About This Destination

Selong Belanak is universally celebrated as Lombok's friendliest beach. Tucked into an expansive sheltered crescent bay in South Lombok, its turquoise waters roll into gentle sandy-bottom breaks that make it the ultimate learning ground for surfing beginners. In late afternoon, local farmers slowly herd their water buffalo across the shoreline, creating an iconic, peaceful Lombok postcard.
