Surfing the Gilis and Lombok
Gili Trawangan - Off the southern-end of the island is a right hand break called Secrets, where the local boys are more than welcoming to travelling surfers. The spot itself is a little fickle, but when it starts breaking it really cranks and produces flawless barrels. It breaks on a mid- to high-tide and is best ridden on a solid southwest or south swell.

Gili Air - On the southern-most point of the island is a fine right hand peak that can, on a solid south swell, break flawlessly. There are two waves that can be surfed here, Outside Right, sometimes called Pertama, which is better than the second spot, a left-right due east.

Senggigi- You will find a break that is called The Senggigi Sheraton Left because it breaks inside a small bay that is dominated by the Sheraton Hotel. The setup here is great but requires a large swell to work. Just around a point from this left is a nameless right-hander which can hollow out, but it also needs a very strong swell to happen.

Surfing West Lombok - Most of Lombok?s waves are concentrated on the island?s West Coast. You won?t find as many surf spots on Lombok as you can ride on Bali, but those that are accessible are less crowded, physically more beautiful as natural locations. One particular place, known to locals as Bangko-bangko (but to surfers the world over as Desert Point) is one of the world?s premier left hand surf spots. Desert Point is home to some of the best quality waves in Indonesia. This impulsive, but perfect and long left hand point break requires a swell of good direction and size to fire, but given those requirements it more than produces the barreling goods.

Golf
The uncrowded Kosaido Golf Club is located on Sire Bay on the northwest coast of Lombok. The golf course, set in a coconut plantation overlooking the ocean on three sides, was designed by Australian golf course architects, with a philosophy of respecting the natural contours of the land, which offer magnificent views of Mount Rinjani to the northeast and the Gili Islands to the west. The 18-hole championship course is a unique, challenging, and world-class experience for golfers of all levels. The golf course site has a serene atmosphere, from the gently undulating fairways; you will enjoy mild ocean breezes under the dappled shade of the palm leaf canopy.

Sport Fishing
The Lombok Straits have so many fish in the water that local traditional fishermen still use very simple equipment and small outrigger wooden boats with sail (Sampan). Good spots for fishing in Lombok are; southwest Lombok towards Bangko-bangko (Desert Point), northwest Lombok out behind the Gili Islands, known by the locals as takat (seawall), is good for both trolling and deep fishing. Opposite Nusa Penida, near Bali, is an area known as one of the best spots for trolling and deep fishing.

Trekking ? Senaru
The village of Senaru is the northwest gateway to Gunung Rinjani National Park. The Rinjani Trek Center is located at the top of the village at the trailhead. It offers information for visitors on the Rinjani Treks, the National Park, Sasak culture and a range of ecotourism activities for visitors.

Mount Rinjani, the focus of the Gunung Rinjani National Park, forms the second highest volcanic peak in Indonesia (3,726 m), part of the celebrated ?Ring of Fire?. The dramatic landscape has been created over millions of years of cone-building, violent explosions and erosion.

The treks are challenging and range from 2 to 5 days exploring caves, hot springs, Segara Anak Crater Lake and the Rinjani summit. A challenging 3 day trek route from Senaru to the stunning crater rim (Plawangan), down to the spiritual waters of Segara Anak Crater Lake, then on to Sembalum Lawang, is considered one of the best treks in South East Asia.

Kelapa Villas can arrange a trek for our adventurous guests, just let us know and we can provide further information on a number of treks for you to choose from.
