senggigi, named after a princess in local legend, is the main tourist centre on lombok. the resort area is about 10 km north of ampenan, and about 20 minutes drive from the island'selaparang airport. nowhere near as large or as busy as its bali counterparts, senggigi is a great base for exploring the rest of island.
the pace is very laid-back, with activities centred around the beaches and day trips to places interest, wich are all within a few hours drive from the town. at night, dine inthe many restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets, listen to live music at the bars, or dance the niht away at the nightclubs.
senggigi beach is the large bay that forms the centre of senggigi, with the main road running parallel to the beach and large resorts occupying the space between. the beach provides picturesque views of bali's gunung agung to the west and stunning sunsets with the vulcano silhoutted on the horizon.
senggigi reef, off the point near the senggigi beach hotel, has good coral for snorkelling and, in the right conditions, some decent surf breaks. canoes can be hired from the beach on weekend and during peak tourism times. local outrigger boats ( perahu) can be chartered from the beachfront for trips along the coast or out to the gilis.
the main road in senggigi is lined with small shop,tours agencies,restaurants, bars and nightclubs. there are a couple of supermarkets, numerous ATM's and moneycharger, a post office and all the normal tourist facilities. senggigi is a relaxing and attractives place to stay, with a good range of luxury hotels adn resorts, as well as mid-range and budget accommodations.
