Lombok Weather, Seasons & Festivals
When is the best time to visit Lombok?
The best season is the dry season, June to September, with April to May and October next. Even in the wet season, from around November to March, mornings are often sunny, so if you value quiet and lower room rates, the wet season is worth considering (Best time to visit Lombok).
When you plan your days, keep two rhythms in mind: Friday prayers around midday every week, and Ramadan (Friday prayer, holidays and Ramadan).
