Introducing Senggigi Beach

Senggigi Beach is the earliest developed tourist area on Lombok Island. Many travelers will regard Senggigi Beach as the first stop of their trip to Lombok Island, or as a transit point to relax and rest during the journey.

The waters are surprisingly calm, sometimes giving visitors the impression they're facing a lake rather than seawater. Compared to other famous resort beaches, water recreational facilities here are relatively scarce, lacking even the most common jet skis and parasailing. People simply swim, stroll, and sunbathe quietly. Therefore, while the beach is not sparsely populated, the atmosphere remains tranquil.

From Senggigi Beach, you can see Bali Island, which is just across the water. Especially at sunset, the majestic Mount Agung looks even more spectacular.
