Lombok is often called the beautiful next-door neighbor of Bali but unfortunately it rarely receives the attention it deserves. Lombok has a huge potential as a center of tourism. The island is a natural paradise with mighty waterfalls, white sand beaches, tall mountains, picturesque bays, amazing surfing waves and many more. Tourists can also enjoy the rich local traditions and culture of Lombok with the perfect integration of Muslim and Hindu cultures. Remarkable handicrafts such as textiles, baskets and pots are sold in the island. Tourism is a very important source of income to the people of Lombok with many are employed in the tourism industry. The town of Sengigi is the most developed tourism area in the west coast of the island. In the northwest part of the island, Tanjung is the principal tourism area. Other tourist destinations include Mount Rinjani, Gili Lawang, Gili Bidara, Mayura Park, Narmada Park and Kuta (different from Kuta Bali). If you want to enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving, go to Sekotong in Southwest Lombok.

Amazing Private Villas in Phuket, Thailand

Stats show that about 4 million visitors visit Phuket every year, proving that the island paradise is one of the hottest tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. It is the largest island of Thailand, home of the most beautiful beaches in the region. There are many tourist spots to visit besides the white sandy beaches; not to mention the local culture and architecture are objects of amazement. The food is great too as Thai cuisines are among the best in the world but international cuisines are also available on selected dining restaurants. With direct flights from major cities in the world, it is now easier to reach Phuket and enjoy its tropical beauty. 

Accommodation is not a problem too, because there are many hotels and villas that you can choose from, depending on your budget of course. Hotels and villas range from affordable to luxurious ones which you can book online as early as few months before your arrival. If you are looking for Phuket beach villas to book, I highly recommend PhuketVillas.com or TheVillaGuide.com. These websites professionally review and rate some of the best villas in the island. You can put reservation directly to these websites and within few hours reservation agents will call you to confirm your booking. You don't need to put your credit card when you book the first time as you will only need that if the agent confirms that the villa you chose is truly available and ready to be booked. Just make sure that you put your contact details in the booking form so that the reservation agents will be able to contact you. If you are still undecided on which beach villa to book in Phuket, I list below some of the best rated beach villas in Phuket, Thailand.
