7 Places to Visit in Lombok + Things To Do

The vibes in Lombok are equally blissful, although it is less crowded than its smaller but more vibrant neighbor Bali. The two make west Indonesia a haven for travelers with their luscious sights and exciting adventures.

But while Bali is for those who love chasing an active nightlife, Lombok is meant for those inclined for a more relaxed and peaceful vacation. Since it is less touristic, the island draws fewer crowds, keeping some of its beautiful areas untouched. Its main attractions are secluded, dreamy beaches, particularly in The Gilis or The Gili Islands—Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. They are famous for scuba diving, swimming, and other activities. Mount Rinjani is another Lombok highlight you should visit for its magnificence. It’s the second-highest volcano in the country and can be explored through guided tours. Other attractions in Lombok are Sendang Gile Waterfall, Sasak Village Sade, and Senggigi.

Lombok has an airport that serves domestic and international flights from Jakarta, Denpasar, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
