Senggigi, located just north of the capital Mataram, was once Lombok's premier tourist strip. Following a building boom in the late 1990s, it suffered severe setbacks due to the 2000 communal violence and the 2002 Bali bombings, causing a precipitous drop in visitor numbers. Today, it has fallen behind Kuta Lombok in the south and the Gili Islands in the northwest in terms of popularity and development. While the area is quieter now, it retains a long beachfront suitable for travelers seeking a relaxed coastal base.
