How to get to Shaya Cottage in Sekotong, Lombok
From Bali or from Lombok airport: by fast boat, public ferry or car. Here is everything you need to plan the trip to southwest Lombok.
Three ways to reach Sekotong
Shaya Cottage is on the beachfront of Sekotong Barat, in the southwest of Lombok (Jl. Raya Sekotong Barat, Lombok Barat, NTB 83365). Most guests arrive in one of these three ways:
| From | How | Travel time |
|---|---|---|
| Lombok International Airport (LOP) | Taxi or private driver, about 60–75 km | about 1 h 40 min – 2 h |
| Bali – Serangan harbour | Fast boat to Gili Gede (Gili Getaway) | about 2 h at sea |
| Bali – Padang Bai harbour | Public ferry to Lembar, then about 32 km by car | 4–5 h at sea + about 50 min by road |
Times are indicative and change with traffic, weather and season. Always check the latest timetable with the boat operator before you travel.
Fly to Lombok International Airport (LOP)
Lombok International Airport (LOP), in Praya, is the main airport of the island, with domestic flights from Bali, Jakarta and other Indonesian cities. The flight from Bali is short, which makes it the quickest option if you do not want to travel by sea.
From the airport to Shaya Cottage it is about 60–75 km by road, depending on the route: plan on 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours by taxi or private driver. The last part of the drive follows the coast of the Sekotong peninsula.
Tip: save our location on Google Maps before you land, so you can show it to your driver.
Fast boat from Serangan (Bali) to Gili Gede
Gili Getaway runs fast boats from Serangan harbour, in south Bali about 30 minutes from Kuta, to Gili Gede, the island right in front of the Sekotong coast. The crossing takes about 2 hours, with departures usually in the morning.
This is the most direct way from Bali to Sekotong: Gili Gede is in the same bay as Shaya Cottage. Timetables and days of operation change with the season, so check the current schedule with Gili Getaway or an official booking platform when you plan your trip.
Tip: write to us on WhatsApp with your boat and arrival time and we will tell you how to reach the cottage from Gili Gede.
Public ferry from Padang Bai to Lembar
The public car ferry connects Padang Bai, in east Bali, with Lembar, the main harbour of west Lombok. It runs day and night with several departures a day, and the crossing takes about 4–5 hours. It is the cheapest option and it also carries cars and scooters.
From Lembar harbour to Shaya Cottage it is about 32 km, around 50 minutes by car, heading west along the Sekotong peninsula.
Tip: the ferry is slower and can be delayed by sea conditions: bring water and snacks, and keep some cash for local transport in Lembar.
