In Lombok, Indonesia, this is a hotel that gives you a sense of well-being. All the staff are very warm and welcoming, bringing you the best stay experience. The hotel atmosphere is very good, even when you leave, you will feel reluctant to leave.
The waiter is very friendly and can remember everyone's name. All meals are served in the room, as well as afternoon tea. Its 5 minutes to go to the beach. Because its a New Years Eve, the Europeans and Americans are especially special. Next to the New Years party, the music is particularly embarrassing. Until midnight, I have experienced a European and American New Year.
There is no breakfast room, so each villa is an exclusive breakfast, delivered by someone. I also booked a private pool, small. The hotel is a wonderful feeling between the cracks in the houses. There is a hole in the old small courtyard. Lombok has a place of development and no development, which is very mixed. Lagging behind and luxury. The vehicles on the island are bicycles and carriages.
The sunset is beautiful and worth seeing. The hotel also offers free bicycles, which are very shabby but better than nothing. There is a little distance to the beach at sunset, and cycling will be faster. The hotel is very mature in terms of transportation (charged), and there is no feeling of inconvenience.
It's no longer a secret, this niche island is just too perfect for lying flat
🌴A trip to Lombok Island, one article is enough!||If you're still hesitating about whether to come to Lombok Island, or just finished climbing a volcano🌋 and are looking for a peaceful island to relax on, then Lombok Island is definitely your best choice! This charming yet niche island is worth spending three or four days to savor its unique beauty! Without further ado, let's get to the good stuff!🙌
Lombok Island is really huge😲, almost comparable to Bali on the map!
This place is simply a paradise for water sports enthusiasts😎! Diving, surfing, paragliding, you name it, there are also spectacular waterfalls and mysterious volcanoes🌋! Today, let me tell you how to enjoy Lombok Island!
1️⃣Accommodation choices🏠
If you have plenty of time and want to experience Lombok Island in depth, then Senggigi is definitely a great place🤩. It's close to various attractions, and the good hotels are basically concentrated here, where you can enjoy five-star treatment for just five or six hundred, which is incredibly cost-effective😏!
If you just want to enjoy the tranquility and leisure of the island, then go straight to the Gili Islands😉! If you like surfing, then go to Kuta Lombok🏄♂️!
2️⃣Tourist attractions🎉
The two waterfalls on Lombok Island each have their own charm🎊, one in the south and one in the north. Compared to the shock of the waterfalls, the experience of trekking and wading to the waterfalls is even more unforgettable😻!
The beaches near Kuta are more beautiful than the next😍! The sunset at Tanjung Aan Beach is simply amazing🌇! Selong Belanak Beach attracts beginners from all over the world with its beautiful scenery and clean waters for surfing🏄♀️! Mawun Beach made me feel the true blue sea and sky🌊, and there are many cliff restaurants here, each with its unique view😍!
Senggigi Beach is also fantastic🤗! There are so many sunset viewing spots here, with coconut groves and the ultimate beach complementing each other😚! The coastal mountain road is winding, with a view in every bay, it is recommended to tour by motorcycle, so you can take in all the beautiful scenery🚲!
The Gili Islands are also worth a visit😆! Gili Trawangan is the main hub, bustling and brilliant at night🎇! During the day, everyone is diving and surfing🏊♂️! The water here is crystal clear, like a glass sea, with turtles swimming around you🐢! Gili Air and Gili Meno are mainly for diving holidays, and the islands are quieter🤫. Compared to the Gili Islands near Senggigi, the Gili Islands in the south of Lombok Island are also second to none in diving and surfing😎!
Mount Rinjani🌋 is not to be missed! It stands at 3,685 meters and is the second highest volcano in Indonesia⛰️. The normal itinerary is four days and three nights, and it has even been featured on the cover of Lonely Planet😏! The crater lake seen after reaching the summit is like the best reward for all the hardships along the way, with a sky full of stars, as if you are in the Milky Way🌌!
3️⃣How to get to Lombok Island🛫
Lombok International Airport currently only has direct flights from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, all others require a transfer within Indonesia😟. From Bali, you can take a boat from Padang Bai, with fast boat tickets costing 125 RMB and slow boat 25 RMB💰!
4️⃣Island cuisine😋
Lombok Island has many restaurants that are both cheap and high-end🍴! They all have ratings on Google, but everyone's taste is different😉, the most important thing is that durians are super cheap😜!
5️⃣Precautions⚠️
Be sure to bring several UnionPay cards with enough cash or with a chip💳, because there are basically no Chinese people and no one speaks Chinese😔. If possible, be sure to rent a car🚗, the coastal roads here are mountainous, be sure to pay attention to safety🚧!

Bukit Merese Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Merese Hill
Wonderful hill in Lombok you must visit. The view is really amazing cause you can see blue ocean over the horizon on the west side also sunset. And in the east side you can see the gradation blue of coral. This is definitely the best place to catch sunset. Take a short hike uphill and you will be greeted with magnificent view. Very popular sunset photo spot. If hiking is not for you, locals offer motorbike shuttle for 30-50k. Beware! Access to this beach and hills has recently quite difficult to navigate because it is adjacent to planned MotoGP circuit development, so the land is on a heavy construction project. A lot of mud and dirt road so better check the road and go at daytime 🏖🏝🌊🌅⛅️ #summervacation #hikingtrails #urbanexplorer

Merese Hill
Jump back on your scooter and drive another 5 to 10 minutes east from Tanjung Aan Beach to find Bukit Merese, one of the most popular beaches in the area and the best spot to watch the sunset.
The walk up to the viewpoint takes around 5-minutes to where you will see Bukit Merese’s idyllic features of rolling hills and several small beaches and coves.
At the top, it’s a matter of picking your own headland to perch yourself on to watch the sunset. The most popular spot is where most of the crowd will be, standing around a dead tree on the edge of the cliff.
We decided to walk for a little longer to a headland that reaches right out over the ocean and we had a grassy patch all to ourselves. The sky put on an incredible show for us displaying soft pinks and blues to the bright oranges and burning reds!

Tanjung Aan Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Sunset viewpoint in Kuta, Lombok
I have never regretted a sunset! one of the best I ever saw was in Kuta, south Lombok. Tanjung Aan is an easy scooter ride from the main town of Kuta and well signposted. It is very popular with tourists and locals so get there early to secure a good position!
You will also pass vendors selling snacks and drinks so it is a good place for a date. Perhaps bring your own food and eat h the sun set over the horizon!

Tanjung Aan Beach / Merica Beach
After exploring Seger Point Beach, you can head east again on the bike for 2 minutes to where you’ll find a long stretch of white sand beach called Tanjung Aan.
Tanjung Aan Beach looks like something you would see on a postcard and it’s one of the most beautiful beaches worthy of checking out!
Local people call this beach the name Pantai Merica (pepper beach). Because this beach has sand that looks like pepper. If you want to relax while looking at the ocean, you can do it in a small cottage hut located on the beach.
If you visit this beach in February, you will have the opportunity to witness the unique attraction of Bau Nyale. Bau Nyale Festival is a festival to search for worms carried out by the Sasak as a manifestation of gratitude and prayer to be blessed throughout the year.

3D2N hike to the summit of Mount Rinjani
"Nothing worth it comes easy" - this phrase truly describes my 3D2N hike in Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani is an active volcano on the island of Lombok, Indonesia. It is 3,726m, making it the 2nd highest volcano in Indonesia. A full trek around Mount Rinjani takes 3 days. Shorter tours are available but with limited coverage of this beautiful mountain.
My route for the 3 days tour: Sembalun village -> crater rim -> summit at 7am on Day 2 -> lake and hot springs -> rest for the night -> crater rim -> Senaru village.
It was an arduous climb to the summit as the path is full of gravel and stones. With every 2 steps forward, I slid 1 step back. Freaking intense climb at 5+am to reach the summit in time for sunrise. Hiking poles and good hiking boots are absolutely necessary for the summit hike.
The tour package includes simple meals, tents and sleeping bag, porter, trekking guide, transport to the start point of the hike, and entrance fee to the national park.

Hike Mount Rinjani
#familytrips2024
Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia and a popular trekking destination. Its breathtaking beauty includes a massive crater lake Anak Segara, hot springs and stunning mountain views. The trek to the summit is quite challenging with steep terrain, only attempt if your fitness level is moderate or above! Due to the harsh terrain, every one step up, you'll slide two steps down! It's a nice hike for nature enthusiasts if you're seeking a transcendent experience amidst its rugged landscapes.

#indonesiatrip
Absolutely beautiful and comically difficult to summit. Really the only downsides are watching the porters heroically carrying 30+kg loads on wooden planks in their shoulders while making sub-minimum wages and the sheer amount of rubbish and toilet paper left behind by visitors. Please bring warm clothes and your sleeping bag to the summit, pack out your trash and tip your guide and porters generously (they deserve it!)
