Lombok Holidays
Indonesia's peaceful island retreat
This sleepy, laidback island is perfect for a spot of peace and tranquillity, just on the doorstep of the rustic Gili Islands.
Travellers come from far and wide to experience Lombok’s barefoot luxury and natural beauty, with the island a perfect destination for paradise honeymoons and those after a relaxing break. With many small boutique hotels dotted along the shoreline, Lombok offers the perfect oasis for those looking to escape. Away from the beach, explore the traditional Sasak villages inland for a taste of authentic culture which has remained unchanged for centuries. If you are feeling more energetic you might like to climb Mount Rinjani, or take a day trip to the beautiful Sendang Gile Waterfalls soaking up the beautiful scenery along the way.
If you want to explore more, twin your trip with a visit to Bali or the Gili Islands, or alternatively stopover in Singapore for a hit of city life.
