There are many relaxing activities at various institutions including yoga at a meditation center, diving schools to learn the basics, and with how warm the water temperature is all year, there are watersports available for anyone at any level. You wouldn’t expect it, but there are lovely boutiques and local stalls that sell clothing, handicrafts, and locally produced jewelry that make really cute souvenirs and gifts.

The Gilis are an easy place to relax in – with no loud and motorized vehicles such as cars or motorbikes, you are able to explore the small islands on foot. It’s not every day that you wake up to living on a small and sparsely inhabited island. Alternatively, you are able to rent a bike for a cheap fee to be used all day, and there are cidomo (horse-drawn carriages) to take you around as well, commonly found in Lombok.
