Lombok Hotels
Lombok is situated close to Bali but is less developed as compared to Bali. But the real treasure of Lombok lies in the numerous golden sand beaches, bigger volcanoes and a far more varied landscape than in Bali. Although tourism is low key in Lombok yet it attracts many people each year. The island offers various water sports and adventures including snorkeling, hiking, surfing and diving.
One of the most popular spots in Lombok is the Gili Islands, which is surrounded by coral reefs and diving here is a great sport. The island is located on the North West coast of Lombok. There are basically three islands, the Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. You can reach here by taking the fast boat services from Bali and the local boat services from Lombok. The main feature of all the three islands is the crystal clear water, the white sandy beaches, which are never crowded, colored fished in the coral reefs and the pleasure of snorkeling. There are almost 6000 variety of marine life inhabiting the coral reefs.
The Kuta beach in South Lombok is famous for its long stretch of white sands, the deep blue sea and is surrounded by rugged mountains. It is a great place for surfing and the beaches are almost void of people. So if you are looking to spend some quiet time then this is the place to be. The one place you can’t possibly miss is the Gunung Rinjani National Park with Mt. Rinjani being the 2nd highest volcanic peak at an elevation of 12,224 ft.
