Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara, and is located between Bali Island to the west and Sumbawa Island to the east. Due to its geographical location, Lombok has hot and humid weather, and can even feel hotter than Bali. Therefore, don't forget to bring clothes that are suitable for this hot weather! Prepare clothes made from material that is not too thick and can absorb sweat. Then what about tickets, accommodation and transportation while in Lombok? Let's discuss them one by one. Flight Ticket to Lombok! The best way to go to Lombok is by plane directly to Lombok's Zainuddin Abdul Madjid Airport with the IATA code (LOP) from the city of origin where you live. But if you want to visit Bali during your holiday, you can also travel overland and continue by ferry from Bali to Lombok. Generally, the journey takes a large ferry from Padang Bai Harbor on the island of Bali to Selamat Harbor in Lombok. Even though the price of this ferry ticket is quite cheap, the journey time is relatively long due to the large size of the ship. I highly recommend you to use a fast boat for a shorter travel time. Meanwhile, plane tickets from Bali to Lombok generally start from IDR 300,000 in (local Indonesian) currency or the equivalent of $32.11 (American dollars) for one way trip.

However, nowadays, quite a few people choose the southern Lombok area for a holiday, especially with the increasing popularity of Kuta Mandalika Beach.

However, apart from 5 star hotels, in Senggigi you can also find many hotels with a limited budget, both star and non-star. You can even stay in a cottage like Cafe Wayan Cottages Senggigi or Senggigi Cottages Lombok for less than IDR 300,000 in (local Indonesian) currency or the equivalent of $32.11 (US dollars) per night.
