LOMBOK


Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Lombok means 'chili pepper' in Javanese. It's a small island, slightly smaller than Bali, with untouched white sand beaches the whole way around it. The 3 towns in the west, Ampenan, Mataram, and Cakranegara, are almost all one continuous town 6 km long. There's an intact Balinese culture in the western part with amazing temples. Though this lush non-commercialized island is just beginning to be discovered, tourists and travelers are still a rarity. Everywhere you go on Lombok people stop and stare; sometimes whole villages full of kids trail after you. It's best not to believe the stories of black magic, etc. that the Balinese tell about Lombok; they just don't want to loose your patronage to their sister island.
