Hidden treasure in Sumbawa

by bali_junkie about Amanwana

A place that I've never imagined exist on earth.......most beautiful white sandy beach with amazing coral life. Well hidden in the jungle of Moyo Island off coast of Sumbawa in east of Bali. It was quite a long trip flying from DPS through Lombok and continued to Sumbawa. Took about one & half hour plus another 45 minutes by yacht to the island.

I got the tent by the jungle but still facing indirectly to the beach. Most luxurious tent I've ever been, with full functioning bathroom and shower and AC.

It was raining the night before and in the morning the ground was covered by hundreds of white butterflies!!! Fish feeding is a perfect time to go snorkeling which is just in front of the resort's jetty area. I also tried the barbeque dinner on the beach with bonfire. It's fantastic!!!

The waterfall trip is a must try. The staff will take you to another island where an "Indiana Jones" type of jeep is waiting to take you venturing the island. The guide was even dressed in a perfect 'safari' uniform, packing some lunch and an cooler box. The entire trip to get there and discovering something new is a great experience......
