Kuta, or \u201cKuta Lombok\u201d to avoid confusion with the one in Bali, is a lovely coastal town on the southern coast of Lombok. It\u2019s been developing quickly over the last few years and has really become the main tourist spot on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it\u2019s not as bustling or developed as places like Canggu or Ubud, Kuta offers a decent selection of restaurants, caf\u00e9s, shops, and places to stay. The best part? It doesn\u2019t feel overcrowded or chaotic like those Bali hotspots, although I can\u2019t help but think that might change soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, why has Kuta Lombok become such a popular destination? Besides the growing food scene and cozy accommodations, staying in Kuta puts you close to some of Lombok\u2019s most stunning beaches. Tanjung Aan Beach is only about 15 minutes away, and Selong Belanak Beach is around 30 minutes. Plus, you can explore nearby attractions like Sade Village and Bukit Merese, which is a fantastic spot for watching the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Kuta Lombok, you\u2019ll find all the essentials for a great stay. There are massage centers, laundries, nightlife spots, supermarkets, motorcycle rentals, and tour agencies. Basically, it has everything a tourist might need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stayed at Cewin’s Homestay<\/a>, and it was such a nice experience! The location was perfect, the cabins were super charming, and the staff made us feel right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are some of the hotels I recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In my opinion, the north of Lombok has places that you cannot miss if you land on this Indonesian island. From Kuta, there are excursions that take you to the main attractions of the area; however, my opinion is that it is well worth staying overnight to visit more places and with more tranquility and enjoy even more of the magic of this part of Lombok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mount Rinjani, the highest peak in Lombok, is located in the north of the island. You can make a very interesting trek of several days that takes you to the top. We could not do it because from January to March it is closed (rainy season). In the surroundings, you cannot miss the Tiu Kelep waterfall and the viewpoint of Bukit Selong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To visit the north, my recommendation is to stay in Senaru, a small village located at the foot of Mount Rinjani. The treks to Mount Rinjani start from a point very close to this town, and, in addition, you will be next to the Tiu Kelep and Sendang Gile waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Senaru is a very small town with just enough services. Keep this in mind. We stayed in a very humble place with incredible views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We stayed at Pondok Guru Bakti Cottage<\/a> and enjoyed it very much. It is a very humble accommodation but has a swimming pool and amazing views of Mount Rinjani. The staff is very friendly, and they have a small local restaurant with very tasty dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are some of the hotels I recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udfe5 I remind you that it is very important to have travel insurance for Indonesia<\/a> if you do not have medical coverage in the destination. Without adding a lot of money to your budget, you can travel with the peace of mind that if something happens to you, your expenses will be covered and you will have a team of people to help you. I always use and recommend the company Heymondo, where I can offer you a 5% discount on your next policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you come to Lombok wanting to disconnect from the world and take refuge in a place that transmits peace and tranquility, this area of the south coast of the island is full of luxury hotels facing the sea, from which you will not want to leave. It is located about 35 minutes drive from Kuta, to the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I find it a very good idea for those in Indonesia celebrating their honeymoon or really for any couple looking for privacy and disconnection. There are many 4- and 5-star hotels, offering all kinds of services and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We went for a drink one day at the Amber Lombok Beach Resort<\/a>, and it looked great. Many of these hotels let you go to their bar or restaurant to have a drink and, depending on the conditions, to use the swimming pool. Keep this in mind because it can be a good plan for one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These hotels look very good:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gili Islands belong to Lombok and are located in the northwest of the island. Although they could be treated as a totally independent destination to Lombok, I do not want to fail to mention them in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the \u201cfamous Gili Islands\u201d (because there are other gili in Lombok; \u201cgili\u201d means small island), we find Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. It is convenient to choose the island according to your tastes and preferences, although any of them has many attractions if you want to enjoy the sea and spend a few days relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gili Trawangan<\/a> is the most developed of all and is considered the \u201cparty island,” as there are many places to go out at night. Gili Meno<\/a> is the least developed island and the quietest of all, ideal for couples looking for relaxation. Finally, Gili Air<\/a> is a mix of both islands. It offers a quiet atmosphere but is more developed than Gili Meno, and there are more services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the hotels where we stayed and that I recommend in each of the islands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to see more recommendations, you can enter the guide I have for each island and see other accommodations that are very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 As I was saying, Lombok has other “gilis\u201d, and one of them also has hotels. I am talking about Gili Asahan. There you will find other very cool hotels, such as Gili Asahan Eco Lodge & Restaurant<\/a> and Pearl Beach Resort Gili Asahan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the following map, I have marked the different areas where I recommend staying and the hotels I have mentioned throughout the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRecommended hotels in Kuta Lombok<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
