South Lombok

South Lombok

Sukarara is 5 km to the west of Praya, heading south towards Kuta. This is a weaving village where quality ikat and traditional cloth are displayed for sale. Weavers work outside using antiquated “back strap looms” to painstakingly produce works of art. Some of the larger pieces can take several months to weave, and collectors from around the world visit this village to purchase the blankets, sarongs and cloths produced here.
Rembitan and Sade 2, on the main road before Kuta, are two traditional Sasak villages sitting between the roadside and the rice fields. There are authentic Lumbung (traditional houses) here and the villages are laid out in old-style compounds.
