15. Villa 3424 Fact SheetIn the meantime, here is a taste of
the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the
villa.If you want to go shopping in Lombok, dont expect modern
malls or designer clothing; instead seekout local products. Swetas
Bertais Market at Mataram (31km) sells everything that is made
orproduced on the island, including Lomboks intricate basketware.
Pearl sellers occasionally walk alongSira Beach and will offer you
their wares, expect to be hassled a bit, and remember to barter.
For qualityand range of pearls, the best option is to visit the
specialist retail outlets in Sekarbele, near
Mataram(31km).Banyumulek (40km) is one of the three main pottery
centres on the island; in the mornings, you canwatch the women
potters at work. At the traditional weaving village of Sembalun
(77km) in the foothillsof Mt Rinjani, you can witness the
production of the islands striking hand-woven textiles.
Thebeautiful fabrics are created on manually-operated back strap
looms.Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club, designed by Peter Thompson,
lies within Sira Bay. A golf buggycan pick you up to enjoy this
uncrowded and serene 18-hole championship course (nine coastal
holesand nine tucked in the shade of the majestic Mount
Rinjani).Eat out for a change of scene. Inspect the history,
artefacts and curios of nearby funky Hotel Tugu, aliving museum of
Indonesian antiques and local artwork, over a beachside lunch or
dinner. Or enjoy thegourmet food at the 5-star Oberoi Resort and
The Lombok Lodge which is opposite the Oberoi.Visit the Gili
islands to experience a different side of Lombok. Of the three
small coral-fringed islands,Gili Meno and Gili Air are fairly quiet
and Gili Trawangan has the nightlife. Cidomos (Horse drawncarts) or
bicycles and lazy beachside cafes set the scene with no high rise
buildings, no motorisedvehicles and not a McDonalds in sight. The
villa manager can arrange a boat transfer.Investigate the
attractive market village of Tanjung, where stalls overflow with
mysterious and exoticproduce such as locally grown tobacco, coffee,
soya and peanuts.For a gentle trek, head to Senaru village, the
gateway to Rinjani National Park. Local Sasak guides willshow you
the parks two beautiful waterfalls of Sindang Gila and Tiu Kelep.Do
nothing. Relax, Robinson Crusoe-style, on your own deserted beach
in the shade of the palm trees,taking a cooling dip in the blue
ocean or the refreshing swimming pool.Revitalise and rejuvenate
with an in-villa massage treatment. Try a deep pressure Balinese
massage, acleansing facial or a simple manicure from professional
therapists from The Oberoi Hotel. Or head offto the neighbouring

session or spatreatment in the gorgeous spa.(c)
