TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Much more of a blast is arriving in Mandalika with the thrilling return of MotoGP 2025. And what could offer a more stunning contrast to the high-speed action on the track than the serene beauty of Mandalika beaches?

From the well-known Kuta beach to the peaceful shores of Mandalika, and even the region’s best-kept secret Mawi, the charm woven throughout this coastal paradise can truly make your visit to the region more fulfilling.

But there’s more than just relaxation waiting by the sea, as adventure seekers can dive into surfing, snorkeling, and swimming across these scenic shores.

Here are the 10 best Mandalika beaches, as highlighted by Wonderful Indonesia.

List of the 10 Must-Visit Mandalika Beaches

1. Kuta

Kuta Mandalika couldn’t be more different from Bali’s world-famous Kuta, yet both share the same tropical allure. Located just 31 kilometers from Lombok International Airport, Kuta Lombok boasts a pristine coastline where soft white sand meets vibrant coral reefs below.

Like other Mandalika beaches, Kuta offers an abundance of exciting sea-based activities, including surfing, snorkeling, and a simple sunbathing.

2. Mandalika

Among the must-visit Mandalika beaches, this hidden gem offers a sense of peace that sets it apart. Often less crowded than its counterparts, Mandalika Beach unfolds as a tranquil stretch framed by lush green hills and rolling waves.

Visitors can also watch boats gently pass by while soaking in the calm, scenic surroundings.

3. Mawi

For those chasing waves, Mawi Beach is a surfer’s paradise. Famous for its consistent, powerful swells and dramatic rocky outcrops, Mawi turns surfing into an exhilarating mission. While the surf brings the adrenaline, the white sands and hills that tower nearby offer a stunning natural contrast, grounding the thrill with beauty.

4. Mawun

Framed by two idyllic hills, Mawun Beach is a secluded coastal escape best known for its clear turquoise water and delicate white sand. Ideal for swimming or simply zoning out to nature’s rhythm, Mawun redefines escapism.

Despite its remote feel, it lies only 20 minutes from the heart of Kuta, making it an easy retreat for those seeking peace.

5. Semeti

Tucked away in Mekar Sari Village, Semeti Beach stuns with its otherworldly landscape. Steep cliff formations and rare red sand pair with crystal-clear waters to create an almost private-beach experience.

Beyond its visual appeal, Semeti offers ample opportunities for diving, fishing, and snorkeling.

6. Selong Belanak

Selong Belanak is an idyllic beach located on the southern Lombok. Aside from being known for welcoming many visitors while still preserving its natural charm, what truly sets Selolong Belanak apart from other Mandalika beaches is its unique wave conditions.

With its western end offering stronger swells than most of its shorelines, this charming beach caters to every type of travelers, from serene-seeker to surfer.

Once you’ve had your fill of sea-based fun, the back area of the beach offers a lively stretch of local food stalls, each serving up mouthwatering Lombok specialties. 

7. Serenting

Serenting Beach effortlessly outshines many other Central Lombok beaches, despite not receiving the level of fame it truly deserves.

Picture dramatic blue waters with powerful waves rolling in, beautifully pairing the majestic surrounding hills. It’s a place where you can sit back, relax, and soak in the raw beauty of the island’s coastline.

8. Seger

Just a short ride from Kuta, Seger Beach is brimming with a similar charm to its more famous neighbor, but with the added advantage of peace and fewer crowds. Its main allure lies beneath its crystal-clear waters, making it a true haven for snorkeling and swimming. 

But Seger isn’t just about scenic beauty, it also holds deep cultural significance, as it's the ceremonial site of the annual Bau Nyale festival, where local legend and tradition come to life on its shores.

9. Tanjung Aan

Tanjung Aan is easily one of the best Mandalika beaches to visit. Stretching across two bays, it invites you to unwind and soak in the stunning views of clear blue skies, a glistening turquoise ocean, and rolling green hills.

To elevate the experience, take a short hike to nearby Merese Hill, where you can witness breathtaking sunsets or sunrises from the best seat in the house.

10. Tanjung Bongo

Last but certainly not least, Tanjung Bongo stands out as the perfect escape from Lombok's busier beach clubs and crowds.

Accessible via a short trek from the southern side of Tanjung Aan, this hidden gem offers a slice of untouched paradise where tranquility unfolds with the rhythmic crash of waves.

Its beautiful coral formations and crystal-clear waters let visitors experience the ultimate tropical getaway.
