Tetebatu Lombok and surrounding areas
Lombok feels like Bali did 30 years ago, with scattered pockets of tourism and a lot of nothing else. You will notice the difference the moment you arrive, whether at the airport in Mataram or the port at Lembar. Traffic is about 5% of what you see in Bali and outside Senggigi, the Gili Islands and Kuta Lombok, there isn’t much tourist infrastructure. One place that is cool, tranquil and has some tourist infrastructure is Tetebatu in Central Lombok.

Gunung Rinjani and around
Lombok has one huge volcano, Gunung Rinjani (3726m), which is even taller than Bali’s Gunung Agung. Surrounded by forest, but itself consisting of bare trails and summits, Gunung Rinjani is a popular place to hike. At the top of the mountain sits Segara Anak, the mountain lake 8kms long. The slopes from the mountain cover 65kms across the north of Lombok and make a great place for some peace and quiet.

Accommodation on Gili Air
A map of Gili Air shows that most of the accommodation is on the west and south coasts. There is also a mosque on the south coast, which may be one of the reasons the local population, of 1,000 Muslims, keep a tight lid on the partying activities. Late night action is limited to 3 nights a week. Although quieter than Gili Trawangan, Gili Air still has a good choice of accommodation.

Accommodation on Gili Meno
Gili Meno off of Lombok’s NW coast, is a smaller version of its more famous neighbour, Gili Trawangan. The small sand island has no fresh water, but does have a good selection of accommodation options ranging from guest houses to modern boutique hotels. As with Gili Trawangan, most of the accommodation is located on the southern and eastern coast, with scattered places further north.
