Pujut Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Merese Hill

Wonderful hill in Lombok you must visit. The view is really amazing cause you can see blue ocean over the horizon on the west side also sunset. And in the east side you can see the gradation blue of coral. This is definitely the best place to catch sunset. Take a short hike uphill and you will be greeted with magnificent view. Very popular sunset photo spot. If hiking is not for you, locals offer motorbike shuttle for 30-50k. Beware! Access to this beach and hills has recently quite difficult to navigate because it is adjacent to planned MotoGP circuit development, so the land is on a heavy construction project. A lot of mud and dirt road so better check the road and go at daytime 🏖🏝🌊🌅⛅️ #summervacation #hikingtrails #urbanexplorer #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Merese Hill

Jump back on your scooter and drive another 5 to 10 minutes east from Tanjung Aan Beach to find Bukit Merese, one of the most popular beaches in the area and the best spot to watch the sunset. The walk up to the viewpoint takes around 5-minutes to where you will see Bukit Merese’s idyllic features of rolling hills and several small beaches and coves. At the top, it’s a matter of picking your own headland to perch yourself on to watch the sunset. The most popular spot is where most of the crowd will be, standing around a dead tree on the edge of the cliff. We decided to walk for a little longer to a headland that reaches right out over the ocean and we had a grassy patch all to ourselves. The sky put on an incredible show for us displaying soft pinks and blues to the bright oranges and burning reds! #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

It was an awesome experience and we are so lucky because there are not so many people around at this hour. #lombok #mytripvlog #bukitmerese

Sunset viewpoint in Kuta, Lombok

I have never regretted a sunset! one of the best I ever saw was in Kuta, south Lombok. Tanjung Aan is an easy scooter ride from the main town of Kuta and well signposted. It is very popular with tourists and locals so get there early to secure a good position! You will also pass vendors selling snacks and drinks so it is a good place for a date. Perhaps bring your own food and eat h the sun set over the horizon! #lombok #indonesia

Tanjung Aan Beach / Merica Beach

After exploring Seger Point Beach, you can head east again on the bike for 2 minutes to where you’ll find a long stretch of white sand beach called Tanjung Aan. Tanjung Aan Beach looks like something you would see on a postcard and it’s one of the most beautiful beaches worthy of checking out! Local people call this beach the name Pantai Merica (pepper beach). Because this beach has sand that looks like pepper. If you want to relax while looking at the ocean, you can do it in a small cottage hut located on the beach. If you visit this beach in February, you will have the opportunity to witness the unique attraction of Bau Nyale. Bau Nyale Festival is a festival to search for worms carried out by the Sasak as a manifestation of gratitude and prayer to be blessed throughout the year. #summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Tanjung Aan Crystal Clear water

After 2 days of trekking to Rinjani summit, recover at the beach in was the beat choice!☀️

The Oberoi, Lombok only has 50 rooms, but the sprawling property has 24 acres of beautiful, manicured lawns dotted with palm trees. It's relatively removed from other resorts, and views of the Bali Sea can be seen throughout. The tropical setting emanates from the open-air, thatched-roof pavilions that house the spacious lobby and restaurants. Staff are dressed in traditional Indonesian garb and are on-hand in the reception area, which has rattan furniture and overlooks lovely ponds and reflection pools. Free horse-drawn pedicabs are often waiting outside the entrance and can provide guests with rides to the village of Tanjung. This resort is best-suited to travelers wanting an all-inclusive and quiet vacation, as the sprawling property provides privacy for both families and couples. #createwithtrip #staycation

The Hotel Tugu Lombok provides a luxury vacation that’s meant to remind guests of the Lombok of yesteryear. While grounds are well-maintained, they’re not overly manicured, and raw building materials create an authentic experience. Anhar Setjadibrata, who founded the hotel, has amassed an enormous collection of Indonesia artwork. "Tugu" translates to “monument,” and the property is packed with antiques and artwork that pay tribute to the different cultures that were on Lombok before Dutch colonization. Views of the Mount Rinjani can be seen from the beach, where long-tail boats are anchored offshore, casting beautiful silhouettes against the skies at sunset. The large property features Dutch colonial-era buildings, including a reception area with intricate carved designs and tapestries. Staff members greet guests by name, creating an intimate environment, and there's free afternoon tea. The romantic and mystical setting means the hotel gets plenty of destination weddings, though families with children also appreciate the peaceful atmosphere. #createwithtrip #staycation

Peace and quiet are a large part of the package at Jeeva Klui Resort. From the lemongrass ginger tea offered to guests on arrival and the natural wood furnishings in the lobby, to the gentle ocean breezes and the swaying palm trees throughout the grounds, there’s an instant calming effect in the atmosphere. While small by resort standards, the hotel does have a large garden and is the only beachfront property in the area. Ocean views throughout the property, whether from the restaurant, spa, or suite balconies, are incredible. The romantic ambience and postcard-worthy scenery makes Jeeva Klui popular with couples, particularly honeymooning newlyweds. #createwithtrip #staycation
