The Tanjung Ringgit peninsula in Southeast Lombok is one of Indonesia’s best kept secrets not far from Lombok International Airport. It is home to untouched beaches, including one of the world’s few pink beaches, pristine coral reefs, dramatic limestone cliffs and the last protected forest in south Lombok. All with Mt. Rinjani as a stunning backdrop., The Tanjung Ringgit Ecoegion is 340+ ha where only 10% of the land will be developed, leaving 90% as a haven for wildlife.
On the other side of the Alas Strait, only 40 minutes with a speedboat from Tanjung Ringgit and beside the new Kiantar Airport, you find the Eight Islands EcoRegion, an untouched archipelago in Northwest Sumbawa, with pristine islands sitting on a forest of coral, surrounded by crystal clear water perfect for water sports such as diving, snorkelling, kayaking and stand-up paddling.
