Living in Bali’s Shadow, but Maybe Not for Long by Eric Weiner, NY Times writer and author of the book The Geography of BlissThere’s plenty of peace of mind to be found on Lombok. I spent a few nights at Qunci Villas, a minimalist, oh-so-Zen boutique resort that heralds the possible Bali-fication of Lombok.In the evenings, I nibbled on shrimp bruschetta while sipping a mojito and listening to electronica, which wafts through the air, fresh and inviting.
Where To Stay:
Qunci Villas (Jalan Raya Mangsit Senggigi; 62-370-693-800; www. quncivillas.com) Dubbed Lombok’s hippest hotel and for good reason. The theme is minimalist serenity. The 20 rooms go for $70 to 90, private villas for $300 and up.
