About

The venue is a surf camp and guesthouse that draws travellers from around the world. Its reputation rests on a relaxed atmosphere and proximity to the island's southern surf spots.

First-time visitors can expect a friendly welcome and a setting that makes it easy to meet other travellers.

The Joe welcomes guests throughout the year, and the camp's website, marshmellowsurf.com, provides booking details and information on packages. Rain is heaviest between November and March, when some surf breaks can be less reliable.
Lombok sits within the Coral Triangle, a marine region with very high coral and reef fish diversity, making it a rewarding destination for snorkellers and divers. Bahasa Indonesia is the national language, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Moving between Indonesian islands depends on ferries, fast boats and domestic flights, so travellers should plan crossings around the wet season.
