Dominated by imposing Mount Rinjani, Matarm, Lombok’s capital, draws divers, surfers and trekkers with its natural attractions. Senggigi, located along a stretch of sweeping bays, is popular with those who seeking a languid day on the beach. Other day trips include Sukarara Village, renowned for its lovely, intricately patterned cotton and silk ikat cloth, used for sarongs, wall hangings and other unique items. And be sure to take an outing to Indonesia’s Lesser Sunda islands, where the evocative Mayura Water Palace sits on an artificial lake and features a floating pavilion; and Narmada Palace, still used in Balinese ceremonies to this day. For that perfect keepsake, head to Cakranegara Market, the Pearl Shop, or the nearby pottery village of Banyumulek.
