Pulau Kenawa
About the Destination
Pulau Kenawa is a hidden gem off the west coast of Sumbawa, topped by rolling savanna hills and framed by water so clear it looks like a lagoon. It sits in Kecamatan Poto Tano in West Sumbawa, part of the Gili Balu island cluster, reached by a short boat ride from the ferry port. Swim in the shallow turquoise bay, hike to the island’s summit for a 360-degree view over Selat Alas, and, after sunset, fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves while deer roam the hills.
