Is Lombok Part of Bali?
No. Lombok and Bali are two distinct islands in Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands chain.
- Lombok Strait (20–40 km wide) separates them—part of the Wallace Line, a major biogeographical boundary
- Bali is west of the strait; Lombok is east
- Different cultures: Bali is predominantly Hindu; Lombok is predominantly Muslim (Sasak people)
- Different landscapes: Bali = volcanic, rice terraces, tourism hub; Lombok = drier, Mount Rinjani (3,726 m), quieter beaches
They are neighboring islands, not the same island.
