This month Lombok sees the conclusion of the Ramadan fasting month, giving way to the Idul Fitri holiday on 17 July. Also known as Lebaran, this is the most important date for all Lombok Muslims, signalling a mass exodus to the family home in towns and villages across the island. This is a time for celebration and reunion with nearest and dearest. During the following days Mataram and virtually every village on the island echoes to the sound of loud drum beating, fireworks music and boisterous yet good natured revelry. It’s a great opportunity to see locals at play and even the smallest villages welcome curious visitors with open arms.

July is also the height of the main tourist season with bright blue skies, busy restaurants and bars and vibrant beach life. Here at MyLombok we know a short break to Lombok can only scratch the surface, so we present ‘7 wonders of Lombok’ a close look at the island’s not to be missed sights and attractions to help new visitors plan a more rewarding stay. We also profile an increasingly popular way to discover the delights of Lombok – by heli tour.

This issue we bring another dose of high glamour with a ‘Retro Glam Miami’ fashion shoot at Gili Eco Villas with Lukas Vrtilek. Showcasing the very best of Lombok’s villa and hotel scene, we also profile new boutique resort Gili Khumba Villas in Gili Trawangan and Jeeva Beloam in Tanjung Ringgit.

With typically warm tropical weather and a vibrant atmosphere, July is one of the very best months to experience the diverse delights of Lombok.

Seven inspiring reasons to explore Lombok

The 7 Wonders of Lombok

There are many captivating places that prove beyond doubt that Lombok has well and truly stepped out of Bali’s shadow. Lombok has a rich culture all its own, and a biodiversity, from exquisite white-sand beaches, rainforests and a soaring volcano, that other islands can only dream about. Its uniqueness and laid back pace of life is all part of its charm, and Lombok’s top class scuba diving and awesome waves lure thrill seekers in their thousands. For the ultimate island experience, discover our top seven world class attractions in alluring Lombok.

The mighty Rinjani volcano towers over Lombok and dominates the northern portion of the island. Soaring to 3,726 metres, it is the second highest in Indonesia and can be seen from virtually everywhere on Lombok. It doesn’t require expert mountaineering skills to scale its peak but it is still a fairly strenuous three day trek up and down again. Treks begin in the village s of Sembalun Lawang or Senaru. Close to the summit is a huge crater lake and hot spring where it is possible to take a refreshing dip or even go fishing at almost 3,000m above sea level. Those with the stamina to make it to the very top of this still active volcano will be rewarded with outstanding views stretching as far as the island of Java in the west and Sumbawa in the east. As far as eco-adventures go, this is one of the very best Indonesia has to offer and definitely one to tick off the bucket list. For people who do not have a head for heights, it’s still a great place to come for the cool air and the laid back pace of life in the villages that dot Rinjani’s foothills. There are some excellent low altitude soft trekking opportunities within the Rinjani National Park exploring waterfalls, rice paddies and the rainforest.

The 3 Gilis Senaru Waterfalls

Nestling just offshore from the north coast are the crown jewels of Lombok beach tourism – a trio of tiny tropical islands known collectively as the ‘3 Gilis.’ These tiny paradise islands are fringed by palm trees, white sandy beaches and clear blue seas filled with astounding marine life. The Gilis have become synonymous with top class scuba diving with more than 20 well established dive sites suitable for seasoned diving experts and beginners alike. Each of the three Gilis has its own distinct atmosphere and pace of life. Laid back Gili Meno, the smallest of the three, exudes a tranquil, almost castaway experience while still having a good choice of places to stay and dining options for every budget. In stark contrast, the ‘party island’ of Gili Trawangan has lively cosmopolitan atmosphere with many 5-star villas, boutique spas and late night bars. Gili Air still has a backpacker-friendly vibe and has the most authentic local atmosphere of the three islands along with a growing number of lively beach bars. The Gilis have the refreshing bonus of being completely car and motorbike-free and have been leading the way for many years as Indonesia’s most pro-active eco-friendly beach destination.

Tucked away in the lower reaches of Mount Rinjani are a series of three dramatic cascading waterfalls providing a cool and refreshing alternative to trekking up the mountain. The spectacular Sedang Gile, the first waterfall, is a highly photogenic sight, surrounded by a lush rainforest canopy with water plummeting over 50 metres into deep fresh water pools. It is the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. Sendang Gile is just a short walk from the roadside and by virtue of this is the most popular to visit, but there is more to see as you head further up. A 50 minute trek further on will present a glimpse of Tui Kelep waterfall, another captivating sight, which fills the clean mountain air with blowing mist. There is a nice bathing pool to cool down. Even further upstream, is Betara Lenjang waterfall which is a real hidden gem as it can only be reached with expert climbing skills. The few people that make it this far head straight for the nearby crystal clear hot springs to soothe those aches and pains.

South Lombok has a well deserved reputation for its world class surfing spots but the very best of the lot is out on the tip of Lombok’s southwestern peninsular. Desert Point – known locally as Bangko Bangko – is the Holy Grail for expert surfers when the right conditions prevail, and rated by many as the very best waves on the planet. This is an isolated corner of Lombok but a rugged, spectacular area filled with amazing natural sights seen the long and winding coastal road as you head south beyond Sekotong Bay. Previously a refuge only for fearless surfers in search of that elusive perfect wave, the area around Desert Point is opening up with improving infrastructure and a growing number of small homestays and hotels catering for travellers. There are numerous small fishing communities, bays and near deserted beaches that dot the rugged coastline.

Yes, the sand really is pink! This picturesque natural phenomenon has been created by the timeless ebb and flow of the water carrying tiny crushed particles of bright red coral which over time has fused seamlessly into the white sand. When the sun shines brightly, it produces a vivid hue of pink. Known locally as Pantai Tangsi, it is one of only two such beaches in Indonesia (the other pink beach is found on Komodo Island) and due to its fairly isolated location, is a true castaway style beach with few people around during the week. Aside from the beach itself, there is impressive natural scenery to see. It nestles between steep hills which provide added shelter from strong currents so it is a perfect spot for bathing or snorkelling on the reef. Pink Beach is located in the south east corner of Lombok in Jerowaru district, just a short drive from Tanjung Ringgit.

Ikat Villages Lingsar Temple

Art and traditional crafts dating back numerous generations are still part of everyday life in many Sasak villages dotted around Lombok. ‘Ikat’ fabric weaving in particular is thriving and draws visitors from far and wide seeking unique hand woven garments. One of the main centres is the village of Sukarara in Central Lombok. Most of the womenfolk here are engaged in hand weaving, producing the signature ‘songket’ with elaborate motifs made of cotton yarn, silk, gold and silver silk thread. Vibrant colours are produced from wholly natural dyes created from raw materials such as mangosteen, tamarind and mahogany bark. Using only a simple hand loom, some of these woven works of art can take months to finish and command sums of up to IDR 3 million from international buyers. Sarongs, table cloths, scarves and ceremonial garments are typically produced here. Visitors can see the weavers in action or spend time learning the tricks of the trade with an opportunity to create their own design. In East Lombok the less visited village of Pringgasela is another hotbed of traditional weaving activity. It has a sleepy atmosphere where the women are happy to spend time explaining the time consuming, complex process of hand weaving. The multi talented women of Pringgasela also offer traditional Sasak cooking classes for visitors. Other traditional weaving centres in Lombok include Sembalun Lawang and the historic cultural village of Sade.

Situated a short drive outside Mataram, Pura Lingsar complex is a unique scared site as it unites Lombok’s two primary religions. Built in 1714, it has separate temples for Balinese Hindus and one for followers of traditional Wektu Telu Islam. The Wektu Telu temple is famous for its pond filled with holy eels, which can be lured to the surface with hard boiled eggs (available at stalls outside) which is considered to bring people good fortune. The Balinese section of the complex is located in an elevated position with separate shrines pointing toward Mount Rinjani in north Lombok and west to Bali’s Mount Agung, both revered holy sites. Visitors are required to wear a sarong before entering the complex which can be rented for a few rupiah from stalls located outside the entrance. During November or December Pura Lingsar plays host to one of Indonesia’s most interesting annual religious events, called ‘Perang Topat.’ Dating back generations, this is a ‘ritual war’ between Lombok’s Hindus and Muslims which involves throwing sticky rice cakes wrapped in coconut leaves at each other. It is a good natured food fight and colourful spectacle for the hundreds of onlookers, serving to foster tolerance and understanding between the faiths.

T here are a variety of options to get to Lombok from neighbouring Bali – predominantly by plane or fast boat. A sea crossing in particular offers a leisurely

ride showcasing the captivating coastlines of both Bali and Lombok, but nothing beats a bird’s eye view. For a combination of speed and stunning views, a charter package from Air Bali fits the bill perfectly.

Air Bali’s Bell 206 Long Ranger helicopter service is growing in popularity as an alternative for hopping across the Lombok Strait for luxury travellers. It is also a mode of transport in demand for hard pressed business travellers keen to get from A to B with the minimum of fuss. Interestingly, as each private charter flight can be fully customized, it can be an appealing way for would-be Lombok property investors to view land and surrounding areas from a unique vantage point.

Air Bali’s helicopter sightseeing tours and transfers provide a unique bird’s eye view of Lombok’s captivating scenery.

At a cruising altitude of 500–1,500 feet, passengers get a fascinating close up view of the tropical landscape, whether simply transferring to your hotel or on a more leisurely Lombok sky tour. Flights take in absorbing panoramas of Bali’s east coast, from Sanur onward to the unspoiled bays and tranquil beaches of Karangasem, before gliding across the Strait to Lombok and the Gili Islands. One of Air Bali’s most popular trips is the seamless, hassle free transfer from South Bali direct to Gili Trawangan in just 45 minutes.

On a clear day there is the rare opportunity to simultaneously glimpse the twin peaks of Bali’s Mount Agung and Lombok’s Rinjani volcanoes. In fact no Lombok visit is complete without experiencing Rinjani up close, but not everybody has the time or stamina to complete a challenging 3 day hike to the summit. A sightseeing flight hovering above Rinjani offers absorbing bird’s eye views that few people get to experience, showcasing the true enormity of Lombok’s world famous volcanic peak. From the lush, forested foothills and mountain villages, up to the striking crater lake and summit, it is a compelling sight, best experienced from a sky-high vantage point. It is also a one of a kind opportunity for keen aerial photographers. Private pleasure trips can be organized with a pick up from Gili Trawangan or other points on mainland Lombok.

No longer viewed as a novelty or a luxury perk for the privileged few, helicopter tours have gained in popularity for an increasing number of visitors to Lombok craving a unique sightseeing experience, not to mention the speed, convenience and comfort.

S he makes sweet music, or should we say sweets and music? Dita certainly does both. She sings and plays guitar, she conjures up creative cakes, and there’s

always chocolate close by… sounds like a recipe for pure magic.

Dita comes from Praya, in central Lombok, where she still lives. By day she runs a small business, and by night she entertains guests with her musical spot at Kies Villas. She spoke with us about her two passions — food and music — and her dreams for the future.

How did you begin as a singer and musician? Actually, I learned to play before I realized I could sing! I play the guitar and the piano. I remember that I watched Sung Ha Jung on YouTube. That really inspired me, so I baked my own cakes and sold them during Ramadhan, and with the money I saved, I managed to buy my first guitar. Then I had lessons from Mr Ketut, my teacher at school. He invited me to join the traditional Javanese music group, which met at his house. My friend Yudi encouraged me to join in the singing and so I did. That’s when we all realized I could sing.

Have you had any formal training for singing?No, I never had any formal training. I learned from YouTube.

How did you get to perform at Kies Villas?Craig, who is from Sublime and manages Kies Villas, came into my mother’s shop to order T-shirts. My mother asked me to serve him because I can speak English. Anyway, I ended up working as an assistant at Sublime. One day I was at reception at Kies Villas and a guest had a guitar, so I picked it up and started playing and singing! All the staff loved it, so I was invited to play there regularly. I have a show there every Friday night, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm; it’s called ‘Dita Unplugged’.

Do you write any of your own songs? No — not yet.

Dita of Kies Villa

Who is your musical inspiration or favourite singer? Christina Anguilera. She has a very powerful voice and I love to listen and learn from her. I like Tori Kelly, too, because I have a similar voice to hers and she is also a guitar player.

Have you travelled/performed anywhere else?Yes, I entered a competition that was sponsored by ‘Strepsils’. I sent them my video, for the audition, and they invited to me perform a live solo in Jakarta. It was a great experience.

Have you released any albums? Not yet!

You also like to cook and you studied at culinary school. How did that come about?I studied at SMK1, in Praya. It was a three-year course and I learned to cook Indonesian dishes, western food and cakes. I graduated with a certificate in cooking. My mother made me choose between music and cooking. I chose cooking - but I can’t stop singing!

I already have my own business, Bale Jaje, which means ‘House of Cake’ and, from that, a branch, Choco Joon, where I make special chocolate, unique from Lombok.

What is your dream?My dream is to make Choco Joon the most famous Lombok chocolate, with its unique spices and taste… but maybe singing is the dream I will follow. Who knows.

What do you do in your spare time?When I have spare time, I play guitar or bake cakes!

What (or who) couldn’t you do without?It would have to be my mother. She is a strong woman and I admire her.

manufacturer, based in Canada) and it’s a freestyle type’. He uses high quality ‘Caliber’ trucks. For those who are not in the know, trucks are the metal T-shaped parts that are fixed to the underside of the board –the place to attach the wheels. And wheels? Their hardness is measured in ‘durometer’, according to conditions, and riders’ weight and preferences. Eno goes for ‘medium’, with local Gokil bearings. Riders also need protective equipment –helmet, gloves, knee (and sometimes elbow) protectors, and slide gloves.

It’s a serious investment – in time as well as in equipment. The Lomboarders usually skate four or five times a week - at different locations around Lombok every weekend and sometimes closer to home ground, after work or school.

They have their favourite skate spots - especially hills or particularly challenging corners. ‘My favourite is Selong Belanak Hill,’ says Eno, ‘I call it ‘Southern Sahara’, because in the dry season it is brown and dry and looks a lot like the Sahara’.

Like many other communities, this one has its heroes. Ozzie Anwar and ‘Mancool Man’ created the community in 2011.They have worked hard to make it a bigger group and raise its profile in Lombok. And in terms of style, Ozzie has legendary status in the group: ‘He’s the best downhill rider – he bombs it down the hill like a madman’ says Eno.

The community is active on social media and open to anyone who shares the same interests and who wants to join. ‘We are not THE BEST but we are THE LEGEND here (on Lombok Island)’, says ‘Mancool’, on the Lombok Longboard Riders’

Facebook page, where they regularly share videos of Ozzie, and others, in action.

The group is keen to take their enthusiasm further and get involved in local competitions, like the Lombok Longboard Weekend and this year’s Lomboard Fun event. Some of the team members take part in bigger events across Indonesia and Asia. Eno tells us about Ozzie’s achievements: ‘Last year he went to the Talegong Longboard Festival, in West Java. It’s the biggest International downhill skateboarding event in Indonesia’. Ozzie also competed recently in the Visayan Longboard Trilogy 2015, in the Philippines, taking part in the International Downhill Skateboarding Race.

Sponsorship and support from the wider community are always welcome. Businesses that supply the skaters’ equipment help them out from time to time. ‘I get my board gear from LongboardINA Boardologist, a big shop in Jakarta’, says Eno,‘They came to Lombok last year and saw us skate, and gave me a board. I also get sponsored from LeadskateboardJordsey in Bali and LVLY Sunday in Lombok.

And what does the future hold? The group is obviously keen to see skateboarding grow. ‘We have a dream, one day, to host an international event here, because in Lombok we have great locations for the sport. We hope that our government will support it!’

Speed. Thrills. Fun. Wonder what their wives think of it all? Eno laughs.‘Luckily, we are all single’.

I magine this. You’re speeding down a curving hill road at 70km per hour and there’s no brake pedal to press. The ground, just inches away, seems to be whizzing past you in

a dizzying blur….

No, you’re not in an out-of-control, low-slung sports car; you’re a downhill speedracer — and you love it!

Why do you do it?

To find out, we spoke to Enok (‘Eno’) and some of his skating ‘brothers’, who are all heavily involved in downhill skateboarding. They are of different ages and backgrounds. Eno works as a waiter at the Banana Tree Café, Pras works at the Puri Bunga Hotel, and Randi (‘Indi’) is a senior in High School.

They can all describe the sensation of riding and why they are passionate about it. Words like ‘freedom’, ‘fun’ and ‘adrenaline’ feature quite a lot. ‘I do it because I enjoy it; its fun and I feel stoked when I have finished. My friends do downhill because they just love it!’ says Eno.

They are the ‘Lomboarders’ – a shortened version of ‘Lombok Longboard Riders’.

The group started with young men who were ‘just interested in skating’ and gradually they have grown into a skateboarding

community in Lombok. The skill level ranges from beginners to advanced,and the styles vary from group to group.

The community has fifty or more members. A core group of about thirty are more actively involved than others. They are quick to point out the difference between theirs and other groups. A lot of it has to do with the style they prefer. For example, the Mataram Skateboarding Brotherhood (MSB), they tell us, ‘is street skateboarding and Lombok Longboard Riders is downhill skateboarding’.

‘When we ride there are normally six or seven of us in a group’, says Eno, ‘We usually split by level. So the advanced riders will go to an advanced location like Malimbu Hill and the beginners ride together’.

‘I didn’t really start skating until around 2010, when I was 20 years old, and I used a secondhand board when I first started’, Eno tells us.

For the serious skaters, the equipment they use now is pretty big deal. For outsiders, these are technical terms that sound like a foreign language. They talk enthusiastically about the ‘setup’ they ride, and the board length and type. Some of them started out on ‘cruising’ boards, which are not standard for downhill. But not now. Eno tells us about his ‘deck’ (the board): ‘It’s a 40 inch Rayne longboard (Rayne is a specialist longboard

the musicians enter, take up their instruments and begin to play.

The hundred or so invited guests have gathered at The Studio for the tenth of the Sunday Session concerts -‘Music on the Hill’- with the added promise of an exhibition and afternoon refreshments.

The Studio is a small, retreat-style resort on The Hill, near Senggigi - a collection of beautiful recycled teak buildings. Studio One is a lovingly restored Javanese joglo and provides the perfect venue for intimate concerts like this one.

The tone is set as the first featured artist, Toni Mursayid gives a quiet nod to signal ‘Bengawan Solo’. The violin leads the way, the simple, romantic melody suddenly brought to life with stringed accompaniment: off-beat bass, plucked cello, a trilling guitar and the signature counterpoint of two ukuleles playing double-time. The combined effect is schmaltzy, crooning 1930s-style parlor music backed by a playful, folksy orchestral swing. The audience is drawn in and held as a small, jilbab-clad vocalist, with her rich and soulful voice, steps forward and takes up the song.

This is Keroncong- a uniquely Indonesian style of music that originated in Java, when Portuguese sailors brought their instruments in the 16th century. The music has evolved, drawing together Portuguese rhythms and European melodies, with Chinese and Javanese influences.

The mixed audience is swept up in the sweet, joyful sounds, as the band offers a mix of traditional and contemporary songs, all performed keroncong style, with alternating male and female singers.

The ‘Music on the Hill’ Sunday Sessions began four years ago and have included programs as diverse as jazz and blues, ballads, bluegrass and folk styles, experimental and electronic music, with a range of dancers and performance artists. Mark Heyward and friends have been part of it –presenting original songs from the album Crazy Little Heaven.

‘The idea is to give local musicians a chance to perform in a relaxed and intimate concert atmosphere, away from the demands of cafes and pubs,’ explains Mark. ‘It’s not a commercial exercise. Guests pay a donation at the door, which goes to the musicians. We have exhibited the work of local and expatriate artists. It gives the international community an opportunity to see what Lombok can do!’

Complementing the rustic timbers of The Studio, Terry Renton’s striking ‘Sketches of Lombok ’ are on display. Each piece tells a story: in images of coastal scenes, driftwood, and village women -captured in gestures, abstract patterns, and the earthy colours of Lombok that merge to create an impressionistic portrait of the island.

After a break for refreshments, local music personality, Ary Juliant, presents his version of Portuguese ‘Fado’ music. At the first Sunday Session in 2011, Ary performed his unique brand of fusion music, blending Javanese gamelan, contemporary Indonesian poetry and his own songs, many played on ‘found instruments’. Now, backed with upright bass, Ary’s rolling solo guitar and soaring vocals recall the Moorish history of the region and links to the Arabic musical traditions which came to Indonesia, with Islam, in the sixteenth century.

Next is a surprising capoeira performance from a trio of young men who play the berimbau. This is a Brazilian percussion instrument- a single-stringed bow with a fixed gourd at the base -played by striking the string rhythmically with a stick. The urgent, rattling, buzzing beat underlies the performers repeated call-and-response song - strong echoes of the music’s African origins.

‘I am always amazed at the talent,’ one guestcomments. ‘I have lived in Lombok for over fifteen years, and I had no idea that this kind of music was happening here.’

The lazy, sunny afternoons, the ambiance of the old joglo building, the beautiful music and artwork, and the pleasure of good company, and excellent food and drink create a special magic. And, according to host, Ibu Sopantini, this Sunday Session is one of the best.

‘It’s like an historical dream,’ says Terry Renton, with a faraway look and a quiet smile. And that says it well. A dream of another time, perhaps - a gentler and more genteel time.

What was your first business venture?This is crazy, but during my high school years, my favourite subject was 'Enterprise'. It was a class where we had to be inventive and think of ways to build a successful business, so I made fruit smoothies and sold them to fellow classmates. It was a huge success - I loved it!

Tell us a little about Pink Coconut Lombok.It’s a bright and colourful and attractive place to shop. We stock clothing for women, men and kids, - a lot of relaxed, easy-to-wear beach and resort styles. We also sell jewellery, fantastic things for the home, gifts and much more.

What are some of your favorite items currently in your boutique? I actually love everything in both boutiques, although, because I am an animal lover, I think the 'rope animals' are a winner.

You recently opened Pink Coconut Gili T. What can we expect from the new store?Firstly, it will have an impact. I am completely in love with the way the new shop looks, and it has a really great feel to it. I have also been lucky enough to secure contracts with some great brand names, allowing Pink Coconut to be the only stockists of some really popular labels.

Speaking of the designers you carry, what are some of the things you're looking for when choosing brands? Basically, when I am choosing stock, first and foremost I look for quality and then I look for trending styles. I want people to walk through the doors of Pink Coconut more than once because they know that my stores will always carry the brands that they want.

What would you say are the most important values of an entrepreneur?I believe that to be successful it is so important to be patient - things just don't happen overnight. I also believe that if you have

a formula and it is successful, then don't change it. It was the success of Pink Coconut Lombok that allowed Pink Coconut Gili T to be born.

What do you do when you’re not geeking out at work?

I am giggling on the inside here, because I am a mermaid ….That sounds weird, so I should explain. I love to go out swimming in a mermaid tail — so much fun. What's your dream for the future?I would like everyone to be included in the Pink Coconut experience. At the moment I am developing an online store, so that all the beautiful things that are in the shop right now will be availableto customersanywhere in the world. This will also make it really easy for those who have been to my shopsin person. Sometimes people hesitate when making a purchase, especially when they’re travelling. But now, once they have returned to their home country,there’s no need to regret not buying just one more special item - they can just pop on line and order it.

What is the last ‘one word’of advice you would give to our readerswhen it comes to succeeding as an entrepreneur?That’s easy: it’s ‘perseverance’.

For Larbi Ahassad, a visit to Lombok changed everything and a completely new career direction transformed his life. Born in Morocco, Casablanca, he grew up and studied

in Holland and his career in technology took him around the world. Now he is owner and chef at El Bazar, Kuta. He has travelled an interesting and varied path, but one thing has never changed — his love of food. El Bazar is Mediterranean-inspired, with a focus on fresh and colourful dishes and on bringing people together to enjoy great cooking.

Larbi, when did you first become interested in food and why? I don’t think there was a specific time or reason why I became interested in food. The first dish I ever made was a gratin, when I was four years old — my sister helped me, of course! Every Wednesday would be my day off so I would spend the afternoon cooking or baking with my sister.

What is the one dish you love and remember from your father’s kitchen?I really love Spanish tortilla with shrimp and green beans. I used to help my father to cook this dish once a week. I remember that every time we made it I would eat some of it before it was even ready!

Tell us about your career to date.I was working for Dell Computers — first as an Information Technology Engineer and later as Sales Manager. I did this for five years and then became the Regional Manager of the Middle East and Africa at Juniper Networks. I speak seven languages, which was a great advantage.

Then I moved to Bali. I had been hired to run a luxury Resort in Sumba but it did not materialize. While I was there, I travelled to Lombok to surf and that was when I decided I wanted to start a business there.

What made you decide to open a restaurant?When I lived in Holland I would spend the weekends with friends and family — cooking for them. When we moved to Bali I went to Lombok on a holiday and loved it so much that after three

weeks I bought land there.Six weeks later I returned to Lombok permanently and decided to open a small restaurant. I wanted to create a place with great food and great coffee.

Why did you choose Kuta?I didn’t choose Kuta, Kuta chose me! Bali is too hectic and too busy. I like the serenity of Lombok, andI like nature and the wilderness. I also wanted to be in a place where I could surf and spear fish.

Tell us about the concept for your restaurant, El Bazar.My wife and I wanted to create a place where everybody from different countries could meet. The name was only decided three or four days before we opened. We chose the name ‘El Bazar’, which is the Persian name for ‘market’. It makes sense because the Persian markets attract hundreds of different nationalities. The base colour is grey, to let the colours of the food stand out and shine. We have hundreds of different dishes, and the food brings everyone together.

What is your inspiration for cooking? How do you come up with ideas for the dishes in the restaurant?The ingredients, definitely! I go to the market to get inspired by what is available. There is always an interesting way to cook great ingredients.The dishes on the menu are exactlythe dishes I used to eat at home. Everything is made fresh everyday — with daily deliveries, and daily shopping at the local market to guarantee freshness. The fish is fresh everyday — from the market or from my morning’s spear fishing.

Describe or define your style of cooking.I’m inspired by the day, and by my mood. Basically, I follow my imagination. My style of cooking is Mediterranean — inspired by the all the places I have travelled to.

What are your favourite or ‘must have’ cooking ingredients?I can’t do without olive oil and garlic.

What are the tools of the trade you use most? Probably my knives - and the oven, of course.

What's your favourite dish on the menu and why? The Lamb Shank, because it has a combination of sweet and savoury flavours. It’s cooked with rosemary and thyme, in combination with dried fruits - so many different flavours in one dish. My mother’s celebrations always included this dish. Cooking lamb is a proud and delicious adventure.

What do you think is your customers’ favorite dish?All the dishes seem to be favourites. Our menu is small,and customers come back often, so each time they return they try a different dish.

Describe your typical day at work.I arrive at 7am and help the team to open up the restaurant.Then I check the stocks and order what we need.At 10am I help in the front-of-house. Then I go to check out the waves and surf Mawi until 2pm. If there are no waves, I spear fish. Then I come back, have lunch with friends, and deal with business matters.I go homein the afternoon and come back at 6pm to work all evening in the restaurant.

How much of your work is done outside of the kitchen? I spend time doing marketing, logistics, and the general management of the business.

What is the biggest challenge in your job?Working with the staff can be a challenge: making sure they have the education and the commitment to do their jobs well.

Sometimes there are cultural barriers. Once you have a good relationship with people, there are no problems.

Another challenge is the difficulty of the work — and the concept itself - always tweakingit a little to make things better. Our food is always served absolutely fresh, and it is sometimes difficult to get fresh food here every day,so that’s also a challenge.

When you are at home, what do you like to eat? Do you ever cook at home?It’s a good question. No, I don’t eat at home. I used to, but since I opened the restaurant I don’t cook at home anymore.

Are you an adventurous eater? Are there any foods you won't eat or even try?I think I am an adventurous eater, yes. I have eaten crocodile, kangaroo and ostrich.

If you hadn't opened a restaurant, what would you be doing right now?Another very good question! I wouldn’t be working. I would probably still be trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I want to build my own dreams instead of building somebody else’s.

How did your family react when you told them you wanted open a restaurant?They said to me, ‘We always knew you would do that — we just didn’t know when’

What do you like to do in your spare time? I like to surf, go spear fishing and spend time with my family.

Other than creating great food, what do think are the most important qualities that make a successful chef?Several things,I think – a deep knowledge of ingredients, attention to detail, the ability to take risks and long-term commitment.

Who is your favourite celebrity chef?Gordon Ramsey. I like the way he makes it look so easy and the speed with which he executes his dishes. Also Joël Robuchon — he is the complete opposite of Gordon Ramsey. He takes time to prepare his dishes and is very delicate. I often question myself as to why I am not like him — cooking calmly and slowly.

Any tips for budding chefs?Spend one week in a commercial kitchen before you decide you want to study to become a chef. Make absolutely sure it is the career you want!

There’s a lot of talk about ‘superfoods’ at the moment. And avocados have to be right up there at the top of the list. You might love your kale and spinach, but these are ‘the

greens you’re having when you aren’t having your greens’. Chia seed and quinoa are healthy and chic, too, but avocadoes are super-tasty, super-easy to prepare and ready to eat in minutes.

There’s nothing new about avocados. They have been around for a long time and it’s thought that human beings have been enjoying them for thousands of years. They’ve been called avocado ‘pears’ – obviously because of their shape – and even ‘alligator pears’ because of the rough, uneven skin of some varieties. In India and Vietnam, they are often referred to as ‘butter fruit’ – easy to see why.

Avocados are native to Mexico and South America. Uruapan, Mexico and Fallbrook, California both claim to be “The Avocado Capital of the World” but avocados are also grown much closer to home – Indonesia is a major producer and Australian avocados are delicious. The fruit can be cultivated in many parts of the world – wherever there is a subtropical climate with no frost or strong winds.

The avocado is classed as a berry – but probably one of the most nutritious and useful. It contains high levels of six types of vitamin B, as well as vitamins K, E and C, and potassium. It’s also low in sugar and relatively high in dietary fibre and the ‘good’ fats; it actually works to lower ‘bad’ fats and cholesterol. Avocados even help the body to absorb valuable nutrients (lycopene and beta carotene) from carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy greens – so mix and match!

When something that is so good for you is also delicious, then you must be on a winner.

You’ve almost certainly eaten avocado sliced in a salad and blended into guacamole, but it’s an incredibly versatile food.

How many of these ideas have you tried?

On a sandwich: Use mashed avocado, with a dash of salt, pepper and your favourite herb, instead of butter or mayonnaise. It teams perfectly with seafood, chicken and cheese.

Elegant brunch or entrée: You’ll impress with avocado and crab mousse, served in a glass. What about French toast with thinly sliced avocado and shaved Parmesan? So many possibilities.As a dessert: Avocado is a popular base for a mousse. Just blend it with cacao and a little milk or coconut cream, with honey, agave or maple syrup for sweetness. A few minutes in the fridge, et voilà - chocolate mousse. It goes well with raspberry coulis, too. Smoothies: Be as adventurous as you like with this one! Think avocado, banana, honey, ginger and cinnamon – on ice with a mint garnish. Or shake it up with blueberry and pomegranate. Go super-healthy and energy building with avocado, spinach and kiwifruit, blended with the milk you prefer; add some protein powder for a complete meal!

You could, of course be much more indulgent. The word is that Indonesian smoothie stands are creating avocado concoctions like no others. We’re talking avocado with mango, or pineapple, or rich, flowing chocolate…

Better stop!

OK. A few more things before you dash out to buy a stash of avocados….• There are different varieties - Hass, Sheppard and Fuerte are probably the most common - but they can all be used similarly. The stone tends to be proportionally smaller in longer, narrower fruits, so it’s worth choosing those. • You’ll often find that avocados on sale are still rock-hard. Don’t be discouraged from buying them. They are unusual fruits in that they mature fully while still on the tree, but they don’t ripen until they are picked. An avocado will ripen in a few days if you leave it at room temperature. If you need it sooner, store it with an apple or banana; these fruits give off a chemical that triggers the ripening process in avocados (and most other fruits).• If you find yourself with an unused half of an avocado (as if!) it will stay fresh if you leave the stone in it, rub the exposed flesh with lemon juice and refrigerate, in a closed container.

Super food? Maybe. But one of the nicest little fruits you’ll ever meet.

IT’S QUITE EASY BEING GREENAvocado

GILI KHUMBA VILLASEager to see what the creators of the pioneering Gili Eco Villas had dreamed up for their new Gili Trawangan resort, MyLombok had a sneak peek at the all-new Gili Khumba Villas, o�ering a refreshing new take on the island’s boutique villa scene.

There is a real buzz on Gili Trawangan’s north coast with some creative ideas being turned into smart boutique villas, using both innovative contemporary design and

retro chic, fashioned from vintage materials. A prime example of this can be seen at beachfront resort Gili Eco Villas. Here luxury accommodation comes in the form of traditional Javanese style houses lovingly recreated using reclaimed timber which effortlessly blends into the scenery. Gili Eco Villas, a pioneer of eco-friendly practices in the Gilis, is now well established and Gil Cowen, the creative force behind the resort, has been hard at work developing a new contemporary resort. Set back from Gili Eco Villas is the recently launched Gili Khumba Villas. This new resort features a dozen villas which have a distinctly more modern feel. Each has either one or two bedrooms with an integrated open plan lounge area and equipped kitchen overlooking a private pool. All the villas are enclosed within a walled garden providing plenty of privacy. Each villa has subtle differences in configuration and decor, showcasing abundant individual character. Gil Cowen spent several years honing her design skills in the fashion world, and this creative expertise and attention to detail is very evident in the style, shape and form of the villas.

There is a strong Indian influence to the decor with large, vivid artwork on the walls depicting the rich tapestry of life in the sub-continent, illuminated by subtle lighting and a splash of vibrant colour. The main social space is made up of an integrated lounge, dining and kitchen area encouraging a

carefree, convivial atmosphere. The bedrooms offer a warm and welcoming sanctuary and are expertly laid out to make full use of available space. Natural stone flooring and reclaimed teak wood give off a subtle contrast to the ethnic-style contemporary aesthetic – it is clear to see there is an artisan’s eye for detail at work here. The semi open air bathrooms also tick all the right boxes for fusing style and functionality effortlessly, and are surprisingly spacious with a large, brightly coloured walk-in shower.

Outside, the inviting private pool is just a step away, fringed by a well manicured lawn and mature trees providing shady respite from the heat. This cosy enclosed private space attracts cool breezes and makes the perfect spot for an intimate pool party or a casual dinner underneath the moonlight. Like its sister resort, Gili Khumba Villas takes its eco-friendly credentials seriously, helping to conserve Gili Trawangan’s limited resources without impacting a smooth running operation. It makes full use of recycled teak wood and polished concrete tiles to blend together with the contemporary decor and furnishings.

Gili Khumba Villas has already hit the ground running with several local and international investors buying some of the villas and surrounding plots of land, proving there is strong demand for holiday homes in the Gilis. The team at Gili Khumba Villas manage the resort for owners who benefit from the win-win scenario of regular rental income and rising property values. For travellers on a short break in the Gilis, a stay at Khumba Villas combines the creature comforts of a luxury resort operation and a real ‘home’ that exudes its own individual character.

Set back from Gili Eco Villas is the recently launched Gili Khumba Villas. This new resort features a dozen villas which have a distinctly more modern feel. Each has either one or two bedrooms with an integrated open plan lounge area and equipped kitchen overlooking a private pool. All the villas are enclosed within a walled garden providing plenty of privacy. Each villa has subtle differences in configuration and decor, showcasing abundant individual character. Gil Cowen spent several years honing her design skills in the fashion world, and this creative expertise and attention to detail is very evident in the style, shape and form of the villas.

There is a strong Indian influence to the decor with large, vivid artwork on the walls depicting the rich tapestry of life in the sub-continent, illuminated by subtle lighting and a splash of vibrant colour. The main social space is made up of an integrated lounge, dining and kitchen area encouraging a

carefree, convivial atmosphere. The bedrooms offer a warm and welcoming sanctuary and are expertly laid out to make full use of available space. Natural stone flooring and reclaimed teak wood give off a subtle contrast to the ethnic-style contemporary aesthetic – it is clear to see there is an artisan’s eye for detail at work here. The semi open air bathrooms also tick all the right boxes for fusing style and functionality effortlessly, and are surprisingly spacious with a large, brightly coloured walk-in shower.

Outside, the inviting private pool is just a step away, fringed by a well manicured lawn and mature trees providing shady respite from the heat. This cosy enclosed private space attracts cool breezes and makes the perfect spot for an intimate pool party or a casual dinner underneath the moonlight. Like its sister resort, Gili Khumba Villas takes its eco-friendly credentials seriously, helping to conserve Gili Trawangan’s limited resources without impacting a smooth running operation. It makes full use of recycled teak wood and polished concrete tiles to blend together with the contemporary decor and furnishings.

Gili Khumba Villas has already hit the ground running with several local and international investors buying some of the villas and surrounding plots of land, proving there is strong demand for holiday homes in the Gilis. The team at Gili Khumba Villas manage the resort for owners who benefit from the win-win scenario of regular rental income and rising property values. For travellers on a short break in the Gilis, a stay at Khumba Villas combines the creature comforts of a luxury resort operation and a real ‘home’ that exudes its own individual character.

Jeeva Beloam

For travellers and clued up locals the Jeeva Klui boutique resort in Mangsit, Senggigi is a familiar name and one of the top beachfront resort destinations on Lombok’s west

coast. However it is not the only Jeeva on Lombok. There is an equally impressive sister resort tucked away on the extreme east of the island that has a very distinct character all its own. Jeeva Beloam is a self-styled ‘beach camp’ in a secluded cove. It nestles alongside two pristine white sand beaches on the Tanjung Ringgit peninsular in Lombok’s far south east corner.

This is far from the madding crowd; isolated yet alluring for would-be castaways or adventurous honeymooners. Long stretches of powdery white sands, blue ocean and views across to the rugged Sumbawa coastline provide the inspiration for a carefree back to basics beach lifestyle.

The resort consists of traditionally styled ‘Beruga Pantai’ A-frame cottages well spread out within an expansive nature forest preserve. Each has a soaring thatched roof and surprisingly spacious, boasting 60 square metres of living space. The air conditioned sleeping area has a luxury king-size bed, framed by rustic wood and bamboo furnishings, and illuminated by abundant natural sunlight. Both the bathroom and veranda areas are semi enclosed, the latter featuring an oversized daybed to take full advantage of cool sea breezes.

The isolated location doesn’t mean compromise on comfort or cuisine as Jeeva Beloam offers all-inclusive services including all meals, water, soft drinks and juices. This includes beach barbecues and camp fire roasts using catch of the day and locally sourced East Lombok produce.

Design and layout of the resort fits in seamlessly with the natural landscape, making good use of recycled materials for a truly rustic, immersive experience of rural Lombok. The resort displays well established eco credentials with the use of solar energy and water desalination. In fact this whole area has been earmarked as a future eco-destination and is destined to lead the way for sustainable living and tourism in Lombok.

The Tanjung Ringgit area is well off the beaten path but many options exist for adventurous activities nearby. Good snorkelling is just steps away at the nearest beach while there are opportunities for fishing, sea kayaking, trekking and more.

Getting to Jeeva Beloam is an adventure in itself, passing some of the most captivating scenery Lombok has to offer. The resort also offers guest transfers from Lombok’s International airport.

horoscopeofthemonth

ASTROLOGY — JULY 2015

Aries (March 21–April 19)Ever restless, when the planet of love and money, Venus and the planet of abundance, Jupiter, taps you on the shoulder you are ready to roll. Either you find a quick way to make a buck or cement a love connection. Problem is the people on the home front want you to pay attention to them! Real problems can erupt if you neglect your nearest and dearest. Don’t let the urge to run free ruin the foundations on which your life rests.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)Home, good. Family, great. Love and money, not so much. You may find a close tie spending larger sums without discussing the matter with you. The underlying problem is that the other person is feeling constricted, and he or she needs an outlet to express that. Don’t get upset, consider this an invitation by the Universe to discuss essential issues in your relationship. Do this with an eye of compromise and things should turn out just fine. Gemini (May 21–June 20)While you want everything to make sense, some months you have to roll with your gut in instead of your head. This month is one of those times. The ruler of Gemini’s zodiac sign, Mercury moves in to the realm of home and family, directing the cerebral Gemini to pay attention to domestic matters. Disruptions between older and younger generations take center stage. Remember, it does no good to control if no one listens.

Cancer (June 21–July 22)All family members are firmly within the nest, and everyone seems content to stay there. What then could be the problem? Sometimes family togetherness is too much, leading to the kinds of strains that can happen when things are a little too crowded. When people fight for their little pieces of turf, or mom is upset about the dishes being left in the sink, there is only one thing to do. Movie night! Cue up your favorite and pop plenty of popcorn!

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)With Venus, the planet of love and money, and Jupiter, the planet of abundance slipping out of harmonious sign of Leo, you loose a some of your golden boy or girl status. You have plenty of mojo left because of your smooth talking ways, and you can still slip off for some fun when you want. However, if you don’t pay attention, inattention to details will get you in trouble. Take care of business.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)Love and money issues loom a large, uncertain area in your life. Big, sudden changes are on the horizon, and, unfortunately for control freak Capricorn, they are not things you can limit. If you hear some the same information from two different sources you should investigate, but don’t trust your initial impressions. Some of the intel you get may be riddled with misinformation and the wishful thinking of naysayers.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)With the planet of love and money, Venus opposite your sign, you are forced to examine these issues. Fortunately your discern the big picture coupled with your lightning fast mental processes helps you examine many perspectives. You find you can communicate clearly with others which gives you the ability to effect change. However as you work through solutions those on the home front feel you aren’t giving them enough attention. Do so.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)Nostalgia, memories, and dreams play a role in how you view this month’s events. Family and family activities occupy your days and you can’t help but communicate your feelings to others. However, don’t expect brothers and sisters to feel as sentimental or even agree with your perceptions. In addition you may find these folks want to re-frame everything as the world revolving around them!

Leo (July 23–August 22)The jungle cat inside you is poised for action. With the planet of abundance, Jupiter, and the planet of love and money, Venus in your sign you will not be denied. Virtually trembling with possibilities, you don’t realize how close you are to going over the edge. Wherever your hunting instincts lead you stop, look and listen. There may be pieces of information that elude your prodigious ability to sniff out the scoop. Tread lightly.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)You have an innate sense that you can take your destiny into your hands, but you don’t know where that lies. Persistent dreams pervade your sleep. However, these nocturnal whisperings, though they are disturbing, are clues as to your true path. The planet of our value systems, Venus enters your sign this month, leading you on a six-month trek to reassess your goals and desire. Don’t shy away from challenges that you don’t quite understand.

Libra (September 23–October 22)Harmony-loving as you are Libra, you detest it when disagreement mars your serene life. Yet all of us must learn to weather storms, and this month it is your turn. Sudden events and people roar into your life causing you wonder if there is any sanity left in the world. The key to surviving and even thriving in this turbulent time is to make decisions and take action. You, Libra, an action hero? Yes. Once you are set in motion you are an awesome force of nature. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)After the trying year you’ve had so far, it is hard to believe that all decks are cleared and you can finally relax. Settling in to new digs is far less stressful than you thought and you are more than willing not look too closely to the cracks in the wall. Perhaps the only thing that troubles this month is that you aren’t getting the attention you deserve. Crack that Scorpio whip and demand your due, in a nice way, of course.

Lombok’s time is here and now, having finally stepped out of Bali’s shadow, showcasing to the world its unique mix of adventure, pristine natural scenery and captivating art and culture. A new airport, international yacht marina and improved roads have made travel to and within Lombok much easier, but it is its untamed natural beauty and traditional charm that captivates. It is an adventure-seeker’s paradise, home to world-class scuba diving, surfing and mountain climbing yet travellers looking for a cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and luxury creature comforts will not be short of options. Experience the best of Lombok with these recommended highlights and hidden gems:

Senggigi and The West CoastSenggigi, just a short drive from the island capital Mataram is Lombok’s premier beach resort, extending along a series of sweeping bays. The main beach strip is fringed by a wide expanse of sand framed nightly by spectacular ocean sunsets. It is a fairly spread out beach town that rarely feels overcrowded yet there is a broad variety of places to stay, eat and socialise. There is a vibrant expat community here with lots of opportunity for sports and leisure, business networking and searching out those hard to find imported goods. Senggigi is the best place to arrange days out and guided trips to other parts of Lombok. The beach road then winds its way north to upmarket Mangsit, dotted with hip boutique hotels and villas among some of west Lombok’s most captivating scenery. In all, the Senggigi area stretches for almost 10 km along the west coast, and away from the main tourist centre, comprises numerous palm fringed beaches dotted with colourful fishing boats.

Gili IslandsA trio of tiny tropical islands off the northwest coast, known simply as ‘the Gilis’ are the go-to place for laid-back island life and the simple pleasures of sun, sea and superb scuba diving. Each of these three islands has its own distinctive atmosphere; the smallest is Gili Meno, a peaceful tropical island haven with few distractions other than deserted white sand beaches and a couple of chilled out beach bars. Legendary ‘party island’ Gili Trawangan is largest and most cosmopolitan of the Gili Islands with no shortage of swanky boutique villas, diverse dining and plenty of action after dark. Gili Air, located closest to the Lombok mainland, sits somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and has the most authentic local atmosphere. The enduring appeal of the Gili Islands is the refreshing absence of any motorised transport making for a pleasant alternative to Bali’s congested beach resorts. Scuba diving is still the main draw and it is one of Asia’s top spots to learn the basics and get qualified. For landlubbers, there are few better places to get horizontal on a tropical beach and soak up the unique island vibe.

Kuta and South LombokLike its namesake in Bali, Kuta Lombok is synonymous with world-class waves but thankfully without the hassle of 24/7 traffic and infuriating beach hawkers. In fact, Lombok’s south coast surf breaks are more than a match for the best in Bali, and savvy surfers are heading here to enjoy miles of uncrowded, adrenaline-fuelled waves. Kuta, invitingly close to Lombok’s new international airport, is the main tourist hub yet remains a fairly tranquil tropical haven favoured by both surfers and adventurous families. It makes for a great base for exploring the rugged southern coastline dotted with numerous breathtaking beaches. Scenic highlights include up-and-coming Tanjung A’an, Gerupak and isolated Ekas Bay.

The SouthwestLombok’s ruggedly beautiful southwest peninsular is largely unexplored by visitors but is now getting serious recognition with the discovery of superb offshore scuba diving and miles of deserted beaches. The main gateway is Sekotong Bay, located just south of Lombok’s main ferry port Lembar and is the jumping off point for Lombok’s ‘Secret Gilis.’ These small offshore islands feature pristine coral reefs and idyllic tropical beaches for a real castaway experience. Heading south, the coastal road winds its way past tiny fishing communities and secluded bays all the way to the tip of the peninsular where the legendary surf breaks of Bangko Bangko (Desert Point) are found — rated among the best in the world.

Mount RinjaniFor an alternative to surf, scuba and sandy beaches, a trek up the immense Rinjani volcano is hard to beat. At over 3,700 meters, this is Indonesia’s second highest volcano and makes for challenging 3–4 day trek but the views are definitely worth all the effort. The mountain dominates much of north Lombok and the caldera alone covers a mind-boggling 50 square kilometres. Most climbers only go as far as the crater rim which offers vertigo-inducing views down into the volcanic lake but the extra effort to get to the summit will be rewarded with views as far as Java and eastwards across to the island of Sumbawa. If this all sounds too arduous for comfort, the mountain’s foothills offer a wealth of leisurely hiking opportunities. Head to Senaru village for easy-going walks through remote weaving villages and dense jungle to uncover a succession of scenic waterfalls.

This is Lombok!
