A Relaxing Holiday at Holiday Resort Lombok

After three days in the Gili Islands, our group continued our vacation by going to mainland Lombok. We stayed at Holiday Resort Lombok, which is a resort nestled on a pristine beach of Mangsit Village. It was our home for two days. It was our beautiful sanctuary giving us a perfect holiday while in the island.

It was late afternoon when our group reached the resort. It was a little over an hour drive from Bangsal Port with some stopovers to sight-see. The staff greeted us upon our arrival.

For an outdoor dining and traditional Indonesian delights, we spent our dinner at Kayangan. The restaurant is situated along the beach. They serve both a la carte and buffets. We sampled some local Lombok dishes. And of course, there was also my favorite Nasi Goreng. The restaurant also has live entertainment every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. Luckily, we were there on Monday and we were able to jam with their resident musicians.
