The busiest months include:

June to September– summer holidays
December & January – Christmas and New Year break

If you’re traveling during these months, it’s best to book your fast boat, flights, and accommodations well in advance.
The Lombok Lodge is often fully booked, so early reservations are highly recommended.

Lombok and Boutique Hotel The Lombok Lodge also experiences high demand during major domestic holidays, such as:

Idul Fitri (End of Ramadan) – A peak travel time for local tourists and ex-pats
Chinese New Year (January/February) – A popular period for regional travelers
Balinese New Year (Nyepi, March) – Many non-Hindus and ex-pats escape Bali for a relaxing break in Lombok
