Sumbawa holds landscapes that mass tourism has barely touched: golden savanna hills around Sumbawa Besar, white-sand coastlines near Maluk and Sekongkang, and traditional Samawa villages that still keep their weaving and ancestral customs. Three-day, two-night trips start from Rp1,500,000 per person, snorkeling and island trips to Saleh Bay from Rp300,000, while a full experience with boutique stays and local guides can reach Rp6,000,000 per person. The best time to visit is April through October, when dry weather makes the roads to remote areas far easier to travel.
