Banyumulek Pottery Village

Before Lombok tourism industry is better grown, Banyumulek potters manufactured earthenware only for household use. Nowadays, however, they produce many decorative export quality potteries. You will be taken to wander around the village to see the villagers make potteries at their homes, as part of their daily lives.

Sukarara Weaving Village

The weaving talent of Sukara girls is preserved by a traditional belief that a girl should be able to weave sarongs to be worn in the “first night” by her husband and herself. In today’s life, they weave sarongs, songket, and ikat weaving to support their family’s economy. Try to weave your own fabric here or simply dress up in traditional wedding dress for picture making.

Sade Traditional Village

Sade is one of rustic villages where Sasak indigenous still live in humble traditional thatched roof houses. The dwellers still keep their old tradition and arts. Based on request, they occasionally play their traditional music and perform dances in the village hall. You can also see girls weave sarongs here as in Sukarara. They normally invite visitors to enter one of the houses to allow them to observe the house more carefully. The most unique part of the house is the floor which is coated with buffalo dunk to protect the surface.

Kuta Beach

The pristine beach of Kuta is a perfect paradise for surfers and an ideal place to sunbath. Swimming is also good during high tide in the turquoise crystal clear water. Otherwise, simply walk on the granular strikingly white sand bare feet to feel natural foot reflection. After getting cured by the foot reflection, you’ll be back to hotel.
