Hotels by Location | Southeast Sulawesi | Kendari Area

Kendari, the capital of Southeast Sulawesi, is a tranquil town set on a wide blue bay next to the ocean. It offers travelers basic accommodations at a number of modest hotels, as well as tasty local fare at its many small restaurants. The town offers good travelers’ services, including banking and communications. Within the city visitors can witness authentic local dance performances or, if they’re lucky, a cultural festival, and shop for regional handicrafts, including ornate silver work, beautifully made baskets, and hand woven cloth. 

There are a number of fascinating attractions in the region surrounding Kendari. The Morame Waterfalls are perhaps the most spectacular in Indonesia, tumbling down a hundred meters to a clear pool below, which offers fantastic swimming. Hari Island, just off the Kendari coast, boasts a gorgeous, unspoiled coral reef, perfect for snorkeling and diving, and a variety of water sports, including boating and swimming.
