Kuta Lombok is the most popular destination on the island of Lombok. It’s full of hip cafe’s, modern accommodation and is the hub for surfing and beach adventures. When you are by the beach your major concern as the afternoon begins to fade is where you should head for sunset. The best sunset view is Bukit Merese Hill in Kuta Lombok
Located at Tanjung Aan Beach in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Bukit Merese has been dubbed as the perfect place to fall in love and it deserves that label! Bukit Merese can be easily accessed by 30 minutes driving from Lombok International Airport.
When you arrive at the location, you will be welcomed with the view of Tanjung Aan Beach, white sand and calm blue water perfect for walking or even swimming and don’t forget to take some photos, you must take a selfie there.
The real beauty of Tanjung Aan is actually the Bukit Merese. Yes, it might be quite tiring to climb the hill, but the view will pay off! To reach Bukit Merese Hill it takes a 15-minute journey out to the hill. If you just want to reach the first viewpoint is only about a 5-10 min walk up the hill. If you decide to head all the way to the furthest headland it may take you a bit more than 20 minutes.
Always bring hats, sunglasses, and sunblocks because of no trees or shelters in Bukit Merese. It’s recommended to visit Bukit Merese in the morning or in the afternoon (before sunset) because the view is the most beautiful at these times. However, it’s also an awesome place to explore during the day!
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, because you will need to hike the hill. It’s recommended to rent a car or motorcycle to go to Bukit Merese, as it’s difficult to find public transportation around the location. keep walking all the way to the headland and sit out on the edge with views down the coast in both directions. Take some photos and marveled at the endless ocean as the sky turned a fiery red.
From the top of this hill, we can see the beauty of the panorama that will not be forgotten.
