Lombok & Gili Islands

Bali's quieter neighbour — volcano, surf, and car-free coral islands.

Courtesy of The Sira, Marriott International

Lombok is Bali without the crowds — Mount Rinjani rises to 3,726m, the three Gili islands are car-free coral atolls where horses and bicycles are the only transport, turtles swim in the shallows, and sunsets are Bali-level without the traffic.
