Bali’s Sister Island – Lombok

By Barrie | April 28th, 2007 | No Comments

Lombok has always been the Cinderella tourist island to Bali and yet it has so much to offer – great beaches, an even more laid-back lifestyle and a unique culture. As Tom Cockrem writes, Lombok’s great appeal is that it’s pretty much unspoiled with a traditional tribal culture that is remarkably intact. There’s some incongruity here. My luxuriously appointed hotel suite, that steps out onto a tropical pool, is built in the style of the traditional village houses that I’ve seen just up the road. Like theirs, its roof is thatched.
