Is Lombok really cheaper than Bali? We compare accommodation, food, transport, surfing and nightlife to find out where your money actually goes further.

Seven days, one island, and an itinerary that takes you from the surf breaks and white sand beaches of South Lombok to jungle waterfalls, mountain valleys, and rice field villages in the north and east. This is the Lombok loop and it covers the best the island has to offer at a relaxed, unhurried pace.
