Turtle capital of the world.
Arcing away from the northwest corner of Lombok, are three idyllic atolls,
where the sand
is still powdery white, the water a clear sparkling turquoise,
and the sunsets over Bali’s volcano Mt. Agung in the west simply
spectacular.

like ‘Shark Point’, 62 Bio Rock reef regeneration projects, and miles and miles
of white sandy beaches, Lombok's Gili islands, or The Gilis for short, makes
