Senggigi is the main tourist strip of the Indonesian island of Lombok, stretched out along several kilometers of the beachfront just to the north of the capital, Mataram. The site of a building frenzy in the late 1990s when Lombok was hyped to be the next Bali, the communal violence of 2000 and the 2002 Bali bombing dealt Senggigi a severe blow, with tourist numbers declining precipitously and many construction projects halted.
The unspoiled natural beauty of Gili Air sets the perfect scene for a secluded island vacation. Chill out with a drink at a beachside bar or cafe, or hit the water for some superb reef diving and snorkeling. Labyrinthine walking paths snake all over the island, including a coastal path that will take you all the way around the island in about an hour and a half.
