The vibes in Lombok are equally upbeat, though it’s less crowded than its smaller but livelier neighbor Bali. The two make Western Indonesia a traveler’s paradise with their lush landscapes and thrilling adventures.
But while Bali is for those who like to chase an active nightlife, Lombok is meant for those inclined towards a more relaxed and tranquil vacation. Because it is less touristy, the island draws fewer crowds, keeping some of its beautiful areas intact. Its main attractions are the secluded and dreamy beaches, especially in the Gilis or Gili Islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. They are popular for scuba diving, swimming and other activities. Mount Rinjani is another attraction in Lombok that you should visit for its magnificence. It is the second highest volcano in the country and can be explored through guided tours. Other attractions in Lombok are Sendang Gile waterfall, Sasak Sade village and Senggigi.
Lombok has an airport that serves domestic and international flights from Jakarta, Denpasar, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Where to stay in Lombok
Click below and find the recommended hotels/hostels/house rentals in Lombok within your budget. Remember to set your own minimum/maximum pricetravel dates and sort by review rating. I often book online with these reputable booking sites below for rock bottom prices and convenient reservations.
Book earlier rather than later if you’ve already set your dates. Cheaper rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to be fully booked faster, especially during peak days such as weekends, holidays, and peak tourist seasons.
