Solo travel

I loved being in Lombok. It was safe, respectful and so worldly. Surfing was so fun and everyone was just so friendly and wanting to socialize. It was a great digital nomad community. I felt some amazing friends I will keep for life.

Group travel

We travelled in a 3 people (women) group. We stayed in a hotel with a pool and breakfast included for 10€ per night /person. We had a great experience, we rented scooters to see more of the island and we also took a snokling tour to the three gili islands. Based on my experience I recommend it if you’re in Indonesia, stay a couple of days there to relax.

As a girl get tired of fast urban lifestyle, I would say the Lombok is a paradise for me. If you are also a nature lover additive with every sunset/sunrise/echo of wave, surfing/diving beginner, young women without enough budget, and able to ride the motorcycle, Lombok would be the most fit able city among asia. For surfing beginners, Lombok provide sufficient surfing device and lessons for multiple levels with moderate pace wave ensuring moderate time to reflect. However, I do not suggest traveller who cannot ride motorcycle or car visit here since the transportation is kind of weak. Just a personally general experience and feeling about Lombok, for y’all info, hope would be helpful. And I am willing to provide more detailed info, just pm me
