Nusa Tenggara | Sumbawa Area
For the traveler seeking an off the beaten path
adventure, Sumbawa is perhaps the most fascinating
island in West Nusa Tenggara. Few tourists visit the
island, but those who do find a stunning range of
natural and cultural attractions, and a warm welcome
from Sumbawa’s people. Sumbawa Besar is the largest
town on the island, and its relaxed way of life and
fascinating cultural artifacts, including the ancient
palace of the local sultan, make it a wonderful base for
exploring the island. Basic accommodations and simple
restaurants are available for travelers.
The interior of
Sumbawa is rugged, mountainous, and untouched by modern
development. For a truly thrilling experience, travelers
can climb to the top of 2,820 meter high Mount Tambora,
for a spectacular view across the island. The small
island of Moyo lies off Sumbawa’s coast, fringed by
incredible coral reefs and white sand beaches.
The
Amanwana Resort on the western shores of the island
offers an unforgettable experience that combines the
ultimate in worldly luxuries with a total escape from
the pressures of civilization.
