Climate
The Ekas area is tropical, but very dry. Dry season is between March and December and rainy season is December to March. Lets not put you off with the words rainy season, as the rain here on the Ekas peninsular is a rare commodity. It has a similar rainfall to Bali dry season ! However, mid December to mid January sees the much needed rain.
Dry season is dry.....it would be unusual to see any rain between April and November. Air temp daytime is between 26 and 32 deg c. Night time between 23 and 26 deg c. The "real feel" temps can seem much hotter. Do not forget to bring your sunscreen any time of the year !
​
What should i bring with me ?
Sunscreen......most important as good sunscreen is very hard to find and very expensive in Indonesia.
Rash vest....if you are here for the amazing water sports....essential !
​
If i forget something, i can just go down the local shop....yes ?
​
The nearest town with shops is approximately 30 mins drive by car, please bear this in mind when you pack. We do have emergency supplies at the resort, just in case you forget your toothbrush etc....
If you want to go Lombok shopping, we can arrange a driver for you ( a cost would apply).
