Located on a series of sweeping bays, Senggigi has become the most developed tourist area on Lombok with beaches just a few minutes to the north of Senggigi, such as the Mangsit District where Qunci Villas is situated, catering to the upmarket traveller. After a day of relaxing in the sun on the beach, followed by yet another spectacular sunset, the town of Senggigi is the prime spot on Lombok for nightlife entertainment. Malimbu Hill:just a couple of kilometres north of Qunci Villas, a great place for photographers with its spectacular panoramic views of Lombok and Gili Islands. Nature and Sunset Excursion: Visit the market at Sideman Village, then to Pusuk Pass high in the forests of Lombok to see the wild monkeys and take some magnificent photographs of the north of Lombok. Cycling Excursion:Visit the villages near Qunci Villas and Senggigi as well as Kebun Ruwek, the local market. Starting from Senggigi, head in the direction of Ampenan passing through the exciting villages Tanak Embet, rice fields along the way, the Fisherman's village at Pondok Perasi Ampenan followed by Kebun Ruwek. Batu Bolong Temple: South of Senggigi, the Batu Bolong Temple juts out into the sea. The Temple offers a fantastic view to its visitors. Legend has it that beautiful virgins were once thrown into the sea from the top of the rock and this is the reason, locals claim, why there are so many sharks in the water at this particular location. Facing Bali's Mount Gunung Agung across the Lombok Straits, Batu Bolong Temple is a perfect place to watch the sunset.
