Lombok's south-coast surf town, 20 minutes from the airport: horseshoe bays such as Tanjung Aan, Selong Belanak and Mawun, surf at Gerupuk, Merese hill for sunset and the Mandalika MotoGP circuit. Much quieter than Bali's Kuta. Lombok is mostly Muslim, so dress more modestly away from the beach and expect fewer bars.

Highlights

  • Sunset from Merese Hill
  • Tanjung Aan beach
  • Surf lesson at Selong Belanak
  • Gerupuk boat surf
  • Sade Sasak village
  • Mawun Beach swim
  • Mandalika circuit

When to go

Best time: April – October

  • Idul Fitri (Lebaran) homecoming — The end of Ramadan, when tens of millions travel home (mudik). Trains, flights and the Java–Bali and Bali–Lombok ferries sell out a month ahead and fares hit the legal cap; Jakarta empties and some restaurants close. In 2027 it falls two days after Nyepi, so the second week of March is the hardest of the year to travel in Indonesia. During Ramadan before it, Lombok and Java restaurants may be screened off by day.
