Just lies 25 minutes from its
celebrated sister Island of Bali by flight or 4 hours by public
ferry, Lombok has various attractions for those who are in search
for a memorable holiday. In the northern coastline, the unspoilt
beaches forested by thick palm trees dominate the landscape.
Senggigi, the main tourist resort area in Lombok, for instance, is
amazing and offers various range of villa categories, from one bed
room till 4 bed rooms such as The Sheraton Villas, The Pool Villa
Club, The Floating Villas, The Santosa Villas and Resort, The Qunang
and Qusia Villas, The Puri Mas Villas, The Harmony Villas, The
Oberoi Villas, The Novotel Villas, The Imaj Villas, The Alang-Alang
Villas and many others. Three-small-island, better known as Gili
Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan are also heaven for either
beginner or professional divers. Their underwater beauties inspire a
next vacation to Lombok.
Driving further north, you can experience a unique way of life of
the Sasak indigenous who live in the simple traditional houses in
the rustic village of Segenter. This mountain tribe compound is not
built for tourists, but is open widely to tourist, though. So they
are not commercial as many other tourist places through-out the
island.
For hard trekkers, the highest and holiest mountain for both
Baliness and Sasakness, Mt. Rinjani (3.726 m), is a perfect choice
to escape from complicated daily routine. 3 days 2 nights hiking to
the summit is quite a bit tiring, but to enjoy the fascinating
sunrise from the summit is worthwhile. Spending a night by the lake
shore of Segara Anak is also enjoyable and unforgettable.
Lombok is also gains more popularity amongst the young surfers for
its various surf breaks along the southern coast of Kuta Beach. Many
hotels In Kuta Beach, therefore, provides and arranges surfing trip
to the surfing point around.
Aside from the natural attractions above, Lombok is also well known
by its fine handicraft and jewelry such as traditional woven fabric,
pottery, furniture, and sea pearls.
They are made in the best and finest quality by local people and
that they can meet the export quality standard. This is also one of
the reason why coming to Lombok.
We can eventually assure you that you can absolutely experience more
than we can tell. See you around in Lombok!.
RICH BLENDS OF CULTURE AND TRADITION
Discovering Lombok is like traveling in Bali 15 years ago, the beach

people are pain fully shay.
Where Islamic SASAKS mingle harmoniously with Balinese Hindus in a
mix that enhances the island’s cultural and traditional attraction.
Where the SASAK costumes and rituals focus on lavish marriage
ceremonies and colorful circumcision celebrations.
Where eager crowds line the street for a wedding procession that can
be seen on every Sunday afternoon. Accompanied by a full gamelan
orchestra.
Where young ladies prior to circumcision are carried in procession
astride colorful wooden horses galloping in time to a crescendos of
musical rhythms.
Where ritual mock battles are staged between warriors with staves
and shields.
Where female dancers, enacting a “LOVE” dance, select male partners
for short duet to roars of laughter from the audience.
Where the minority HINDU descendents of the Balinesse, who created a
“NEW BALI” by building temples and places, participate in ceremonies
and ritual with as much devotion and energy as across the waters on
the neighboring island.
Where coming upon lavish HINDU processions or ceremonies, or
visiting shrines and temples perfumed with the scent of frangipanis
and incense, you would swear you were in Bali.
Where almost everyday of the year some form of traditional ceremony
or ritual is held.
