A balm for the senses and spirit, with white-sand beaches stretching to a blissful horizon, Lombok is simply jaw-dropping. Known as a surfing paradise, Gili Mas is a volcanic and verdant spot and a splendid locale for stepping into the cerulean seas surrounding the islands of Indonesia. Revel in local culture by visiting a pair of 18th-century landmarks – Lingsar Temple and Mayura Water Palace – and pick up locally made handcrafts at a pair of charming markets.
