Enjoy Selong Belanak Surfing Spot

Selong Belanak surfing spot Lombok is a must visit destination. 

In addition to being a surf location, the beach is located on the southern coast of Lombok also has beautiful scenery. Its sloping white sandy beaches are still safe for children, especially if the tall waves is calm.

Spend the whole day, enjoy the view and felt the enthusiastic beginner balanced themselves on their surf-board. Sun-bathing or sunset hunting will never be boring anyone. The local warung served the local food and there is alsoa restaurant that provides a variety of international menus. All day enjoying the atmosphere of Selong Belanak will still be enjoyable.

Located only 1 hour ride from Mataram city or an extra half an hour from your favorite hotel around Senggigi beach, Selong Belanak is also near enough from Kuta beach, Central Lombok. It takes you only half an hour ride from Kuta and an addition of 15 minutes if you want to get to Selong Belanak, directly after your flight landed at Lombok International Airport (LIA).

Gili Trawangan Enchanting Sunset

Turquoise crystal blue water, colorful coral, white sandy beaches and various culinary from all over the world. These attract most visitor to come, come and come again to Gili Trawangan Lombok.

There is no sound of motor vehicles, giving you the chance the enjoy the impressive natural scenery of these three gili’s. On the bright morning or afternoon, the natural splendor coming along as your best sunrise or sunset. Though the spot were far away enough, sunrise on the east side and sunset on the west side of Gili Trawangan, the time you spent to reach these spot were all worth.

Nonetheless the underwater world beauties is also the must seeing spot. A must doing, after all. One reason that made me always miss another visit, as soon as I get home from my latest snorkeling moment.

All fun and haven experience you may have by your own, at Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and, or, Gili Meno. Three beautiful gili’s of Lombok, Indonesia.

Where To Visit Lombok Sacred Tombs

Being the main and largest tribe in Lombok, Sasak has a historical background that is closely related to Islam. One of its markers, various sacred tomb sites scattered in four districts. 

Another marker, a hereditary custom in the large Sasak tribe family, visits these tombs regularly every year. Especially during the celebration of the big days of Islam.

Most Lombok people visit these tombs as often as they visit other family tourist destinations such as beaches or waterfalls.

Me myself, have ever been Makam Selaparang at Suela village, East Lombok district, from my childhood (when I was around 6 yo) and many more re-visit at my school time and along with my children, these latest three years.

Nowadays, more and more sacred tombs can be visited and almost always crowded in every celebration of Islamic religious holidays. One of the most crowded, usually occurs in the celebration of Maulid or the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. Another great celebration, coinciding with the seventh day after Eid al-Fitr, at the end of Ramadan. Makam Batu Layar Senggigi and Makam Loang Baloq Ampenan, were two main spots that you can meet the crowd of Lombok moslems at these two kind celebrations.

Must See Lombok Folktale

Born and spent my childhood at East Lombok, Cupak Gerantang was one of many Lombok folktale as my tales before bed. A folktale that I also re-tell to my children or most of my friend who ask’s about specific Lombok folktale.

Usually re-tell through Sasak puppet show, an event that I was not joint yet, since it always held all night long and mostly starts on mid-night. Nowadays, Cupak Gerantang were perform at some Tourist Village, such as Bayan at North Lombok district or the art studio and puppet master H.L. Nasip at West Lombok district.

My Favorit Staycation Hotel at Lombok

All I need from a hotel, mostly, the extra coffee maker, hot shower and comfort bed. Only big three of a must, especially when I’m in my solo travelling.

Things that will become different if my kiddos come along.

There must be a pool, 24 hours restaurant  services and a fast access to medical stuff.

Stuffs that will be take’s another step of changing too. At around next 5 years, would be my great trip if my kiddos could already joint my deep water experience. Two most simple were, snorkeling and diving. 

Bue Coral Inn Hotel at Senggigi, Lombok, Im sure will suit those special needs.
