The Reasons behind Lomboks popularity - Travel Documentary (Indonesia is not only Bali, Ep. 03)

In this Lombok Documentary I take you on a road trip through the diverse landscapes of Lombok with its many sights.
➸ 83% off CyberGhost:

➸ My Indo Travel Planning Kit:

For my last few weeks in Indonesia this time around I decided to set foot on Lombok, an island situated in the West Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia which is home to round about 4 million inhabitants. Here, the rhythm is different to the previous destinations I visited in Indonesia. With a predominantly Muslim population, this serene island, away from the bustling thoroughfares awaits with natural splendor...but the rising tide of tourism is beginning to re-shape the island. This Lombok documentary aims to show the diversity of this island covering the historic and religious background, explaining the cultural roots as well as the natural and man made sights.

This Lombok Travel Documentary is the third part of a Documentary Series called „Indonesia is not only Bali“. While many visitors mainly focus on Bali alone, Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands offers a wealth of incredible destinations each with its unique charm and attractions.

Therefore my plan was to visit a number of different destinations to showcase the diversity of the country to the best of my ability. In this episode I’ll be embarking on a solo roadtrip adventure all around the island of Lombok with a tiny scooter and a surfboard to show you some more hidden gems, proving that there is so much more to this enchanting archipelago. In a few short years, Kuta has changed from a sleepy seaside village into the main focus of tourism development in Lombok

In order to show you the whole diversity of Indonesia I tried to cover the majority of sights in this Lombok Documentary from the south over the West, north to the east as well as the volcanos and waterfalls in the center of Lombok.

You can use this Lombok Documentary to plan your own trip to Lombok, on my website you’ll find all essential information needed.

Following I list all places & things to do in Lombok, Indonesia as seen in this Indonesia Documentary:
- Kuta Lombok
- Selong Belanak
- Pantai Aan / Tanjung Aan
- Gerupuk
- Sekotong
- Mandalika Internation Circuit / Mandalika Project
- Bukit Seger / Bukit Merese
- Mount Rinjani Volcano
- Senggigi
- Sekotong Peninsula
- Desert Point
- Secret Gilis
- The Gilis - Gili Trawangan
- Senaru
- Sembalun
- Tetebatu
- Benang Stokel

Why you no longer should Travel to Bali (WATCH BEFORE YOU BOOK)

Bali's golden days are in the past, once called the most beautiful place in the world, it has become a destination to avoid. Find out what happened to the island and what better to do instead.

Indonesia has, apart from Bali, 18.000 other islands to visit, the country has hundreds of different ethnics and languages in it's territory. The other islands have long been overlooked, but there are such great things to discover. Slowly Flores, Lombok, Borneo, Java and Sumatra are attracting more and more travelers. Hopefully this will give Bali some time to breathe in the future. Overtourism will be a big issue for many popular places in the near future.

Why You Should Visit Lombok | BEST OF INDONESIA

After travelling in Bali for over a month, we decided to explore one of its' sister island, Lombok. We couldn't believe how beautiful and untouched this island is. If you have been to Bali, you'd know by now; if you want to enjoy anything in peace you MUST be up very early but here we were surprised to arrive in top spots at mid day and barely any tourists around.

Lombok left us speechless and wanting for more. Here's the reasons why you should visit Lombok and experience this for yourself! Watch till the end you'll surely be surprised by what we discovered there, A HIDDEN PARADISE!

(Also, wanted to point out, this is an inspiration travel video only, in no way we encourage for anyone to travel at the moment with the current situation. We hope this video will bring you some joy and that you can be inspired for the future once it's safe to travel again)

GO TO LOMBOK, NOT BALI! Travel Kuta Lombok & Sasak Culture

The new, clean Kuta beach! Is Lombok the new Bali? With cheap Air Asia flights it won't stay this quiet for long!

I shot a 3-part travel series in Lombok - this first episode we see quiet beaches in the south and traditional cultural villages. Read more here:

ACCOMODATION WHERE I STAYED (if you want to stay, please book using these affiliate links so I get commission for the recommendations - thanks so much!)

KUTA LOMBOK - Perfect location for walking around town and waking up to the sound of birds in the trees was so special.

*On a previous trip when I had more money, I stayed here... 100% worth the treat if you're up for it because it's got local character, awesome private beach and amazing buffet dinners*

SEKOTONG - best area to stay to visit the secret southern Gili islands. This place had a private beach and easy to get private boat tours to the islands.

MATARAM - a super cheap room in the heart of the city so it's easy to get GoJek and they have parking for cars and bikes. It's surprisingly quiet inside and the staff are very nice and helpful.

Back in 2018, Lombok was tipped to be the next big thing in Indonesia. After a devastating earthquake in 2018 and covid, things have stalled on the tourism front, but it's far less crowded than Bali and a much larger selection of white sand beaches.
