FAQ’S ABOUT SECRET SPOT IN LOMBOK

Secret Spot is located in the south of Lombok, in the surfing village of Kuta. Our place is hidden away from the main street, still only 10 min walk from the beach and main strip of town.

There are various ways of getting to Lombok. The easiest is to fly to either Bali or directly to Lombok (we have an international airport). We are 25 minutes away from the international airport in Lombok.

The surf line-ups are less crowded and provide a perfect opportunity to learn.

Lombok is a very safe location for travellers. But, like many other places in south-east Asia, there is petty crime and minor theft. We advise our guests to always travel on their motorbikes in the daytime and to avoid leaving any valuables on beaches or unattended. The Sasaks (Lombokians) are incredibly friendly and accommodating people that will always go out of their way to help tourists find their way.

Lombok’s international airport is about a 25-minute drive from Secret Spot, so you’ll be in Kuta in no time after landing.

If you have a non-surfing partner we can arrange a good price for your partner just accommodation and follow to the beach and sunset trip. Just add a comment in the message. (Click in the non-surfing partner through our booking system or add it to the comments.)

Usually, we go surfing in the morning and the fishing trip happens in the afternoon, Although everything depends on the weather conditions, swell and the group wishes. We always plan so that everyone gets the most out of their surf and holiday.

You can add more lessons into your surf camp. We can arrange to add the extra lesson once you have checked in on Secret Spot. Again it depends on swell and conditions from day to day.
