| Lombok is a beautiful
small island just East of Bali. Unfortunately less visitors travel
to this picturesque island since the start of the Asian
crisis. Visitors can expect excellent accommodation, very
friendly people, beautiful landscape and most of the time excellent
value for money.
Lombok has excellent secluded white beaches, however most diving
and snorkeling takes place at nearby Gili Islands, which offer a
very good variety of corals and fish.
The Gili islands are very close to Senggigi, Lombok's main beach
resort. Senggigi beach stretches along several kilometers and
visitors will find beautiful white sandy beaches, and attractive
bays with mountains in the background. The countryside is most
attractive at the Northern end of Senggigi. There is a large variety
of accommodation available, suitable for every budget. Several
hotels are located in a hilly surroundings and
benefits from a white sandy beach. They offer sometimes excellent rates.
Senggigi has many dive schools and dive trips to the nearby Gili
islands are easily available. A trip to the Gili island usually
takes around an hour; therefore, the variety and high standards of
accommodation in Senggigi may form an ideal base for diving at the
Gili islands.
Kuta Lombok on the Southern part of the island offers
probably the most attractive beach, which some dive sites off the
cost.
