Snorkel off our beach and be amazed by the diversity of marine life. Turtles, reef sharks, rays, moray eels, lion and scorpion fish proliferate. At the right time of year, spot a manta or a school of eagle rays!

Gili Trawangan is a divers paradise, with a number of well-established dive operators situated a 5 to 10 minute walk from the villa. Mingle with the sharks, trevallies, turtles and snappers along the ridges and valleys in famous Shark Point, or look for pygme seahorses around the canyon in Simon’s reef. There’s something here for everyone.

If diving and snorkelling are not your thing, spend a day playing golf on the beautiful 18-hole Kosaido course in Lombok, try horse-riding with lots of beautiful horses to choose from at the nearby stables or take a trip around the island in a cidomo, (pony and cart), go for a cycle or simply soak up the sun on the beach with a good book. The surf is also great just opposite Hari Puri with impressive waves.

Excursions to Lombok are easily arranged on the island. For the truly adventurous and fit, try climbing Mount Rinjani which towers an impressive 3,500 metres. This majestic volcano takes a minimum of 2 days to scale and is a serious climb, not for the faint-hearted!   Island photos
