This fabled ‘island of the Gods’ is deeply spiritual, with welcoming people and a rich culture, home to dramatic rice terraces, ancient temples and majestic mountains amongst scents of frangipani, religious rituals, colourful performances and tantalising culinary delights. Lesser-visited Lombok is easily combinable with Bali, just a short flight or boat ride away. The more remote Gilis can be reached by boat from Bali or Lombok. Alternatively you could combine magical Bali with cultural Ubud, or go beyond Indonesia and explore another bright and bustling city of the Orient.
