Lombok from Singapore.

The direct Scoot flight from Singapore (SIN) to Lombok International Airport (LOP) is about 2 hours 45 minutes in the air. Adding airport processing on both ends, total door-to-door time from central Singapore to the villa is around 5 hours — flight plus a 40-minute drive from LOP.

Yes. Scoot flies nonstop from Singapore (SIN) to Lombok (LOP) and expanded the route to up to 10 flights a week from June 2026, with morning and afternoon departures on most days. Check Scoot or Google Flights for live schedules and prices. Indirect routings via Bali (DPS) are also common if you want to pair the two islands.

No. ASEAN passport holders, including Singapore, enter Indonesia visa-free for up to 30 days. No Visa on Arrival fee, no application required. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Indonesia also requires the free All Indonesia Arrival Card — one online form covering immigration, customs and health — submitted up to 72 hours before you fly. It is free and takes about two minutes — ask us if you would like the link or a hand with it.

Yes — it is one of the best regional options. The 2h45 direct flight is shorter than a long-weekend trip to most parts of Indonesia or Thailand, and Singapore gets around six long weekends a year, several needing zero annual leave. You can leave SIN Friday (or Saturday) and be at the villa by dinner. Most Singapore-based guests book 3-5 nights, returning Sunday evening or Monday. The villa is set up for short stays — everything you need is ready when you arrive.

Bali is closer, more polished, has more restaurants, and offers more nightlife. Lombok is quieter, less crowded, and the beaches are emptier — especially in the south where we are. For a regular weekend break, Bali wins on convenience. For peace, beach, surf, or family privacy, Lombok wins. Many Singaporeans alternate — Bali this quarter, Lombok next. Or do both in one trip: 3 nights Bali, 4 nights Lombok.

Very. Lombok is a majority-Muslim island — halal food is the default at local restaurants and warungs, and the island is known as the island of a thousand mosques. Our villa team is local: halal meals are standard in the included daily breakfast, and we can arrange a halal private-chef dinner or halal grocery shopping on request. For Malay and Muslim families from Singapore this is one of Lombok's quiet advantages over Bali.

Usually the opposite. The villas sleep 8 and 10 — or 18 across the whole estate — so two families or a group of friends sharing often pay less per person than standard hotel rooms would cost, frequently under S$50 per person a night at our from-rates, including daily breakfast, housekeeping and the concierge team. And the pool, garden and living space are exclusively yours.

Lombok is in Indonesia Central Time (WITA, UTC+8) — the same as Singapore. No jet lag. Land at LOP, check in, swim. The lack of time-zone adjustment is a real reason short trips work better from Singapore than from anywhere else.

Most of what you bring to Bali, plus reef-safe sunscreen (harder to find in Lombok than Singapore), a wide-brim hat (the south coast sun is direct), a refillable water bottle (the villa supplies filtered water), and a light layer for cool evenings May-September. You probably already have a universal travel adapter — Indonesia uses Type C/F plugs, 230V (same voltage as SG).

The local currency is Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Singapore dollars are not accepted at most venues, though Bluebird taxis and some hotels in Kuta will exchange. Bring an OCBC, DBS, or Wise card for ATM withdrawals at LOP arrivals — IDR comes out at the best available rate. Credit cards are accepted at our villa and most Kuta restaurants. Warungs and small venues are cash-only.

Lombok International Airport (LOP) is in the south of the island, so the south coast is the natural base — about 40 minutes by car, against two to three hours north to Senggigi or the Gili Islands. Wave Lombok sits on the south coast at Pantai Serangan, about 10 minutes from Selong Belanak: two private villas, each with its own infinity pool, sleeping 8 and 10 — or 18 across both. Daily breakfast and housekeeping are included, and we can arrange your airport transfer in advance, so you are met at arrivals rather than negotiating a taxi after a long flight.
