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.
