Forget Bali! Lombok is a more chilled paradise
Lombok is a hidden gem compared to its neighbor Bali. I found it to be so much more relaxed, with fewer tourists and a laid-back vibe that made the trip feel like a true escape. The beaches are beautiful, especially the ones on the south coast. What really blew me away were the sunsets – they were absolutely stunning, casting vibrant colors over the ocean.
The locals are incredibly friendly, and the island still has a sense of authenticity that I loved. I also enjoyed exploring the waterfalls in the rainforest and hiking up Mount Rinjani, though that’s for the adventurous.
A great tip is to rent a scooter to get around – it gives you the freedom to explore the less touristy parts of the island. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride on some roads. Overall, Lombok’s slower pace, natural beauty, and peacefulness made it one of my favorite trips.

Selong Belanak at Sunset is Beautiful in Lombok 🇮🇩
My trip to Selong Belanak Beach in Lombok for sunset was unforgettable. The wide stretch of white sand and calm waters made it a peaceful spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon. Surfers dotted the waves, adding to the scenic beauty. For the best experience, arrive early to grab a good spot, bring snacks or grab some from local vendors, and stay until dusk when the sky turns vibrant. Renting a scooter is the easiest way to get there, and don’t forget a camera for those perfect sunset shots!

Best in Lombok
El bazar is an experience not to be missed. The fresh seafood, their preparations and the vibe of the place is very memorable. The menus is filled with absolutely amazing food, the quality is so high and the chefs know what they are doing. I was surprised with the extensive list of wines too. I mean who thought someone would do that in lombok.
At dinner, we tasted some truly new flavors. A good change from all the local food we had been eating this far. All the dishes were really refined and all had a special twist to them. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is great and the music is amazing too. Beautiful place and experience altogether. I would recommend people dining here at least once.

Scope for Improvement
This was one of those places with everything looking good, from the good, juices to the layout. But nothing convinces you or brings you back. I mean sure some of the breakfast items were decent. I visited them 3 times because it was the nearest and most reliable for wifi to get work done.
However all those extremely gorgeous looking dishes that I ordered, I can't remember any being very impressive. So there is some scope for improvement. I think it's still nice for a visit. Stick to fruits and non bread dishes. They are likely to be fresh.

Tucked away from the main
The coffee and thyme restaurant is slightly tucked away from the options on the tourist Street. This helps with the prices and also tends to be a lot quieter. What it lacks in the form of views, it makes up with affordability and decent options. It even has some vegan variations, although a friend of mine who tried it wasn't very impressed.
I have eaten breakfast, lunch and had coffee with desserts while hanging out with friends. With taxes added the price does compare very well with all the other places on the island. The breakfast options are nice. I tried the Gili toast which is banana bread served with fruits. Coffee was alright too.

Naturally beautiful of Sembalun village, Lombok 🇮🇩
#naturalbeauty
Everybody knows Sembalun Village and it will be their top destination especially if you are going to do hiking activity.
Sembalun village is renowned as the first stop for taking rest after a long ride or drive from the city.
The hikers usually stay a night or even more to first enjoy the vibes of the village, mingle with locals and do locals things here such as strawberry harvesting and take a sip of local's coffee.
How to get there:
Either you take a plane or boat, you will need to arrive at Mataram City, the capital city of West Nusa Tenggara province. You may take a rest for a while or stay a night in the city. After, you will need to drive a car or ride a hike to the village which will take about two hours trip. If you are not going to do hiking activity to the Rinjani Mountain, then I suggest you to spend more than a night here. The vibe here is so quiet, peaceful, relaxing and calm which will lead you to the nature admiring. Anywhere you stay, you will be greeted by the mountains. You feel like home, i guarantee!
📍Sembalun Village, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

An island for beaches and mountains.
#islandtours
So we did a lot of exploring in Bali. Over the years several trips. I wanted to head somewhere not too far just at the same time quiet and peaceful with less people around. Also, do some hiking. Lombok perfectly fits the bill. First off, it can also be clubbed with Bali because only an hour’s flight away from Bali. I visited amazing waterfalls, trekked Mount Rinjani, and explored the south coast near Kuta Lombok.
According to me the best way is to rent a car or hire a taxi at the port or airport. If you make it up there just after lunch that is perfect timing, you will have time to go explore Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfall. These two waterfalls are just a short walk from most of the accommodations in Senaru and are both beautiful spots in the Lombok Jungle. It’s a great way to kick off your Lombok
Mount Rinjani was always an exciting prospect for me so the next day we had an early start with our hiking boots. At 3,726m the summit is an incredible and difficult journey but so rewarding. There are several ways to hike Mount Rinjani and depending on which route is open and which you decide to hike it can take anyway from 2 to 4 days. We spent a day lazing around at the resort and recovering from sore calves and thighs. But it was all worth it. #islandtrip #100waysoftravel #lombok #indoensia

The lesser known gem
#indonesiatrip
While Bali steals the show when it comes to islands in Indoensia. There is an island that is quieter and prettier in terms of beaches and less tourist crowd. It's Lombok.
While not as developed or easy to get around as Bali. It has its own appeal. It may lack the culture aspect that Bali does best but the beaches you can find on lombok. And the sunset view points are simt amazing. As an individual trip by itself or combine It with Bali. It's a short flight away. Friendly locals and decent pricing.
