Various Cool Tourist Attractions in Mandalika
1. Kuta Beach
Bali tourism from India and many other countries come to Bali to witness the beauty of Kuta. But apart from Bali, Kuta Beach can also be found in Mandalika. This tropical beach faces directly to the Lombok Sea. The water is clear blue and has fine white sand. The beach and this place also have magnificent views of rows of green hills.
- Mandalika Beach
Mandalika Beach is close to Kuta Beach. The natural scenery is fantastic, a blue sea, white sand, a long coastline, and a line of evidence at one end of the beach. Several trees on the beach can provide shade when the sun is hot, and there is also a gazebo to relax while having lunch.
3. Merese Hill
This is one of the best locations to enjoy the sunset and sunrise in Mandalika. The grounds are not too fertile but not too arid and offer open sea views. The location itself is in Pujut District.
4. Seger Hill
If you walk west from the Mandalika Circuit, you will find a beautiful fertile hill called Bukit Seger. The Mandalika Racecourse is clearly visible from the top of this hill. There are also views of coral reefs and green sea water that blend with fine white sand.
5. Sade Ende
Sade and Ende are the names of two tourist villages in Mandalika. Coming to this village will give you a closer look at Lombok culture and the traditions of the Sasak Ethnic. Traditional houses typical of the Sasak tribe can still be found here; if you’re lucky enough, you can also see the Sasak dance first-hand. There are also Sasak ethnic handicrafts that can be bought as souvenirs.
6. Tanjung Aan Beach
At first glance, there may be nothing special about this beach. The scenery is clear blue water and clean white sand. But when you set foot on the sand area, you will feel the coarse grains of sand like pepper. This is because the beach sand is mixed with coral chips. Apart from walking on the sand and swimming, you can enjoy the open sea and seaside cliffs from a beach chair with straw umbrellas.
It’s not wrong if someone says that Mandalika is suitable for relaxing or recharging during a vacation or short getaway. Similar to Bali, Mandalika has many natural attractions, especially beaches and hills. If you want to see Lombok culture and its original tribe, you can come to Sade Ende Village and buy souvenirs.
