Bali is known as the island of Gods. It is influenced by its Hindu religion and culture and it has many to offer. Bali offers the beaches, surfing spot and snorkeling spot, the padi field, temples and art galleries if you are into culture as well. We have fond memories watching Kecak dance at Tanah Lot and visiting the monkey forest - just be sure to hold on to your valuables at the monkey forest.
- Lombok and the three Gili islands

Lombok is located close to Bali and a similar yet different than Bali. We love visiting Lombok because it is not as touristy and snorkeling and swimming near the Gili island beaches are one of the best memory of our trip in Indonesia. The three Gili (which translates to islands) that are well known are Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. That is why we named our best seller batik face masks the Gili and Lombok collections.
We'll be adding more top destinations to visit in Indonesia in the future. We'd love to take two months off and just travel across Indonesia. Where would you like to travel to?
