Welcome
to Lombok and Puri Saron in Senggigi !!
Lombok
retains all its pristine beauty and features some of the most
spectacular geology on the planet. Easily reached by ferry
(2 hours) or airplane (20 minutes) from Bali. Lombok has stretches
of superb natural beach, fascinating local villages, ancient
temples and palaces.
The hotel is beautiful located next to the beach and just
a couple of minutes from Senggigi centre.
Senggigi consists of a number of small black sand bays and
has a reputation for stunning sunsets. Being the oldest of
Lombok’s tourist areas Senggigi has a good range of
restaurants, shops and local markets, but while Senggigi is
the main tourist destination it is by no means crowded. |

Gili
Island
Off
the North-west coast of Lombok are three small coral
fringed islands. The Gili’s (means Island in Lombok)
are famous for their crystal clear waters , white beaches
and great snorkelling and diving. The islands are small
and the only mode of transport is by cidomo so the pace
is slow and very relaxed. Ideal for those looking for
a tropical island getaway. |

Gili
Trawangan
Trawangan
is the largest of the Gili’s and was the first
Island to attract visitors. Gili Trawangan offers great
dive trips to some excellent sites in deeper water.
There are a number of good dive shops offering dives
to experienced divers and those wanting to learn. Gili
Trawangan has the reputation as the party island and
at night there is always something happening at one
of the many restaurants or bars. |

Gili
Meno
This
island has a beautiful white beach , excellent coral
including rare blue coral just offshore.
If you are lucky you can see the turtles and of course
al kind of beautiful coloured fishes when snorkelling
through the crystal clear water. |

 |
|
Gili
Air
The
smallest of the three islands, Gili Air is also the
quietest and less developed than its neighbours. The
white beach around Gili Air is quiet and deserted,
a stroll round the island will lake less than 45 minutes.
Gili Air is the only island offering air-conditioned
accommodation and hot water. |

Kuta
Lombok's
Kuta doesn't have the buzz and millions of tourists
of Bali's, but there are big plans to develop a large
stretch of the south coast with luxury hotels, so it's
probably better to visit now rather than later. Still,
outside of the main tourist season in August, Kuta is
quiet and very laid back. Pantai Segar is around 2km
east of Kuta, and if you climb the enormous rock you'll
be rewarded with great views of the surrounding countryside,
especially in the early morning. There's fantastic surfing,
especially at Gerupak, about 7km east of town, and you
can get there by local fishing boat. |

Gunung
Rinjani
Rinjani
(3726m/12,221ft) is the highest mountain in Lombok.
It's an active volcano - it last erupted in 1995 - and
a popular destination for hikers and locals making pilgrimages
to the hot springs located on the north-eastern side
of the caldera. The springs are thought to have amazing
curative powers. A lake is 600m below the rim of the
crater, and a relatively new cone, Gunung Baru has grown
out of one side. Four-day treks to the caldera are common,
but care should be taken as the tracks are often slippery. |

Ampenan,
Mataram, Cakranegara & Sweta
Although
officially four separate towns, Ampenan, Mataram, Cakranegara
and Sweta virtually merge to form a 'city' on Lombok.
Mataram is the administrative capital; Cakranegara the
commercial centre; Sweta is the transport terminal and
site of the island's largest market; and Ampenan, once
the central port, is the prime location for budget accommodation
and food. |

|
Senggigi
Located
on a series of sweeping bays, Senggigi has become the
most developed tourist area on Lombok. Despite a definite
gearing to the upmarket traveller, there are still cheaper
places to stay, and the fine beaches and snorkelling
make it worth the hunt. After you've soaked up the last
UV rays and witnessed another magnificent sunset over
the Lombok Strait, you'll find this is the only spot
in Lombok with any nightlife. |
