With a fortnight to spare, you can truly savour the island, and this Lombok 2 week itinerary covers everything: southern beaches, the volcano, waterfalls, culture and island-hopping, all at a relaxed pace. Here is how to spend fourteen unforgettable days without ever feeling rushed.
Two weeks lets you go deep rather than wide, mixing active adventures like a Mount Rinjani trek with plenty of slow beach and island time.
Lombok 2 Week Itinerary Overview
This Lombok 2 week itinerary flows from the south’s beaches to the central highlands and volcano, then finishes island-hopping the Gilis. Build in rest days and flex around the Lombok weather.
Days 1 to 5: The South
Settle around Kuta, exploring Selong Belanak, Tanjung Aan and the surf spots. Add a spa day, sunset viewpoints and long lunches to ease into island time.
Days 6 to 9: Volcano and Culture
Head inland for waterfalls, the rice terraces of Tetebatu, and either a Mount Rinjani trek or its stunning viewpoints. Visit Sade village for weaving and traditional architecture.
Days 10 to 14: Island-Hopping
Finish on the Gilis, splitting time between the lively Gili Trawangan and quieter secret Gilis. Snorkel, dive, cycle and relax before returning for your onward flight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 2 weeks too long for Lombok?
Not at all. Two weeks lets you enjoy beaches, the volcano, waterfalls, culture and island-hopping at a genuinely relaxed pace.
Should I include a Rinjani trek?
If you enjoy hiking, yes. A multi-day Rinjani trek fits comfortably within two weeks, or opt for its viewpoints instead.
Can I combine Lombok with Bali?
Easily. Bali is a short flight or fast boat away, so you can add a few Bali days to either end of your trip.
Flexibility and Rest Days
The luxury of two weeks is time, so resist the urge to fill every day. Weather, boat schedules and simple tiredness all benefit from built-in rest days and flexible plans. Keep one or two days completely open to follow recommendations from fellow travellers or locals, which often lead to the best experiences. Alternate active days, like a trek or a long ride, with slow beach days to avoid burnout. A relaxed, adaptable rhythm is what turns a good fortnight into a genuinely restorative island holiday.
