BEST VISITING MONTHS
The best time to visit Lombok is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September. During these months, you can expect sunny days, minimal rainfall, and warm temperatures. The shoulder months of April and October can also be good times to visit, as you may encounter fewer crowds while still enjoying pleasant weather. If you're planning to surf, the wet season (November to March) brings larger swells to the south coast, attracting surfers from around the world. Ultimately, the best time to visit Lombok depends on your preferences and interests, but the dry season generally offers the most reliable weather for exploring this beautiful island.

WILD INITIATIVES
Through careful consideration, Innit took the initiative to place as little impact on the surrounding land as possible with local materials, thoughtful architectural and upcycling procedures that act as a regenerative force for good. The local community is vital and has been a part of Innit’s journey from the very beginning. The hotel embraces their unique culture and traditions, and gives back as much as they can through employment, training, and teaching new skills. Innit actively raises awareness and will continue to develop new initiatives, including building a new school to teach English.
The kitchen exclusively sources produce from nearby farms, while their fish and seafood are procured daily from local fishermen. This sustainable fishing practice not only safeguards the local habitat and ensures a sufficient population of fish in the region, but supports the livelihoods of the fishermen.
