Getting to Lombok is easy and affordable for digital nomads. The fastest way is to fly into Lombok International Airport (LOP), with direct flights from Bali, Jakarta, or Surabaya. Flights from Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport are frequent and budget-friendly, taking just 30 minutes.
You can also take a public ferry or fast boat from Bali, ideal if you’d like scenic views; ferries from Padang Bai to Lembar take about 4–5 hours, while fast boats to Bangsal or Senggigi are quicker but pricier. From October 10 to 17, weather is generally dry, but occasional rain may affect boat schedules—be sure to double-check before traveling. Local taxis, Gojek, and rental scooters make getting around Lombok simple.
Lombok enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, typically ranging from 24°C to 32°C. There are two main seasons: the dry season from May to October and the wet season from November to April. Humidity is generally high, but breezes from the sea offer some respite.
From October 10 to October 17, Lombok is at the tail end of the dry season. Expect mostly sunny skies, minimal rainfall, and comfortable conditions, ideal for outdoor adventures, beach activities, and exploring local arts and culture. No extreme weather events are usually expected during this period, making it a great time for festivals, gastronomy, and experiencing the island’s vibrant nightlife.
Lombok’s cuisine is known for spicy and flavorful dishes like ayam taliwang (grilled spicy chicken), plecing kangkung (water spinach with chili sauce), and fresh seafood. For drinks, try local Lombok coffee or “es kelapa muda” (young coconut). Warungs and street stalls around Mataram and Senggigi offer affordable, authentic meals.
Popular spots for digital nomads include Ashtari Lounge & Kitchen, The Bus Bar, and El Bazar in Kuta, which serve a blend of local and international dishes with good WiFi. Night markets and beachfront cafes in Senggigi are great for budget-friendly bites. Vegetarian and vegan options are also easy to find, especially in tourist areas.
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; rounding up the bill or leaving small change is common. Lombok is predominantly Muslim, so pork and alcohol are less common outside tourist spots—be culturally considerate, especially during Ramadan.
For a digital nomad on an average budget, Senggigi is a top choice with reliable Wi-Fi and a lively vibe; check out hotels like Katamaran Resort or affordable villas on Booking.com or Agoda. Kuta in South Lombok offers chic boutique hotels and stylish villas such as Origin Lombok, plus plenty of cafés to work from.
For a quieter stay, consider villas around Sire Beach or in Gili Air, where you’ll find beachfront accommodation and coworking spots. October is still shoulder season, so prices are moderate, but book ahead for better deals, especially from October 10–17, as local events can increase occupancy. Always confirm Wi-Fi speed before booking.
Settle into Lombok’s local rhythm by exploring the city’s lively arts and cultural corners and connecting with the digital nomad community for new friendships.
Immerse yourself in Lombok’s cultural history at the Mataram Museum. Explore traditional Sasak arts, textiles, and historical artifacts. This is a great way to anchor your understanding of the island’s roots on your first day. Audio guides are available for a more insightful visit.
Meet fellow travelers and local remote professionals at a popular coworking hub in Mataram. Participate in an open networking meetup usually held on Fridays, and get tips for working and exploring Lombok as a digital nomad.
