ISLAND
OF LEMBATA (LOMBLEM)
Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

Every
district has its own language, its own customs, its
own brand of animism. The quality of the weaving arts
and richness of Lembata's fabrics can only be compared
with Sumba Island. There are two districts worth visiting
in the northern part of the island, Iliape and Kedang,
where villages are scattered under the shadow of volcanoes,
dotting the coasts. The best sarungs are in the Iliape
District but you won't find them very easily (only for
ceremonial use) and they cost up to Rp20,000. In the
Kedang District much porcelain can be found, even in
the back villages, plus ivory (including whole tusks)
which came from Sumatra originally. Very fine ikat is
woven on this island.
