up for it as the glorious Mount Rinjani creeps into view.
Best in the Gilis!
This thrilling new adventure allows you to hold on to a special Subwing board as you are towed by a boat, creating the feeling of flying underwater!
The boat travels at a gentle pace and you can control the direction of the board, getting as adventurous as you like with turns and spins. The trip allows you to snorkel with a mask and goggles over the reefs, gliding and diving with ease. No experience is needed.

Getting Around the Island
Lombok is proudly home to some outstanding restaurants and the culinary scene is expanding all the time – from simple cafés serving traditional Sasak dishes filled with the tantalising flavours of Indonesian spices, to innovative restaurants where renowned chefs curate menus that redefine the boundaries of taste.
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.
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
Lombok is proudly home to some outstanding restaurants and the culinary scene is expanding all the time – from simple cafés serving traditional Sasak dishes filled with the tantalising flavours of Indonesian spices, to innovative restaurants where renowned chefs curate menus that redefine the boundaries of taste.
Central Lombok
When the main tourism areas in Lombok get too busy, a day trip across the island is a great way to get away from the crowds and see the “real face” of the island.
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.
Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan, or “Gili T” as its affectionately known, is the largest and most developed of the three Gilis, with the greatest range of facilities and activities.
Gili Meno
Gili Meno in contrast, exudes serenity, with its pristine white sands and turquoise waters creating an intimate haven for those seeking seclusion and romance.
Gili Air
Gili Air has a relaxed, friendly and attractive bohemian vibe, quite distinct from the other islands. It offers a good balance between the buzz of Gili T and the chill of Gili Meno, and draws guests to return year after year.
