TRAVEL TOGETHER
Make this trip work for your group
A Senggigi base leaves breaks between coast and village outings.
- Adjust the route
- Omit the long Sade outing if needed and shorten departure-day Malimbu.
- Check your room
- Compare the bed layout and room occupancy for your group. For friends, confirm separate beds or rooms; for couples, check the booked room category and outlook.

ARC RECORD · INDONESIA
Beach time is part of the plan, but there’s more to see. Stay three nights around Senggigi, with separate outings to a coastal temple and a Sasak village.
For two adults arriving at LOP before noon and leaving after 6 pm on Day 4. Senggigi is away from the airport and Sade lies to the south, so road transfers are part of the plan. Leave Gili ferries and Rinjani trekking for separate trips, keeping time to rest on the main island.

MAKE IT YOUR TRIP
Keep the moments you came for
Make time for this
Contrast Senggigi’s coast with Sade’s living culture. After a day-two Malimbu visit, skip the northward detour before heading south to the airport.
Arrange the trip around it
Check your hotel’s actual beach and arrange the Sade round trip. The Gili Islands would need a whole-day replacement and separate boat planning; drop the final viewpoint first if time is tight.

- 02View public areas and the coast, following dress and ceremony guidance and staying clear of restricted rocks.
- 03Return after lunch for a break from the heat.
- 04Choose your afternoon: enjoy the pool and room, or take a car to a public Malimbu viewpoint before dinner in Senggigi. If you visit Malimbu today, leave it out of departure day.
Keep the visit respectful and compact; coastal rocks are not a swimming launch point.
Sade village: houses and weaving

- 02Use local guidance in public visitor areas and ask before photographing residents or entering homes.
- 03Browse textiles and ask about prices and production if interested, without treating shopping as a condition of visiting.

Sade is a living community. Check guide, contribution and entry arrangements before leaving and adapt the visit accordingly.
A short Malimbu viewpoint stop before departure

- 04Leave for LOP to the south. Skip Malimbu if the transfer buffer is insufficient.
The Malimbu photograph is an evening reference view; this departure-day stop is in the morning, without waiting for sunset.
PLAN WITH A REASON
Why this route works
Senggigi and resorts farther north
Bases farther north, including Mangsit, may need rides for town dinners. Compare beach access alongside the return airport journey.
Reserve one day for the south
Give Sade its own day rather than making it a stop immediately before flying, so a delayed visit doesn’t compress airport procedures.
