LOMBOK ISLAND INFORMATION
Lombok is an island in West Nusa
Tenggara province, Indonesia. It is part of the chain of the Lesser
Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the
west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is
roughly circular, with a “tail” to the southwest, about 70 km across
and a total area of about 4,725 km² (1,825 sq mi). Lombok in
Indonesia language and local Sasak people has different meaning. In
Sasak Language Lombok mean Straight and in Indonesia language
meaning is Chili.
Lombok is much more tranquil and quiet
than Bali but still has the same tropical climate and beautiful
beaches. Rock climbing, Diving, Dirt Bike Adventures, Sailing,
Surfing and Trekking are the main activities
but this doesn’t mean you can’t just relax next to your hotel pool.
There are a number of beach huts and resorts to choose from and most
are geared towards the diving community.
