Getting to Lombok
By air
Lombok Praya is an international airport and can be reached directly from Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. Many domestic flights arrive daily from Bali, Java and other islands. The flight time from Bali is approximately 25 minutes, with tickets available from around IDR300,000 (airport tax included). Transfer from the airport to Villa Senang Senggigi takes around 75 minutes, dependant on traffic jams. Airport taxis can be hired at the counters near the arrival gate. If you want to avoid the hassle at the airport, we will be happy to arrange private transport for you.
By fast boat
A few reputable fast boats run between Bali and Lombok. Most of them connect Padangbai in the east of Bali with the island of Gili Trawangan to the north west of Lombok. There are, however, some other options, including boats from southeast Bali and boats to Senggigi (just 5 minutes from Villa Senang Senggigi).
Money
Plenty of money changers and ATMs can be found anywhere in Senggigi. Make sure that the money changers are licenced. Many restaurants accept credit card payments.
Health
Mataram has some good hospitals, doctors and dentists, and there are also pharmacies in Senggigi.
What to do
Lombok is less crowded than Bali and therefore the ideal place for a chilled holiday. If you just want to relax, enjoy lazing at the villa with a good book, take a swim in the pool, indulge yourself with a in-house massage or try spa treatments in one of the many inexpensive spas in Senggigi.
If you feel like being more active, there is lots to enjoy in Lombok.
Kerandangan Nature Reserve
If you like nature, visit the nearby Kerandangan Nature Reserve with designated walking trails into the jungle.
Snorkelling and diving
There are several very good sites around Lombok and its surrounding small islands (Gilis), which are famous for turtles and thousands of species of marine life.
Gili Trawangan, Meno and Air
These three small islands are rapidly becoming one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Bali and Lombok. All have spectacular white sandy beaches. There is also a strong environmental outlook on the Gili Islands, with efforts focused on reef protection, regeneration and turtle sanctuaries. Gili Meno and Gili Air are very relaxed and laid-back, with a great variety of little beachside cafes, restaurants and bars serving all tastes in local and international cuisine. Best of all, there are no cars or motorbikes to disturb the peace. Gili Trawangan is the party island, often called the new Ibiza of Indonesia. There are many other strikingly beautiful and less developed Gilis all around Lombok, offering amazing white beaches and beautiful snorkelling.
Surfing
Lombok hosts some of the best world class and beginner breaks. The area around Kuta is a surfer's paradise. Selong Belanak, Grupuk, Ekas and Bangko Bangko are some of the best-known spots. You can hire surfboards and take surfing lessons in nearby Mangsit or catch a wave at the surf point in Senggigi.
Trekking
There are several short treks to see waterfalls and other island attractions. Standing at 3726 m, Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcanic peak in Indonesia. For the people of Lombok, Sasak and Balinese alike, this mountain is a sacred place. It is a challenging, but rewarding, 3-day trek for adventurous travellers.
Shopping
Lombok is renowned for its high quality cultured sea pearls which can be found in art markets, handicraft and jewellery shops and pearl farms. Visit villages in Lombok which specialise in basket and textile weaving, wood-carving and earthenware pottery. Our villa manager will be happy to help you to arrange your holiday activities.
General information about Lombok
Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, of volcanic origin. It is part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali. The Lombok Strait marks the biogeographical division between the fauna of the Indomalayan ecozone and the distinctly different fauna of Australasia. This is is known as the Wallace Line, after Alfred Russel Wallace, who first discovered the distinction between these two major biomes.
About 3,300,000 people live on the total area of about 4,500 km2, which includes 27 islands. 85% are Sasak, whose ancestors are thought to have migrated from Java in the first millennium BC. Since the Sasak population is Moslem, the landscape is punctuated with mosques and minarets, in the traditional Sasak villages you can find the rural life of a unique culture.
Other religions in Lombok are Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity.
“A small minority of Sasaks called the Bodha (estimated population: 8,000) are mainly found in the village of Bentek and on the slopes of Gunung Rinjani. They are totally untouched by Islamic influence and worship animistic gods, incorporating some Hindu and Buddhist influences in their rituals and religious vocabulary. This group of Sasak, due in part to the name of their tribe, are recognized as by the Indonesian government” (Wikipedia)
History
The first known society on Lombok was the kingdom of Sasak, Selaparang. In 1674 the Dutch first visited Lombok and settled the easternmost part of the island, leaving the western half to be ruled by a Hindu dynasty from Bali. The Sasaks chafed under Balinese rule, and a revolt in 1891 ended in 1894 with the annexation of the entire island to the Netherlands East Indies. Since the Declaration of Independence on 17th August 1945 Lombok has been part of Indonesia.
