Lombok & Gili Islands

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

5-7 nights recommendedMay-September (dry season)Plan this chapter →

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.

We also reach Selong Belanak beach and the Gili islands, arriving via Lombok (LOP).
