White sand and turquoise water run from the cliffs of Kuta to the wide bay of Tanjung Aan, and the crowds thin the further you walk. Climbing Rinjani, 3,726 m of misty forest and bare crater rim, repays every step with a view over the whole island. Boats reach the Gili islands in minutes; inland, Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep fall through green slopes.

The best time to go

For the best weather in Lombok, aim for May to October.
