Lombok’s Best Beach Clubs Enjoy the good times at My Lombok’s favourite beach club hangout

L

ombok’s beach scene, from Senggigi to the Gilis and the sparkling South Coast, have grown immeasurably in the last few years. No longer are we restricted to a smattering of singular beach bars and eateries with a sea view. The trend now is for a fully inclusive lifestyle destination experience by the beach where you can lounge to your heart’s content, dine under the stars and party into the night without lifting your feet out of the sand.

The Lombok beach club scene has really come of age now with a plethora of fashionable new beachfront spots creating a buzz, each with their own unique vibe. From kid-friendly daytime hangouts to happening late night haunts, check out our top beach club picks across Lombok.

Scallywags Beach Club Scallywags has become a true Gili Air institution, bordering a long stretch of fine white sand.

BIGKANU

Taking life just one beach at a time It's lean, it's green and there's nothing else quite like it If NASA had designed a twenty-first century interpretation of the traditional, island hopping, outrigger canoe, this would be it.

It's BIGKANU – a charter boat like no other. A 77-foot aluminium trimaran, with a super efficient 10-knot hull, it's strangely reminiscent of an intergalactic craft (think a sea-going version of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon). With a huge triangular sail above, and trampolines all around, it's certainly a distinctive presence. It's fast, and stable (no sea sickness), and with just 80cm draft, BIGKANU goes boldly where no other craft can go. Designed specifically for the purpose, it glides over the coral that rings the beaches, and almost hugs the shoreline, skirting the small resorts of the southern Gilis. It's somewhere between cruiser and beach house – a floating 'boatel' that's an ideal base for exploring the islands around Lombok.

It's also green – as in, environmentally friendly. There are no noisy generators or hulking great engines. Instead, BIGKANU is fitted with solar panels, and moves swiftly by sail power when the wind blows. It has a low fuel appetite, and a very small engine, considering its size. The roof even collects rainwater for use on board.

It's about "cruising with conscience", but BIGKANU also has every amenity for comfort. Guests can choose the 'whole craft' rental option, for groups up to 12, and they can enjoy the services of captain, crew, host, and chef, with all meals fully catered.

The craft has kitchen and laundry facilities, all safety features, and, if necessary, you can stay in touch, digitally, with the outside world.

You might not want to. On board, it's filled with "lovely light and space", says one fan, and you have the rare chance to enjoy a carefree life on the waves at whatever speed you prefer. Half height cabins are opened up by day to the breezes and the views, keeping the boat airy and spacious. They have concertina curtains that can be closed at night, for privacy.

It's a restaurant-club, a viewing deck with verandahs front and back, a lazy retreat, or a home base after a day of activity.

The BIGKANU sailing experience is unique. Able to go close to shore, BIGKANU carries its passengers between the best of what land and sea have to offer – the changing scenery of beaches and village life that other cruisers often miss.

Passengers can swim, snorkel, paddle in the shallows, or wander ashore and meet the locals. There are always curious onlookers, when BIGKANU floats in.

Lombok has some of the area's most beautiful hidden islands, and BIGKANU can find them all. It sails a circuit of the islands near Bali and Lombok, which means access to the three beautiful Gili Islands – Trawangan, Air, and Meno – as well as Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, the stunning southern Gilis, and the atolls and bays of South Lombok. There's plenty of room on board to contemplate sea, sky and shore – and the craft has glass bottom viewing for an up-close encounter with corals and sea creatures.

23

ACTIVITY

From August 17 BIGKANU will be offering 4-day trips from Gili Air to the southern Gilis – Gili Gede, Gili Layar, Asahan and so on.

All BIGKANU ventures have a focus on health, and wellness on the water. It's about refreshing and reconnecting with life through healthy whole food and sustainable activities.

Also available are 'live aboard' retreats, specifically designed for yoga enthusiasts. For those looking for renewal of body, mind and spirit, there are meditation sessions in tranquil surroundings, and special food choices can be catered for. For more details, see www.yogakanu.com Want to go 'up the creek with a paddle'? Or perhaps you'd prefer a lagoon, or an island or five. Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) groups can have the ultimate experience with BIGKANU as their perfect launch pad, and home base. Also planned are fitness holidays in Bali, the Gilis and Raja Ampat, and trips to the best surfing locations. For more information go to www. supkanu.com And in 2017 there will be a cruise to Raja Ampat, off Indonesian Papua, an area of exceptional beauty and biodiversity.

BIGKANU is a radical newcomer on the scene, and for the traveller who's looking for something different, it promises the perfect way to explore the beauty of the region.

Paragliding Accuracy World Cup 2016 Paragliding Accuracy World Cup 2016 event puts Lombok on the map in the aero sporting world

T

here are plenty of extreme sports and activities on offer throughout Lombok but none have (quite literally) taken off like paragliding. Since My Lombok first highlighted the burgeoning paragliding scene a year ago, it has gained in popularity at a rapid pace and this month it truly came of age. Lombok has just hosted the Paragliding Accuracy World Cup – a major recognition both for the growing paragliding community and for Lombok as a destination itself.

It welcomed nearly 150 flyers hailing from 20 countries including China, the US, India, Japan, Korea, Serbia, Singapore and Thailand. In fact it was three competitions in one, namely the World Cup, Asian Cup and National Championship comprising two full days of top quality competitive paragliding.

So why Lombok? Apart from the hunger of the local paragliding community and the NTB government to host a major championship, the constant wind at the competition site of Are Guling Bay is also a major plus. It also doesn’t hurt that Are Guling offers breathtaking scenery too, giving both competitors and visiting spectators an eye-catching

27

glimpse of Lombok. The worldwide appeal and exposure gained is sure to have a welcome knock-on effect of enticing more local people to get involved in the paragliding scene in Lombok and Sumbawa.

Paragliding Accuracy is a FAI sanctioned category 2 event, and supported by the Federasi Aero Sport Indonesia (FASI). As the name suggests, it is all about the landing accuracy and competitors were judged on a number of factors including the body positioning on landing and the distance from the target landing area. Competitors took off from the hill overlooking Are Guling 150 metres above sea level affording a panoramic bird’s eye view of the coastline.

Fittingly, Indonesians claimed the top four places in the men’s competition with the Euro 500 first prize and trophy going to winner Permadi Chandra. He was also a member of the four man Trunojoyo 1 team which came out on top in the team event. In the women’s event, Thailand’s Nunnapat Phuchong claimed victory.

CULTURE

17 August

Independence Day I

f you’re spending time in Lombok this month, you are sure to notice preparations being made for Indonesia’s 71st anniversary of independence from colonial rule.

Red and white, the national colours, will be flaunted everywhere around the country. Independence Day is celebrated on 17 August but preparations begin well in advance of the day, with banners, bunting, light instalments and decorations set up in cities, towns and villages alike. Street sellers set up stalls selling flags and bunting in all shapes and sizes. Teams of school children practise formation marching along the roads.

Schools, offices and public buildings are decked out in red and white.

The day itself is a national holiday. Before the festivities can get underway, the serious affairs must first take place. The flag hoisting happens with great pomp and ceremony at the National Palace in Jakarta and is televised live. The event is led by the President and Vice President and attended by government ministers, military brass, family members of the current and preceding president, diplomatic corps and honoured guests. Crowds gather on bleachers to watch lively musical performances from various provinces around the archipelago.

High school students from throughout the country are chosen for their marching skills and perform their steps and turns to hoist the flag. Flag raising and anthem singing ceremonies are also held at schools and offices around Indonesia.

Friendly neighbourhood competitions begin soon after. Some of the challenges include sack races and a kerupuk or a cracker eating contest, where participants race to eat a giant cracker

hanging from a string with their hands tied behind their backs.

Another unique event is a contest where men climb pinang tree trunks with prizes at the top. These are planted in the ground and then greased with oil and clay and whoever can climb to the top first gets dibs on the prize, ranging from bicycles to t-shirts to frying pans. This is one of the toughest and most entertaining events.

There are many ways for people to show pride in Indonesia, from joining rubbish collection campaigns to supporting local produce or even putting on a traditional batik shirt. Community work such as a clean-up of the area or a kerja bakti/gotong royong is organised by the local neighbourhood head a few days before. Gutters are swept, weeds are cut back, debris is burned and public areas are repainted, in spirit of a fresh new beginning. Women usually provide snacks to the people working and homeowners are expected to fly the flag for a period before and after Independence Day. Political observers, social scientists and those with opinions write ‘insights’ for newspapers and magazines on Indonesia’s progress since independence and challenges for the future.

Schools hold contests to see which class can decorate their classroom in the most patriotic manner as well as holding games and races amongst children. Costume parades are also very common, with people decked out in national dress from each island. The streets turn into a spectacular show of colour and culture.

If you want to join in the fun you will find that the local people will be more than happy to welcome you in their celebrations.

LOCAL PROFILE

Aray Dauley

Music in the Blood A

ray Daulay was born in Bandung, West Java, and spent a lot of his youth in Jakarta. An early love of music led to a professional career, and since then he has explored various musical styles. Moving from rock and grunge, to folk and reggae, he is now finding his musical expression in a way that isn't confined to one particular genre. He has had creative, and ongoing, collaborations with other successful musicians over the years. He spoke with My Lombok about some of his projects.

How far back can you trace your interest in music?

My dad was an awesome violinist. I think I got the music in my blood from him. My uncle and his friends also introduced me to Roots and Blues music when I was a young kid. I started playing music myself, jamming with friends in the street in Jakarta. I was always really interested in the guitar, so I taught myself how to play.

And how did you get into performing?

My first gig was for Indonesian Independence Day. That led to other smaller gigs and events in the Jakarta region. I was playing with some friends, and we were jamming a bit, and then we formed a grunge-rock band – Plastik – in the mid 90s. We were signed by Bulletin Records, and that was the start of my professional music career.

After that, in about 2004 we formed an Indonesian Reggae group, Steven and the Coconut Treez, and later Ray D’Sky, which had more of a folk sound. In 2013, we went back to rock'n'roll, and formed Daddy and The Hot Tea, with some of the old Plastik band members.

Then there was the Aray Daulay Project, which was an opportunity to play different kinds of music, without being restricted to one style.

Where do you go for inspiration?

I get most of my inspiration when I am outside, in nature – on the beach, mostly.

Do you prefer studio sessions or live gigs?

I like both, because they are really different vibes. I need both vibes.

Who's your favourite Indonesian musician?

Iwan Fals, for sure. He's also covered a lot of different musical styles, including ballads and protest songs.

Tell us about your new band, The Island Souls.

Since 2009, I have been playing in Bali with Iwan and Morris Orah. I have always had a really good connection with them.

Iwan was involved in The Coconut Trees and Ray D’Sky, and Morris is the drummer for Daddy and The Hot Tea. We have come together now for this new project, with Doneesura, who has just moved to Bali and has followed my music from the beginning, and others. We have a really good musical connection.

What else are you doing at the moment?

We are working on material for a new album – Aray Daulay And your plans for the future?

We'll just keep making good music and playing cool gigs.

CHEF INTERVIEW

SHARING THE FLAVOURS

Respecting the Boundaries

G

ianluca Visciglia first developed his love of food and cooking as a very young child growing up in Milan, in northern Italy. Memories of helping his father cook the family’s Sunday meal, and the rich flavours of his mother’s Risotto Milanese, started him on a path that has led to Qunci Villas in Mangsit, Lombok. As Executive Chef, he brings the separate and distinctive flavours of his various cooking experiences to Qunci Villas’ three beachside dining areas, and keeps them clear and fresh.

What made you decide to become a chef?

From an early age, I had always dreamed of becoming a chef.

My father didn’t want that for me, and sent me to study IT. I stayed with it for a year but then I left, and looked for ways to work with food. It was a slow beginning – starting in a butcher’s shop –but then I studied at the Culinary School in Florence, Italy and then went on to Pastry School.

How did your family react when you told them you had decided to become a chef?

My family never really reacted. I started to work in the kitchen, and by the time I became a chef I had already left home.

Tell us about your career so far.

It began in 2002, when I was a junior sous chef at the Natalino Restaurant, and later at Il Povero Pesce. By 2005 I was chef de cuisine at Il Ciliegiolo, and then I moved to Jakarta and took up a similar position at the Trattoria Ristorante Italiano.

In 2008, I went to the Philippines, as Executive Italian Chef at the Shangri-la Mactan Resort & Spa, in Cebu, and then worked as Executive sous chef at the Shangri-la Boracay Resort & Spa, in Aklan.

From 2012, I spent two years at the Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spain Oman, and in 2015 I came back to Indonesia, to the InterContinental Jakarta Midplaza, as Executive Chef.

Since May this year, I have been Executive Chef at Qunci Villas ....

50

How would you describe your style of cooking?

I prefer to keep it simple, and clear, rather than mix and match styles. I keep the ingredients as they are, and focus on maintaining a fresh taste. I like to present the dish in a beautiful way. I learn from the style of all the chefs I have worked with, and then add my own touch.

Tell us about the concept for your menu at Qunci Villas.

There are three different concepts. Quah is a Mediterranean restaurant, so I serve 100% authentic dishes there. Quali has an Asian and Seafood theme, so I stay with that. And in the Nooq Bar we have just introduced a Tapas Menu. I like to keep everything clear so as not to confuse guests. The twist comes in the presentation.

What inspires you as you look for ideas for dishes?

The place I work in inspires me. At Qunci I’m close to the sea, and there’s lots of open space. That gives me inspiration. All the products that are available inspire me too. When I go to the market and see all the fresh produce and new products, that also gives me ideas, and makes me think about how I can cook them.

What’s your favourite dish on the menu?

New Rendang. I love Indonesian cuisine, and I’ve brought this recipe with me. I compiled it, using recipes from two or three chefs I’ve worked with. It is truly delicious!

What do your customers like best?

The Tapas and Paella are the guests’ favourites.

What is your favourite ingredient to cook with?

Risotto. You can do anything with it – make salad, rice balls, or mix it with anything you want. In my home city we only eat risotto – very little pasta.

What are your favourite kitchen gadgets?

I would have to say the Thermal Bath Circulator. You can use it for cooking anything and it produces perfect results.

Describe a typical day at work.

I arrive at 8:30am and then we have a meeting. We check the breakfast, plan for the day, and then serve lunch. After an afternoon break, I return to oversee and control the dinner service.

When at home, what do you like to eat?

I am an adventurous eater and I’ll try anything. There are a very few things I don’t like. I cook a lot at home, but usually I make super simple dishes.

What is the biggest challenge in your job?

I would have to say finding time for myself. But when I do have spare time I go diving, and right now I am learning to play the drums. I also really like to sleep!

What do you like most about Lombok?

I love the people – what you see is what you get. The people here are very straightforward and real. They tell you how it is.

I also love the quality of ingredients you can get in Lombok, especially the fresh seafood and vegetables.

Other than creating great food, what are the most important qualities that make a successful chef?

First, you must love your job. Second, you also have to be able to work under pressure. Third – and this is the most important thing – you need absolute determination to be a good chef.

Any tips for budding chefs?

Stay motivated, and love what you do. Don’t think you can become Gordon Ramsay after one week. And finally, be humble!

Who is your favourite celebrity chef?

Igor Macchia. He is a 1-star Michelin chef in Italy. He cooks very simple dishes, but always presents them beautifully. He doesn’t mix and match cuisines. He is also a very humble chef.

If you hadn’t become a chef, what would you be doing right now?

That’s easy! I would be a rock star for sure – I love music!

JAMU

T

body odour. Many of these formulas have remained unchanged from when they were used by Javanese royalty hundreds of years ago.

In Indonesia, herbal remedies, known as jamu, have been widely used for centuries and it is estimated by the World Health Organisation that 70% of the population still use them today.

Archaeological findings, including a number of relief carvings on the famous Borobudur temple in Central Java, show that herbs and spices have been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Jamu can be taken fresh every day, with the majority of ingredients being able to be grown in any tropical garden, but preparing the concoctions is very time consuming and most people prefer to buy them ready prepared.

Factories producing the herbal medicine prove just how big the Jamu industry still is. Large companies mass produce a broad selection of Jamu and sell them in drugstores in sachet packaging. In modern Indonesia, doctors working in private hospitals still don’t consider Jamu to be legitimate medicine.

But for the average Indonesian, very little has changed over the centuries. Western-style health care is rarely used by poorer Indonesians, while western medications are out of reach because of their cost. It’s not surprising then that the relatively low priced Jamu is as popular as ever. Today, this herbal medicine is also sold in the form of capsules, tablets and caplets.

he use of herbal medicine has been on the rise globally in recent years. People are now turning to this alternative as research is showing the value of herbal medicine in treating and preventing disease.

Jamu sellers can be found throughout Indonesia, but most commonly in Java, where they carry bamboo baskets filled with glass bottles of the concoctions and travel through villages, selling their goods. There are also modest street and market stalls specialising in fresh Jamu.

There is a recipe for anything you could think of, from easing labour pains to increasing strength to treating coughs and fevers and protecting children from disease. There are also non-health related uses for Jamu, amongst others those which are used to enhance sexual pleasure rather than specifically cure illness.

The Jamu industry also has a big cosmetic market with formulas for dieting, body slimming, hair and skin care and preventing

A large variety of leaves, fruit, roots and flowers are used to make up Jamu prescriptions, but turmeric is one of the most popular. Turmeric is one of the world’s most well researched and arguably the most powerful ingredient. With its positive effects against most types of cancer, the active ingredient Curcumin proves its anti-inflammatory and pain-killing benefits. In Jamu it is used for detoxifying, to curb snoring, to ease menstrual pain and to reduce body odour.

Ginger is another ingredient which, like turmeric, is used in many Asian dishes – no coincidence as it is loaded with health protecting compounds. Ginger is used for its anti-nausea properties during pregnancy and for motion sickness and has been used in post-chemotherapy nausea and vomiting.

56

In Jamu it is used to remove wind and cold which traditionally are seen as the main causes of pain. Ginger is also good against gastrointestinal cramps and in reducing inflammation in different conditions including arthritis. It is an antioxidant and has shown huge potential as an anticancer agent. When used alongside turmeric the two herbs have a synergising effect.

Other common herbs include galangal, for seasickness and sore throat. Singers often drink concoctions with this root to keep their vocal cords performing at top notch. Lemongrass is used for alertness, to stop gum bleeding and repel mosquitoes, whilst sulphur heals rashes and itchy skin so is frequently used in beauty products.

Tamarind is an important addition to Jamu as it gives a sweet taste to balance out the mild bitterness of the other ingredients.

Rich in Vitamin C, it is both a natural preservative and an antioxidant. Medically, tamarind is a laxative and helps promote bowel movement. It also has a cooling effect on the body and helps relieve nausea.

Because Jamu is completely natural, it can be drunk as often as wanted and still be safe with no risk of overdosing, unlike pharmaceutical medications which may have harmful side effects. Totally natural and overflowing with health benefits, it truly is Indonesia’s ‘wonder juice’.

LUXURY LIVING

VILLA BLISS A hillside haven of eye catching contemporary style with ocean panoramas to match

T

here are a handful of notable villas in Lombok that tick all the right boxes for eye-catching minimalist luxe but very few scale the same heights as new Villa BLISS. Perched in a lofty position above South Lombok’s Tanjung Aan, it offers a striking contrast to the rich blue hues and verdant greens of the landscape. With a façade coated in dazzling white with a contemporary sloping roof, it’s an arresting post-modern sight from afar. However it is only with a stay that you can truly appreciate all the unique design quirks and the comforts of an upscale tropical villa lifestyle.

The striking design of Villa BLISS accentuates the open plan indoor-outdoor living concept. High interior walls and abundant use of floor-to-ceiling glass offer ample natural daylight and a sense of scale. Polished terrazo floors blend in unison with the white walls and the contrasting shades of wood in this expansive fourbed property. Throughout there is a clean, uncluttered feel where exterior and living and dining spaces blend seamlessly, adorned with touches of decorative art such as hand-carved Balinese statues. The contrasting materials used in the construction, from the mosaic stone walls to the latticed wood, add to the contemporary artistry.

Although Villa BLISS is designed as an expansive open plan haven with few boundaries, the general layout affords options for compartmentalized living and added privacy. It is set over three floors with the main level housing all the communal areas separating the bedrooms. The lower level features a master en-suite and two more double bedrooms with direct access to the private garden, while the main master bedroom covers the entire upper floor benefitting from captivating ocean views.

The villa opens out onto a wide terrace and its standout feature, the 18-metre swimming pool complete with swim-up bar stools. In addition there is a stylish contemporary gazebo and BBQ station for more al fresco wining and dining options. Back indoors is the media room, the only fully enclosed communal space where guests can watch big screen movies or indulge in Playstation gaming. There is also that rare pleasure of a private pool table.

Villa BLISS is operated and managed by Origin Resorts Group, which is well noted for its arty contemporary design concepts. They are supported by a team of dedicated staff, including resident chef, gardener, villa attendants, housekeeping and security, and all of which hail from the local area.

The panoramic landscapes and luxe contemporary comforts of Villa BLISS set it apart from most in the upscale villa scene in this part of Lombok. It exudes inimitable style of course but also acts as a highly functional luxury home from home with inspiring panoramas from virtually every vantage point.

ASTROLOGY — AUGUST 2016

horoscopeofthemonth Aries (March 21–April 19) You like attention even if it is the wrong type of attention. That is what you are likely to receive this month. Sometimes you run too fast Ram, stirring up speculation at the type of trouble you are getting into. The people gossiping about you are devious too playing at being your friend, while stabbing you in the back. Your best course of action is to be circumspect in what you do, and don’t reveal your secrets to anyone.

Leo (July 23–August 22) Where others get stuck in the mire you can maneuver nimbly through life’s troubles. You are especially good at juggling responsibilities, which is good, because the boss has plenty of them for you.

What may be more difficult to manage is that people in charge don’t want to be pushed a decision or to action. While you are very sure about the direction you want to take, you’ll have to cool your heels waiting for approval.

Taurus (April 20–May 20) It seems that everything is going your way just as it has for the past year. However, the planet of action, Mars, in an unsympathetic sign stirs up some trouble for you. Someone has dumped a load of responsibility that you aren’t sure you know how to handle. In truth, you’d rather work smart than hard, but you can’t wiggle out of the work that easily.

Think the situation through and take your time to reach a solution.

Virgo (August 23–September 22) With the ruler of your sign, intellectually sharp Mercury visiting your sun this month nothing can wrong, can it? That is up to you, Virgo, because you have a penchant for turning the obscure statement, or the raising of an eyebrow into a scathing attack upon your good character. You try so hard to be good, how can anyone criticize you. Relax, Virgo. You are the one handing down the verbal castigation. Be kind to yourself.

Gemini (May 21–June 20) Quick-silvered tongue Twins never know when to keep things to themselves. You know this a problem, Gemini, and yet, for you, discretion is not the better part of valor. You can better use your quick wit to think through some critical issues. Things to mull over. How you aren’t perfect. Why other people expect so much from you and why you should care.

Reflect rather than react.

Libra (September 23–October 22) Love and money occupy your mind this month as the planet of such things, Venus stirs up your sun sign. As usual, its hard for you to pass up the latest bargain or trendy thing. The planet of action, Mars, makes a favorable energetic connection whipping you to action and a sense of urgency. Please take your time in considering purchases. Some of them may have you shaking your head down the road.

Cancer (June 21–July 22) Things go rather well for you this month as long as you avoid your responsibilities. It’s quite pleasant to live in your cave far from the maddening crowd.

There is nothing wrong with withdrawing from the world, Cancer. Religious people have done many times through the centuries. The problem for you is that you do need social contact, if only to keep you from being unbearable crabby. Go see a movie.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21) You are able to get practical advice from influential people. It is up to you to act on the advice to advantage of the benefits available to you. However, check on the fine print before you sign on the dotted line. There may be a some flaw or unfavorable term that escapes a first read. Communications with brothers and sisters are pleasant but leaves you concerned about the health of an older family member.

70

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) Normally energetic, you feel as if someone put high octane in your energy tank. Courtesy of the planet of action in your sign, you are bursting with plans, schemes and activity. You sense the opportunity for gain and you take it. But you are so busy that you forget to watch your limits, either your body’s or the speed limit. Slow down, pace yourself and keep an out for the other guy.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) Money runs out of your bank account faster than in, which for a Capricorn is an event to incite high panic. With planets in the perfectionistic sign of Virgo connecting with your sun, you make to make everything just so. Perhaps there is home repair you’ve put off, or a piece of art or furniture you want to buy. Sometimes, Capricorn, you just need to spend the cash. Quality will last longer than the cheap fix.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) The move of the planet of energy in Sagittarius gives the Waterbearer a boost of needed energy.

You handle extra work with ease and have fun with it too. Money issues are a concern. There are things that need to be done, and you struggle between spending the money to do it right and cutting corners. You can splurge a little. Next month, the planet of abundance, Jupiter, swings so sweet deals your way.

Pisces (February 19–March 20) You are stronger than you know and much stronger than other people suspect. There are a few people who seem to have nothing but criticism to offer you. Most of it is just picky, some of it mean. Play your ability to focus on only the good in life to your advantage. A fight involves two people and you have better things to do. Hold you head high and continue on your business.

This is Lombok!

Lombok’s time is here and now, having finally stepped out of Bali’s shadow, showcasing to the world its unique mix of adventure, pristine natural scenery and captivating art and culture. A new airport, international yacht marina and improved roads have made travel to and within Lombok much easier, but it is its untamed natural beauty and traditional charm that captivates. It is an adventure-seeker’s paradise, home to world-class scuba diving, surfing and mountain climbing yet travellers looking for a cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and luxury creature comforts will not be short of options. Experience the best of Lombok with these recommended highlights and hidden gems:

Senggigi and The West Coast Senggigi, just a short drive from the island capital Mataram is Lombok’s premier beach resort, extending along a series of sweeping bays. The main beach strip is fringed by a wide expanse of sand framed nightly by spectacular ocean sunsets. It is a fairly spread out beach town that rarely feels overcrowded yet there is a broad variety of places to stay, eat and socialise. There is a vibrant expat community here with lots of opportunity for sports and leisure, business networking and searching out those hard to find imported goods. Senggigi is the best place to arrange days out and guided trips to other parts of Lombok. The beach road then winds its way north to upmarket Mangsit, dotted with hip boutique hotels and villas among some of west Lombok’s most captivating scenery. In all, the Senggigi area stretches for almost 10 km along the west coast, and away from the main tourist centre, comprises numerous palm fringed beaches dotted with colourful fishing boats.

74

Gili Islands A trio of tiny tropical islands off the northwest coast, known simply as ‘the Gilis’ are the go-to place for laid-back island life and the simple pleasures of sun, sea and superb scuba diving. Each of these three islands has its own distinctive atmosphere; the smallest is Gili Meno, a peaceful tropical island haven with few distractions other than deserted white sand beaches and a couple of chilled out beach bars. Legendary ‘party island’ Gili Trawangan is largest and most cosmopolitan of the Gili Islands with no shortage of swanky boutique villas, diverse dining and plenty of action after dark. Gili Air, located closest to the Lombok mainland, sits somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and has the most authentic local atmosphere. The enduring appeal of the Gili Islands is the refreshing absence of any motorised transport making for a pleasant alternative to Bali’s congested beach resorts. Scuba diving is still the main draw and it is one of Asia’s top spots to learn the basics and get qualified. For landlubbers, there are few better places to get horizontal on a tropical beach and soak up the unique island vibe.

Kuta and South Lombok Like its namesake in Bali, Kuta Lombok is synonymous with world-class waves but thankfully without the hassle of 24/7 traffic and infuriating beach hawkers. In fact, Lombok’s south coast surf breaks are more than a match for the best in Bali, and savvy surfers are heading here to enjoy miles of uncrowded, adrenaline-fuelled waves. Kuta, invitingly close to Lombok’s new international airport, is the main tourist hub yet remains a fairly tranquil tropical haven favoured by both surfers and adventurous families. It makes for a great base for exploring the rugged southern coastline dotted with numerous breathtaking beaches. Scenic highlights include up-andcoming Tanjung A’an, Gerupak and isolated Ekas Bay.

The Southwest Lombok’s ruggedly beautiful southwest peninsular is largely unexplored by visitors but is now getting serious recognition with the discovery of superb offshore scuba diving and miles of deserted beaches. The main gateway is Sekotong Bay, located just south of Lombok’s main ferry port Lembar and is the jumping off point for Lombok’s ‘Secret Gilis.’

These small offshore islands feature pristine coral reefs and idyllic tropical beaches for a real castaway experience. Heading south, the coastal road winds its way past tiny fishing communities and secluded bays all the way to the tip of the peninsular where the legendary surf breaks of Bangko Bangko (Desert Point) are found — rated among the best in the world.

Mount Rinjani For an alternative to surf, scuba and sandy beaches, a trek up the immense Rinjani volcano is hard to beat. At over 3,700 meters, this is Indonesia’s second highest volcano and makes for challenging 3–4 day trek but the views are definitely worth all the effort. The mountain dominates much of north Lombok and the caldera alone covers a mind-boggling 50 square kilometres. Most climbers only go as far as the crater rim which offers vertigoinducing views down into the volcanic lake but the extra effort to get to the summit will be rewarded with views as far as Java and eastwards across to the island of Sumbawa.

If this all sounds too arduous for comfort, the mountain’s foothills offer a wealth of leisurely hiking opportunities. Head to Senaru village for easy-going walks through remote weaving villages and dense jungle to uncover a succession of scenic waterfalls.
