🌿 7 Hidden Gems in Lombok You Can Reach from Qunci Villas

Beyond Lombok’s golden beaches and serene sunsets lies a world of quiet treasures — waterfalls, villages, and landscapes that feel untouched by time. Staying at Qunci Villas puts you within easy reach of some of the island’s most magical spots. Here are seven hidden gems you won’t want to miss.

💦 Tiu Kelep Waterfall – Nature’s Cathedral
Nestled deep in the lush rainforest at the foot of Mount Rinjani, Tiu Kelep Waterfall is Lombok’s most iconic cascade — a towering veil of mist and sound. A scenic three-hour drive from Qunci Villas brings you to Senaru Village, where a short jungle trek leads to this breathtaking spot. Don’t miss the smaller Sendang Gile Waterfall just below — perfect for a refreshing dip.
🏝️ Gili Nanggu – The Secret Island Escape
A short drive and boat ride from Qunci Villas takes you to Gili Nanggu, a pristine little island off Lombok’s southwest coast. Powder-white sand, turquoise waters, and barely any crowds make it the ideal place to snorkel hand in hand with colorful reef fish — or simply relax in total seclusion.
🏞️ Benang Kelambu Waterfall – A Curtain of Green
Unlike any other waterfall, Benang Kelambu seems to flow through a living wall of greenery. Located in Central Lombok, this multi-tiered cascade is framed by dense tropical forest and feels like stepping into a natural cathedral. It’s less visited than Tiu Kelep, but every bit as magical.
🐚 Nambung Beach – The Natural “Saltwater Waterfall”
Along Lombok’s southern coastline lies Nambung Beach, where crashing waves hit the rocks and cascade back down like a salty waterfall. It’s a spectacular natural show — especially at high tide — and a dream for photographers. Ask your driver from Qunci Villas to time your visit for the tide’s peak for the full effect.
🕍 Tetebatu Village – The “Ubud of Lombok”
On the southern slopes of Mount Rinjani, Tetebatu Village offers emerald rice terraces, cool mountain air, and an authentic glimpse of rural life. Wander through lush paddies, meet local craftsmen, and taste traditional Sasak cuisine. It’s peaceful, cultural, and beautifully untouched by mass tourism.
🌅 Bukit Merese – Sunset Hill with Ocean Views
For one of the most romantic sunsets on the island, head to Bukit Merese, near Tanjung Aan Beach in South Lombok. The panoramic view stretches across turquoise bays and rolling green hills. Bring a picnic and watch the sky turn gold, pink, and violet — it’s a photographer’s dream.
🧭 Gili Kedis – The “Tiny Love Island”
Barely the size of a tennis court, Gili Kedis is often called Lombok’s Love Island. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and soft coral sand, it’s the perfect half-day getaway. Rent a small boat from Tawun Harbor — just a short drive from Qunci Villas — and enjoy your own private slice of paradise.
