Why Visit Selong Belanak?
Selong Belanak is one of Lombok’s most picturesque beaches, with its curved shoreline and powdery white sands. It’s the perfect spot for beginner surfers to catch their first waves or for travellers to simply bask in the sun. The calm and crystal-clear waters make it an inviting destination for everyone. The beach is also backed by rolling green hills that create a natural amphitheatre, making it one of the most photographically striking beaches in all of Lombok. Sunsets here are spectacular, drawing locals and visitors to the water’s edge each evening.
From Selong Belanak, you can also explore nearby beaches like Tomang-Omang and Mawi, each offering its own unique beauty.

Exploring Lombok Beyond Selong Belanak
While Selong Belanak is the highlight of this part of the island, the region has much more to offer. Kuta Lombok — distinct from Bali’s Kuta — is a surfer and backpacker hub just 20 minutes away, with consistent waves and a relaxed atmosphere. The traditional Sasak villages of Sade and Rambitan offer an authentic window into Lombok’s indigenous culture, with hand-woven ikat textiles and traditional lumbung rice barns. For those venturing further, the three Gili Islands are accessible by boat from the north of the island — each offering a different island experience from lively to serene and romantic.

Selong Belanak is also an ideal base for day trips to Secret Gili — a small, car-free island just offshore with turquoise water and swaying palms. The journey by local boat takes less than ten minutes and delivers you to one of the most peaceful spots in all of southern Indonesia. If you prefer to stay on land, the road along the southern coast passes through a succession of striking bays, each one quieter than the last, making a scooter journey in either direction from Selong Belanak one of the great small adventures of any visit to this part of Indonesia.
