Senggigi Beach might be Lombok's equivalent to Bali's Kuta Beach, but it's far more quiet and peaceful and the nightlife here is also more limited. The place is located north of Mataram and not far from the airport, many tourists prefer to stay here the first days before they explore the rest of the island, but you can also use Senggigi as your permanent base. Senggigi is clearly the most developed tourist area on Lombok, but stretches over a wide area and is still not overdeveloped. It is recommended to enjoy the sunset from a restaurant by the beach, the nightlife is not as varied as on Bali, but there are some pubs and nightclubs with live music.
Senggigi, named after a princess in local legend, is the main tourist center in Lombok and the most developed tourist area.

The resort area about 10 Kilometers north of Ampenan, and about 20 minutes drive from the Lombok international Airport. Nowhere near as large or as busy as its Bali conterparts, Senggigi is a great base for exploring the rest of the island. The pace is very laid back, with activities centered around the beaches and day trips to places of interest, which are all with in ferw hours drive from the town. At night dine in the many restaurants catering to all tastest and budgets, listen the live music at the cafes or Bars or dance the night away at the night clubs.
Senggigi is the large bay that forms the center of Senggigi, with the main road running parrarel to the beach, and large resorts occupying the space between. The beach provides views of Bali's Agung Mountain to the west and stunning sunsets with the volacano silhouetted on the horizon. Senggigi reef has good coral for snorkelling and in the right conditions, some decent surf breaks.
 
The main road in Senggigi is lined with small shops, Restaurants, Bars, Travel agencies and Night Clubs.
