Travelling with friends is one of life's great joys — and South Lombok is practically designed for it. Empty beaches, cheap scooter rentals, sunset sessions, and enough activities to keep everyone happy.
Best Group Accommodation Options
Multiple Cabins or Bungalows
Rather than cramming into one villa, many groups book several cabins at the same property. At Mawun Valley Farm, groups can book our cabins and lodges — you each get your own space but share common areas, meals, and the experience.
Why this works:
- Everyone has their own space (crucial for group harmony)
- Couples can have privacy
- Common areas for socializing
- Often cheaper than large villas
Activities That Work for Groups
Everyone Loves: Beach Days
South Lombok's beaches are spacious enough that even large groups don't feel crowded. Selong Belanak is ideal for mixed-ability groups — beginners can surf the gentle whitewash while stronger surfers head outside.
Split & Reconvene
Not everyone needs to do everything together:
- Surfers: Dawn patrol at Gerupuk or Selong
- Adventurous ones: Waterfall chases, cliff jumping
- Relaxed crew: Beach lounging, massage sessions
- Curious types: Farm visits, cooking classes
Group-Only Activities
Plan 2-3 activities the whole group does together:
- Sunset at Bukit Merese — the classic
- Group surf lesson — watching friends fall is half the fun
- BBQ night — our Gather program hosts group dinners
- Day trip to Gili Islands — snorkeling, beach clubs
Budget Breakdown
Typical daily spend per person in a group of 6:
- Accommodation: $13-23 per person sharing
- Food: $10-17
- Scooter: $2.50 sharing
- Activities: $7-13
Total: $33-55 per day per person
Pro Tips
- Agree on non-negotiables early — what does everyone absolutely need to do?
- Create a shared expense tracker — Splitwise saves friendships
- Schedule free time — even best friends need breaks
- Book 2-3 weeks ahead in peak season
