2025 Malaka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

We recently went on a 5D4N trip to Lombok, Indonesia and it was nothing short of amazing — peaceful, relaxing, and filled with stunning views. ✨ ✈️ We booked our return flights (Airasia QZ462 & QZ463, May 3–7) via Trip.com, and it only cost RM856 for two pax — super affordable! Our flight got rescheduled, but Trip.com’s customer service handled the changes smoothly and stress-free. Big thumbs up! 👍 🏨 For accommodation, we also booked everything via Trip.com: Pullman Lombok Merujani for the first night — a modern beachfront resort that we instantly fell in love with. The resort is spacious, peaceful, and very well-designed. We enjoyed a relaxing dinner (very reasonably priced!) and the breakfast spread was great. But the real highlight? The view from the hotel and the beach is honestly one of the best in the world. 🌅🌊 Then, we moved to Jeeva Klui Resort for 3 nights and booked their pool villa. The villa had beautiful Indonesian touches, giving it such a warm and homey vibe. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Waking up to breakfast right beside the beach, taking dips in our private pool, and watching the sunset every evening — pure bliss. 🌺🌴 This trip was truly memorable, and I'm so glad we booked it all via Trip.com. It made everything convenient and hassle-free. Can’t wait to plan our next escape! 🧳✨ #TripMoments #Tripdotcom #Lombok #BeachVibes #TravelWithTrip

| A Dreamland Hidden in the World. ✨Legend has it that there is a hanging garden, where seven unknown secrets are hidden, like seven bright and mysterious stars, waiting for someone to explore. 🌿The first secret is the dreamlike plant landscape. The flowers are in full bloom, the vines are intertwined, and the rare flower species grow wantonly here, as if nature has overturned the palette, and every color is just right, forming a beautiful picture, making people feel like they are in a fairyland, intoxicated and lost. 💧The second secret lies in its unique irrigation system. The cleverly designed water channels, like the blood vessels of the garden, nourish every inch of land silently. The water droplets fall from a high place, shining with crystal light under the refraction of the sun, like elves jumping and playing in the garden, giving the whole garden a dynamic vitality. 🌳The third secret is the ancient buildings hidden in the flowers. The mottled walls of the years are covered with green vines, quietly telling the stories of the past. Walking into it, it seems to travel through time and space, and you can feel the integration of history and nature here. Every brick and stone carries the precipitation and memory of the years. 🦋The fourth secret is the wonderful creatures in the garden. Colorful butterflies dance among the flowers, they are the elves of the garden. There are also various rare birds, singing melodiously, as if singing the praises of the garden. They coexist harmoniously with plants, forming a vibrant little world together. 🌙The fifth secret is the night view of the garden. The moonlight shines down, and the silver light puts a mysterious veil on the garden. The flowers emit a faint fragrance in the night, which is different from the brightness of the day. At this time, the garden has a sense of tranquility and depth, like a veiled beauty, so beautiful that people dare not disturb it. 🧚‍♂️The sixth secret is the ancient legend circulating in the garden. It is said that fairies once descended here, playing and playing among the flowers, guarding this pure land. Every corner seems to still retain the breath of the fairy, making people can't help but imagine whether they can still have the honor to see the fairy's beauty on a full moon night. 💕The seventh secret, and the most touching secret, is the peace and healing that everyone who comes here feels in their hearts. In this hanging garden, the troubles of the world are all thrown away, and the soul has received unprecedented comfort and baptism, as if it has found a place for the soul to rest, and left with full of beauty and emotion, and treasured this secret in the depths of the heart.

Royal Avila Boutique Resort is a boutique design hotel built on a cliff on the west coast of Lombok. The blue and white color scheme, stunning sea views, exquisite decor, and excellent design, along with the main pool, beach club pool, and spa pool, three amazing infinity pools, make this hidden gem hotel not only a great value for money, but also a great place to eat and spa, and most importantly, it looks great in photos! When you come to Lombok, you must go out to sea. The activities here are also very cost-effective! Especially the three northern Gili Islands, the four eastern Gili Islands, and the three southern Gili Islands are all great choices. The three northern Gili Islands are representative of the Gili Islands. The only transportation on the island is horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. T Island is bustling, and people usually choose to stay on T Island and go to the other two islands for a day trip and then camp. You can experience horseback riding, horse-drawn carriages, and cycling by the sea. The four eastern Gili Islands are located at the easternmost tip of Lombok. It is sparsely populated, like an isolated island. The sea is very clear, and the seabed is rich in coral and rare fish. The three southern Gili Islands are located in the southwest corner of Lombok. It is also a quiet island, where you can snorkel, and there are tall trees and pavilions for shade. Gili Kedis has a very small sandbar island, which is a unique experience!
