Plan Your Travel - Bali-Lembongan Combination

Try a Bali 🌴 Lembongan 🏝️ Combination for a Diverse 2-Isle Itinerary! 🚤🌊

Dreaming of an island escape but tired of the same old Bali itinerary?

Try pairing it with Lembongan—because one paradise clearly isn’t enough. Bali offers its classic mix of beaches, temples, and yes, tourist crowds, while Lembongan, just a short boat ride away, delivers surf, snorkel spots, and that “wish-you-knew-about-this-earlier” feel. It’s the perfect duo for travelers who crave variety without needing a passport stamp in between.

Just don’t expect luxury resorts on Lembongan—the island prefers its barefoot charm over five-star fuss. 🚤🌴🏝️

A Bali-Lembongan combination 2-island itinerary

Bali is a universal favorite with travelers and tourists alike, but it is not so well known for its beaches. If it’s clear blue sea and uncrowded white sand you’re after you need to venture a little further.

So why not try a Bali-Lembongan combination, including one of Bali’s sister islands to the south?

But be sure to first check out our Plan, Maps and Budget for this 18-day round trip.

SandSpice Travel Essentials 👣 The Things We Carried

Tags : Powertweet

When traveling from country to country…

…with a maximum rucksack load of 7 kgs, we tend to be fairly selective about what we carry and what gets left at home. It all depends on the climate of the countries we’re visiting and the type of accommodation (if any) we plan to use.

Most of our long trips are in the tropics, so bulky clothes are the least of our worries. We find the bulkiest – and heaviest – items are the photographic and related electronic equipment, snorkeling gear and medical kit. But we like to include reusable utensils for drinking and eating, lightweight blankets, and so on.

Regarding reading material, whenever possible we always select Kindle versions of the books we take with us. It’s quite alarming how much space a few real books will occupy in your pack.

Here then is a summary of the things we’ve carried during our travels – as well as the stuff we’ve purchased during our trips . Depending on your destination, you might find some of these travel essentials useful yourself…
