Lombok
Anyone bowled over by the beauty of Bali, but seeking a less developed and more raw experience of Indonesia will enjoy a holiday in Lombok. The island, to the east of Bali, has a serene countryside, fantastic beaches, one big town (Mataram), one holiday resort (Senggigi), a towering volcano (Mount Rinjani) and the offshore Gilimore islands which offer some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities in the Indonesian archipelago. Kuta Beach in the south is a renowned surfing mecca.
