Welcome to Tanjung
Tanjung sits on the northern coast of Lombok, Indonesia, with the Gili Islands visible just offshore. It's a quieter base than the island's busier south, making it popular with divers, snorkelers, and those exploring the surrounding waters by boat. Resorts in Tanjung draw you close to that reef-dotted coastline, with the volcanic profile of Mount Rinjani rising behind you as a constant backdrop.

Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
If your dates aren't set in stone, compare different seasons or months to find cheap resorts in Tanjung. Midweek stays are often a little more affordable than weekends, so even small changes can make a difference.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in Tanjung make things simple by bundling drinks, activities and meals into the room rate. They're worth considering if you plan to stay mostly in one place and want to keep daily spending under control. Check if these types of stays are available before booking.

When to visit Tanjung
High and low season in Tanjung
The dry season, running roughly from May through October, is the most reliable time to visit Tanjung. Conditions are generally settled, making it easier to get outside and explore the area comfortably. Demand picks up during this period, so securing accommodation in advance is a practical move, especially if you're visiting during Indonesian public holidays.
The wet season, from around November through April, brings heavier rainfall and the possibility of disruption to outdoor plans. On the upside, you'll find fewer visitors and a more relaxed feel, with accommodation often easier to come by. If your schedule is flexible and you're prepared for the weather, it can still be a workable time to visit Tanjung.
Tanjung is a smaller destination, and community event details can be difficult to confirm from outside the area. Local ceremonies and cultural celebrations tied to the Islamic calendar do take place in the region, and the timing shifts each year. Your best starting point is checking with a local tourism office or asking accommodation staff once you arrive for anything happening during your visit.
