Dreaming of an island holiday where you can leave the stresses of day-to-day life behind? You’re in luck! This year we are predicting Lombok, Indonesia to be the must visit destination of 2020. Blessed with year-round incredible weather and an endless list of activities – the question isn’t if, but when you will be going to Lombok.
If you’re in Australia and planning a return trip to Lombok, or if you’re dreaming of your very first island getaway, you’re in luck – travelling to Lombok just got a whole lot easier! AirAsia has direct flights between Perth (PER) and Lombok (LOP) Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with a flight time just shy of 4 hours. Flights from Perth will depart at 6:35pm and return at 2:15pm from Lombok.
And why is this such big news?
Well, up until now Lombok has been plagued with deterrence due to the August 2018 earthquakes and people always thought that the airport was too far away from the Gili Islands = to far away from paradise. You might not have realised that Lombok herself is back in her full glory and rebuilt herself better than ever.
This new direct connection will more than quarter your travel time if you are coming from Perth, as there are no layovers in with Bali or Kuala Lumpur – meaning you can reach paradise much faster. Lombok International Airport is just a 20-minute drive from Kuta, 30-minutes from Selong and only an hour from Tanjung.
Our concierge team can arrange airport transfers for you and your group, meaning you can sit back and relax and enjoy a hassle-free transfer. Once its time to explore, our team have first-hand knowledge of the best restaurants, tours and day trips and can arrange anything from surfing tours and island hopping adventures, to in-villa dinner parties or personalised requests with your villa ready for your arrival.
AirAsia has been flying direct between Perth and Lombok from June 2019 and will continue this commitment all year round. Lombok is becoming a must-visit destination for its easily reached by regular flights from Perth, Bali, Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. With such easy access to this island playground and pricing available at an incredible value – now is the perfect time to start planning your next island getaway.
