Our guides can take you to remote traditional villages that can only be accessed by trekking. The area offers fabulous beaches and beautiful plains for horse riding. Although some of the activities are rather strenuous you can also choose to do nothing except stech out on the beach, relax by the swimming pool or take leisurly walks along the beach and explore the reefs at low tide among local people. It's all up to you! The stunning beaches (by some rated one of the best in Indonesia) are a short distance from the hotel: shuttle service is free"!

BETEL NUT:
According to Sumbanese men , chewing betel nuts is a full time activity! If you want to try, Mr. Ali is an usual consommateur and will teach you the right dose of each ingredient to get a nice taste. You need a kind of green asparagus which lives as a parasite creeper on trees, a nut from a special palm tree and lime, all having symbolic meaning. Offering "sirih pinang" when you enter a village will be the key to introduction.
