Lombok is an Indonesian yacht destination with the Gili Islands, beaches, diving, surf and routes between Bali and Komodo.

Lombok is an attractive Indonesian yacht destination east of Bali, known for beaches, surf, the Gili Islands, Mount Rinjani and a more relaxed atmosphere than its famous neighbour.

For yachts, Lombok works well as part of routes linking Bali, the Gili Islands, Sumbawa and Komodo. It offers beach stops, snorkeling, diving, island anchorages and resort experiences.
