Lombok is an island best described as “a rough diamond”, this makes reference to its beauty, serenity and untouched, still rural and unpolished areas. Lombok lies between the two famous tourist attractions that are the islands of Bali and Komodo. Lombok in addition is safe and convenient for holidaymakers. It is home to a number of unique cultures and traditions, with influences from Balinese, Javanese, Bugis and Arab traditions and communities.
Lombok can be accessed from Bali by plane, fast boat and ferry. Flights are available daily. While “slow” ferries are available every hour between Bali and Lombok, “fast” boats run multiple times a day. The ferry takes 4 hours and leaves from Padang Bay Harbour in Bali and arrives at Lembar Harbour in Lombok. Fast boats leave also from Padang Bay Harbour in Bali and arrive at Bangsal or Sengiggi Harbour in Lombok.
The landscape, diverse culture, friendly people and un-spoilt tourist attractions act as a powerful magnet to tempt visitors from far and wide. They come to dive the coral reefs on the ocean floor of the Gili’s, hike to the top of majestic Rinjani, observing the amazing natural charm along the way. Lombok is gradually gaining a place in the hearts of pioneering tourists both domestic and foreign.
Lombok also offers distinctive products such as hand weaving and pottery, which can certainly be a memorable souvenir for friends, relatives and someone you love.
