If you prefer a quieter coastline, Kuta Lombok Beach offers stunning, less-crowded shores compared to Bali. For a truly rare experience, let us take you to the enchanting Pink Beach, where the sand glows with a soft rosy hue, creating a picturesque backdrop like no other.
The original name of Pink Beach in East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, is Tangsi Beach. Located in Sekaroh Village, Jerowaru District, this beach is famous for its soft pink sand, formed from a natural blend of white sand and fragments of red coral. The name “Tangsi” comes from its history as a former Japanese military barracks during the occupation period.
Bale Sasak is the traditional house of the Sasak people from Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara. There are two main types: Bale Tani and Lumbung. Bale Tani serves as a residence where families live, while Lumbung is used as a granary to store harvested rice and other essential supplies.
West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) woven textiles are rich in cultural meaning, originating from Lombok and Sumbawa. They include ikat weaving, songket from Sukarara and Pringgasela, and Bima weaving known as Tembe Nggoli. These textiles are distinguished by their vibrant colors, artistic motifs such as traditional houses and kembang komak, as well as the use of natural dyes and gold or silver threads. Traditionally crafted by hand, they are used for ceremonial attire and modern fashion products alike.
Masterpieces of Sasak Craftsmanship
The cultural richness of the region is beautifully preserved through its traditional handicrafts. The Sasak people, the indigenous inhabitants of Lombok, are masters of weaving. STAT Indonesia Tour and Travel invites you to witness the creation of Songket and Ikat, exquisite textiles still made using ancient traditional looms.
We also visit Banyumulek Village, famous for its export-quality pottery with unique designs. Your journey of discovery continues with fine wood carvings, elegant pearl jewelry, and intricate bamboo weaving, all reflecting the artistic heart of the islands.
Living Heritage: The Sasak Traditional Houses
Step back in time at traditional villages like Sade and Ende. The Sasak traditional house, known as Bale, is a marvel of indigenous architecture made from bamboo, wood, and thatch. One of its most unique features is the floor, crafted from a mixture of clay and buffalo dung to ensure durability and cleanliness—a testament to ancient wisdom. STAT Indonesia Tour and Travel ensures you experience these living monuments through the eyes of the locals.
Peresean is a traditional fighting ritual of the Sasak people in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. In this cultural performance, two fighters (pepadu) test their skill and courage using a rattan stick (penjalin) and a buffalo-hide shield (ende). It symbolizes masculinity, bravery, and brotherhood, often accompanied by the energetic rhythms of traditional gamelan music. Rooted in ancient traditions, Peresean was once used to test warriors’ strength and even performed as a ritual to call for rain. The match takes place in a designated arena, where strikes are only allowed on the upper body—such as the head and back—while hits to the lower body are strictly forbidden.
Spectacular Rituals and Cultural Traditions
Lombok is a land of legends and spirit. Experience the Bau Nyale Festival, a unique annual event where thousands gather to catch sea worms believed to be the reincarnation of a legendary princess. For those seeking a display of bravery, we provide access to witness Peresean, a traditional stick-fighting ritual performed by Sasak men, accompanied by rhythmic music and sacred ceremonies. While local customs are deeply influenced by Islamic traditions, the harmony of these ancient rituals remains a captivating sight for every visitor.
