Chaweng Beach-Ko Samui, Thailand

Lombok, Indonesia
Just off the coast of east Bali, the beaches found here also boast privacy and beauty. Depending on the experience you want, there are also beaches in Lombok that have stretches of shops and venues for you to explore. With clear aqua blue water and pure white sand you'll think you're in paradise. Just a stone's throw from Bali, it's the perfect place for a romantic escape or a holiday of peace and complete relaxation.
Senggigi Beach is the main tourist town and beach in Lombok. For a more secluded experience a visit to East Lombok would be more suited. It is less developed and lets you take a peek at rural life in Indonesia.
For a more adventurous experience, visit the Mount Rinjani National Park. Mount Rinjani is an active volcano that makes for a spectacular place to visit. The sights are breath-taking and it's not hard to see why local people revere the mountain as a sacred place.
No matter what type of holiday you’re planning, it's definitely worth factoring in a visit to Lombok when organizing your Bali trip.
