Senggigi

Senggigi, on the Indonesian island of Lombok, was once Lombok’s primary tourism hub. Located just north of Mataram, it stretches along several kilometers of coastline and retains a more established feel than newer areas. While it experienced setbacks in the early 2000s, impacting development, Senggigi offers a quieter alternative to the bustling south and the Gili Islands.

Today, Senggigi provides a relaxed base with a range of accommodation and dining options. Expect a mix of older hotels and newer guesthouses, alongside local warungs and restaurants. It’s a convenient location for exploring Lombok, offering easy access to beaches and inland attractions, though it’s less focused on nightlife than other parts of the island.
