Lombok is a very small island consisting of 4 districts, West Lombok Regency, Central Lombok Regency, East Lombok Regency, North Lombok Regency and 1 City of Mataram, NTB Province, smaller than Bali with a population that is not too crowded. It is estimated that only 4 million people inhabit this island.

Only 80% smaller than Bali, Lombok Island has tourist locations that are very close to each other. I have written a lot of interesting places on Lombok Island that you can get to know more closely through the Gerbang Wisata Blog Post that myself wrote on this page.

1. Pink Beach in East Lombok Regency

This place can be accessed via 2 routes, namely land and sea routes or by boat trip. On the way to the location, to be honest, there are not many interesting things to see.

After arriving at the location, this place immediately soothes the heart on the boat trip we will pass many small islands Gili Marengke, Pasir Island, Gili Kambing and Gili Petelu, 3 of which are located close together.

If you want to go to this place, you can go by land or by a boat trip through Tanjung Luar port which is a fish market, vehicles can be parked here then take a boat trip to the pink beach location.

2. Gili Kondo in East Lombok Regency

This island is part of an archipelago that is close to other islands including Gili Kondo, Gili Kapal, Gili Bidara and far to the north there are Gili Lampu and Gili Petagan. If we start this trip from the direction of Mataram or Senggigi city, there are not too many interesting things on the way.

Except before arriving at Pasir Putih harbor, you can stop by the ancient tree “Lian Langka” which has a diameter as big as a subsidized house. This location is quite instagrammable for a photo location.

Upon arrival at Gili Kondo, you can do snorkeling activities, if you use travel services, you can order a package to the surrounding islands, you can take a package to visit 2 islands or visit 3 islands or type in Google Gili Kondo Tour

3. Gili Nanggu in West Lombok Regency

This place is very beautiful, very popular with European visitors, most tourists from Italy, France, the Netherlands and others. If you visit Gili Nanggu, it means you can also visit other Gili that are lined up nearby.

There are 4 Gili lined up from north to south, namely: Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong, Gili Sudak and Gili Kedis which is very small in size. Kedis (meaning small)

Gili Nanggu is the main visiting location, here is where foreigners sunbathe and snorkel. Gili Sudak has a seafood restaurant which is usually for tourists who take a trip package, this is where they have lunch or at a floating restaurant near Gili Kedis.

Gili Kedis itself is a place to take pictures. You can search for tour packages to this location on Google Gili Nanggu Tour.

4. Gili Layar in West Lombok Regency

Traveling to this place will be very enjoyable on the way, we will explore the beautiful Sekotong beach along the beach. It seems like we just want to get off the vehicle to take pictures.

You will start the core of your goal to visit Gili Layar Island through Tembowong port, around Gili Layar there are many Gilis, including; Gili Gede (the largest and most striking), Gili Rengit, Gili Anyaran, Gili Asahan and Gili Goleng.

This place offers the beauty of a marine park and a very good view in any direction, if you want to visit Gili Layar using a travel agent service, you can use the Google search for Snorkeling Gili Layar and Gili Rengit Sekotong.

5. Gili Trawangan Interesting Places in North Lombok Regency

Gili Trawangan Island is a interesting destination on the island of Lombok, there are many hotels, bungalows or lodgings for backpackers. Very crowded with foreign tourists, almost 85% according to my estimate who has worked in Gili Trawangan for 5 years.

Very supported by transportation facilities using fast boats on the Bali – Lombok route, Speed ​​boats from Teluk Nara port, Teluk Kodek port and Public wooden boats from Bangsal to Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air.

The facilities and infrastructure are very adequate, the night situation is very lively with a party atmosphere and live music in every cafe, we will not see the side of the lives of poor people on this island, the atmosphere is cheerful and happy if you want to visit this island you can plan a daily trip Gili Trawangan

6. Kuta Mandalika Beach in Central Lombok Regency

This location has become a national priority to be promoted by the government, becoming a foreign tourist destination. Of course, to the location of the world motorcycle racing event. The Moto GP circuit was built here. In the past, this location was only known as Kuta Lombok Beach to emphasize that Kuta Beach is not only in Bali.

The beach is very beautiful and enchanting, this area includes several beach locations that were previously visited by many tourists which are now united into a “Special Economic Zone” zone including Tanjung Aan Beach, Bukit Merese, Seger Beach and of course Kuta Mandalika Beach itself. This place is very beautiful especially during the rainy season, the atmosphere at the location becomes green and shady.

It’s good for you to stay 1 week here, you can rent a motorbike or MTB bike to explore the location. If you stay in Senggigi or Mataram city, you can plan to come here through a travel agent. Type a search on Google Kuta Mandalika Beach Tour, I highly recommend using a guide service, otherwise you will just come and spend a lot of time not knowing where to go and not finding the right place to visit.

7. Lingkoq Datu Cliff in East Lombok Regency

This cliff is very beautiful for photography when people are standing on the edge of the cliff. Lingkoq Datu, actually the name refers to 7 wells that are considered sacred near the cliff. “Lingkok” means well and Datu means “government” or village rules maybe that’s what it means. The name of the beach is Penyisok beach.

In my opinion, the well is only a well for taking drinking water for buffalo livestock which is considered sacred by the locals. This location is not too far from Ekas beach and one way to the location of Pink Beach Lombok.

If you want to visit this location, you can use Google maps and for the exact location, you can ask the locals there or you can stop by here while taking the Ekas Beach Tour Package or Pink Beach Tour Via Land

8. Sekotong Beach in West Lombok Regency

This beach is not very popular among domestic tourists, a very beautiful beach but unfortunately there are not many accommodations that support it. Sekotong Beach is the gateway to several Gili in the waters of Sekotong.

The beach here is not very wide, there are only a few points. If you drive here you will really feel the pleasure of being blown by the wind through the very beautiful beach. This place is perfect for bikers who like to ride motorbikes to enjoy their way of life.

Along the way to Bangko-bangko, this beach is really beautiful, almost 100% white sand. From Pelangan village, turn left and you will go to Mekaki beach, here you will see a biker monument or monument. I have been here very often but recently got information that there is now a Biker monument.

Continue driving east, the terrain has changed. Previously you were driving on the edge of the beach, now you are driving on a steep hill with a view of the beach, of course, it is smoothly paved because this road is only 7 years old from now. If you want to go here, you can use Travel services, type in Google Sekotong Beach Tour

9. Tiu Kelep Waterfall in North Lombok Regency

This is the most beautiful waterfall on the island of Lombok, Tiu Kelep is often used as an icon for bottled water promotions that display video clips of the Tiu Kelep waterfall. The location is in Senaru village which is the gateway to climbing Mount Rinjani.

The location is below the valley, so we have to go down the stairs until we find the Sendang Gile waterfall first, you go up another 20 meters to continue the journey to Tiu Kelep through the forest and river connected to the Tiu Kelep waterfall.

If you want to go to Tiu Kelep, you can take a daily tour package through a travel agent. Search through Google Tiu Kelep Daily Tour, all information will be obtained through travel agent offers, from just renting a car to a complete package offer.

10. Benang Kelambu Waterfall in Central Lombok Regency

The location of this waterfall is geographically in the middle of Lombok Island, located on the southern slopes of Mount Rinjani, access to the Benang Kelambu location will cross the provincial road. After arriving at Pancor Dao village, the journey to Aik Berik village (the location of the waterfall) will cross the countryside.

As the name suggests, this waterfall is similar to a curtain of thread, to get to the location of this waterfall you have to walk 30 minutes from the parking lot. Closer to the parking lot there is also a waterfall that is more popular with local people, namely the Benang Stokel waterfall.

If you are unable to walk 30 minutes, the manager provides a motorcycle taxi service to the location of the waterfall gate, then down the rather steep stairs and it is not recommended for those aged 60 and over. If you don’t want to be confused here, just use a travel service, search for Google Benang Kelambu Daily Tour of Lombok.

11. Tiu Sekeper Waterfall in North Lombok Regency

This waterfall is the highest in Lombok, it is difficult to photograph the Tiu Sekeper waterfall slide in its entirety because it is so high. From the parking lot to the location, the journey takes 2.5 hours – 3 hours (one way) along the plantation owned by the villagers, there is only one dangerous point to the location. So be careful.

If you like hiking or hash this is perfect for you. The location is in Santong village, from the one-way parking lot you will find a twin waterfall called “Tiu Teja” only 30 minutes walk from the parking lot.

To make it easier to get to the location, it is better to use a travel agent because you have to use a guide to find the Tiu Sekeper waterfall, you have to prepare carefully because the location is very far. Local guides play a very important role here. Find the package Tiu Sekeper Hiking Tour

12. Tetebatu Village in East Lombok Regency

This village is a village located at the foot of Mount Rinjani, Tetebatu village is the same as Ubud village in Bali, of course not the same but similar and accommodation facilities will never be the same as Ubud village in Bali.

For those who like natural panoramas and like hiking, I recommend this place. We can see the beauty of Mount Rinjani when the weather is sunny and the activities of local residents farming in the fields.

The Tetebatu village hiking package is offered at every inn, because this is the only product that can be offered here with various routes offered by the people where you are staying.

13. Selong Belanak Beach in Central Lombok Regency

This beach is part of a row of beaches in South Lombok, Central Lombok Regency, starting from Kuta Mandalika to the Sekotong area, West Lombok Regency. Selong Belanak Beach has many providers of Surfing activities.

This place is the most beautiful beach of the beaches I have mentioned. Currently there are many accommodations here with future plans for many 5-star resorts on the hill to be built around Selong Belanak Beach. Get a Selong Belanak Beach Daily Tour to make your trip more comfortable and get information from the tour guide.

14. Ekas Beach in East Lombok Regency

This beach is dominated by cliffs that keep the land from being eroded by waves. The waves on Ekas beach are very popular with surfers and have become a hot spot for surfing points that recently went viral, a regent of East Lombok intervened to ward off surfers from outside East Lombok district.

Apart from the problems above, we are talking about the activities of tourism managers who offer unique tours on Ekas beach. The local people open floating restaurants on their cages. Of course, fresh lobster and fish dishes are served here. Just organize your arrival and book a place to enjoy lunch here.

If you want to come here, take a daily tour package, type in the search on Google for Ekas Beach Daily Tour. The guide will pick you up at the hotel and take you here to enjoy the beach and floating lunch on a cage far from the beach.

15. Semeti Beach in Central Lombok Regency

The location of this beach is in Selong Belanak village, which means it is not far from Selong Belanak beach, which I mentioned as the most beautiful beach on Lombok Island. Nearby is Mawi beach, which is also very beautiful and is a target location for surfers. Many foreigners who stay at Kuta beach come to Mawi beach using motorbikes and bringing surfboards.

We focus on discussing Semeti beach, which is a steep rocky beach that when seen from a distance looks like Prambanan temple on Java Island. The waves hit the rocks very hard, so many rocks are cracked by the waves. There have been several victims on Semeti beach who slipped and were hit by the waves.

16. Mangku Sakti Waterfall in East Lombok Regency

This waterfall is a continuation of the waterfall slide from Segara Anak Lake, Mount Rinjani, if you have ever climbed Rinjani via the Torean route, the river becomes the “Mangku Sakti” waterfall slide which then becomes the next waterfall until it reaches Kokok Putek (Kali Putih).

To get to the location from the asphalt road in Sajang village via a dirt road and crossing the plantation for 1.5 hours and will arrive at the location of this waterfall, you can rent a motorbike taxi to the parking lot then go down to the river on foot for 15 minutes to arrive at the Mangku Sakti waterfall and nearby there is also the Mangku Kodek slide which is good for taking pictures.

If you are interested in going here, it can be packaged into one package to Selong Hill in Sembalun Lawang which is 12 km from Sajang village. Search on Google, type Mangku Sakti Waterfall Tour, Sembalun District.

17. Pergasingan Hill in East Lombok Regency

This hill is one of those surrounding the Sembalun Valley, the best place compared to other hills, namely: Dan Daun Hill, Anak Dara Hill, Nanggi Hill, Kondo Hill, Pal Japan Hill and Pergasingan Hill is the best of all the climbing destinations.

Ideally, you should camp on Pergasingan Hill, so you can enjoy your hiking trip. Usually after lunch, you can climb Pergasingan Hill, it is estimated that you will arrive between 5 – 6 pm.

As long as it is not foggy, you will find a good day in the afternoon on Pergasingan Hill, enjoying the sunset and enjoying the Sembalun Valley with its expanse of rice fields, including Mount Rinjani will look beautiful and majestic in front of you, see the Pergasingan Hill Hiking & Camping Trip

18. Pemedengan Hill in East Lombok Regency

This hill is located in Sajang Village, behind the Sajang Village village. Here it is the same as camping on Pergasingan hill, the version without climbing. If anyone wants to go to Pergasingan hill but is no longer able to climb, I suggest going to Pemedengan hill camping side.

It’s more fun here, toilets and clean water are very easy to get, the night is not too cold, the air is cool. Every cloud and fog is parted, the view of Mount Rinjani is also very beautiful from here.

In front there is a valley and on the right side you can see the coastline, if you have arrived here tomorrow you can continue your journey to Gili Kondo to get a different atmosphere. See the 2D/1N Trip Package here or then tomorrow to Mangku Sakti waterfall and Selong Hill as an option not to Gili Kondo.

19. Kenawa Island in West Sumbawa Regency

Although this island is not part of the Lombok island area, Kenawa Island is very important for us to make a tourist destination because of its beauty and makes it fun to visit.

You plan to come here from the city of Mataram or anywhere, go directly to Kayangan port in East Lombok. It’s best to just plan to start the trip at 6 am. Try to arrive at the port at 8 am, cross 2 hours to Poto Tano port on Sumbawa island, arrive at 10 am and cross 10 minutes to Kenawa island.

Hiking and snorkeling activities on Kenawa island, then visit Paserang island in the surrounding area and if possible visit other islands. Finally, return to Poto Tano and return to Kayangan port in Lombok and this trip can be continued to Sembalun, you can stay at a hotel, camp and whatever you want to do. Just look at the Kenawa Tour Package that we have packaged for you

20. Mount Rinjani Located in All Regencies

This mountain is the second highest volcano after Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra which is still active with mild eruptions in the last decade. It is the Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR) and has been upgraded to a Geo Park or a world climbing tourist destination.

It is located in the middle of Lombok Island and is more inclined to the north, meaning that this mountain can be accessed through all regencies in Lombok. The closest access to the peak of Rinjani is via Sembalun Lawang village in East Lombok Regency. Just two weeks ago, precisely on June 21 – June 25, 2025, this mountain became the focus of national and international news for the disaster of the fall of Juliana Marin.

Climbing tourists from Brazil in the crater of Mount Rinjani at a depth of 590 meters, traveling at night to the peak, in the middle of the night trip the disaster occurred because they felt tired, rested and were told to wait at Cemara Nunggal just a few hundred meters from the peak of Rinjani and then left by his group. Be careful and plan your Rinjani mountain Trekking through us.
