About Bukit Malimbu
Bukit Malimbu is one of Lombok's most spectacular viewpoints, perched on a hill in the northwest part of the island. This scenic spot offers breathtaking panoramic views of the three famous Gili Islands (Trawangan, Meno, and Air) and on exceptionally clear days, you can even see Mount Agung in Bali.
The viewpoint is particularly famous for its stunning sunsets, when the sky transforms into vibrant hues of orange and pink, creating a magical backdrop for the silhouettes of the islands. The hill is easily accessible by road, making it a popular stop for visitors traveling between Senggigi and the northern parts of Lombok.
Beyond the spectacular views, Bukit Malimbu also features several warungs (small local eateries) where visitors can enjoy fresh coconut water or a light meal while taking in the scenery. The cool ocean breeze and peaceful atmosphere make it an ideal place to relax and appreciate Lombok's natural beauty.
