Mount Rinjani & Senaru
Indonesia’s second-highest volcano: crater-rim and summit treks, a blue caldera lake and Lombok’s finest waterfalls at Senaru.
Lombok destinations
Eleven destinations in three regions — the mountain north, the south and east, and the west coast and islands.
Lombok is only about 80 kilometres across, but roads are slow and the landscapes change fast, from rainforest and rice terraces on Rinjani’s slopes to the dry hills and white bays of the south. We have grouped the island into three regions; each destination has its own overview, tours, things to see, getting-there, travel-guide and when-to-go pages.
Rinjani & the north
The volcano, its waterfalls and the cool farming valleys and foothills around it.
Sembalun Valley
A cool, high farming valley under Rinjani’s eastern wall — the summit trailhead, sunrise hills and fields of garlic and strawberries.
Tetebatu
Rice terraces, jungle waterfalls and black monkeys on Rinjani’s southern slopes — rural Lombok at walking pace.
The south & east
Surf beaches, the Mandalika area, Sasak villages and the remote east coast.
Kuta & Mandalika
Lombok’s south-coast hub: white-sand bays, the Merese hill sunset, the MotoGP circuit and a surf-town buzz.
South Coast Beaches & Surf
Selong Belanak, Mawun, Mawi and Ekas — horseshoe bays, beginner waves and world-class reef breaks either side of Kuta.
Sasak Villages & Crafts
Thatched hamlets at Sade and Ende, the weavers of Sukarara and the potters of Banyumulek — Lombok’s living Sasak culture.
Pink Beach & East Lombok
Pink-tinged sand at Tangsi, sandbanks and mangroves around Gili Kondo and Gili Kapal, and the quiet coast of Lombok’s far east.
West coast & islands
Sunset bays, the capital and the islands off the north-west and south-west.
Senggigi & the West Coast
Lombok’s original resort strip: sunset beaches facing Bali, the sea temple of Batu Bolong and the cliff road to Malimbu.
Mataram, Lingsar & Narmada
Lombok’s capital: the Islamic Center’s minarets, Balinese water palaces at Mayura and Narmada, and the shared temple of Lingsar.
The Gili Islands
Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air: three car-free coral islands off Lombok’s north-west coast, with turtles on every reef.
Sekotong & the South-West Gilis
Gili Nanggu, Sudak, Kedis and Gede — the quiet “secret Gilis” off Lombok’s south-west peninsula.
