West Lombok holidays are a blend of energy and authenticity. Anchored by the capital, Mataram, this is the island’s most developed region, with a mix of markets, temples, beaches and rural villages. Explore the busy streets of Cakranegara, pause at the ornate Hindu temples near the Monkey Forest, or unwind at palm-fringed beaches like Senggigi Bay and Sire. West Lombok is the gateway to deeper discoveries and a great base for exploring both tradition and the everyday.
Just outside the city, life slows in the Sasak villages. Learn about the island’s unique Wetu Telu mosques and visit Banyumulek, a centre for traditional pottery where age-old techniques are still practised. Whether you’re soaking up religious history, admiring Mount Rinjani across the bay or seeing crafts made by hand, West Lombok offers a rich mix of island life.
