Mimpi Manis

South Lombok


Run by Made and Gemma, a friendly Balinese/British couple, 'Sweet Dreams' is an inviting B&B offering spotless dorm and private rooms, some with air-con and showers. Located 1km inland, it's more peaceful than central Kuta options, with plenty of good books to borrow. It also offers a free drop-off service to the beach and town, plus bike and motorbike rental.

Snorkelling trips to the Southwest Gilis are from 350,000Rp per person, and six-hour fishing trips are 600,000Rp (minimum two people). The owners will prepare a barbecue of your catch at no extra charge.
