But does it actually check enough boxes for a full month? In this video we run Kuta, Lombok through all 13 of our slow travel categories — food, accommodations, entertainment, walkability, amenities, transportation, ocean and beaches, pickleball, gym, supplements, safety, vibe check, and affordability — and give you our completely honest verdict. We love it. But there are a few things you need to know before you book a month here.
