Lombok
Best Hostels in Kuta Lombok
Not to be confused with Bali's Kuta, Kuta Lombok is a relaxed town on Lombok's south coast: a gateway to a string of beautiful bays and uncrowded waves, with a slower pace and lower prices than Bali.
Surf
Breaks for every level within a short scooter or boat ride: gentle waves at Are Guling and Gerupuk for beginners and intermediates, heavier reef breaks for more experienced surfers, and far emptier line-ups than in Bali.
Vibe
Easy-going and still relatively undeveloped, with a friendly traveller scene, good warungs and cafes, and a surf-and-explore feel rather than a party one.
Good for
- Beating the Bali crowds
- All surf levels
- Budget travellers
- Exploring beyond the beach
What to look for
Whether the hostel arranges transport to the breaks (they're spread along the coast and sometimes you need a boat), whether bike hire is easy, and how central it is to the town centre where the evening scene happens.
