The beach of Senggiggi is probably one of the nicest on the island. It covers a huge strech of coastline, with magnificent bays seperated from the hinterland by towering hills. Despite the presence of international chain hotels, the whole place still breaths a relaxing and laidback atmosphere. Senggiggi is the perfect spot to further engage in island explorations. The ethnic villages of the south, the trendy beaches of the coral islands just off the north coast of Lombok, the colorful markets around Mataram, fascinating salt mining in the rarely visited southwest, the easy going capital, they are all just a short drive away. From the white-sand beach of Sengggigi, you'll be awed by the sights of Mount Agung in a shimmering distnace on Bali, across the Lombok Strait.
