Merese Hill
Bukit Merese
A grassy hill beside Tanjung Aan, overlooking the bay and the long coastline, and the best sunset viewpoint in southern Lombok.
Merese Hill is a small grassy hill on the western side of Tanjung Aan beach. It takes about 10–15 minutes on foot from the beach car park to reach the top. The summit has wide views: on one side is the twin-crescent bay of Tanjung Aan, and on the other is the winding coast and small bays toward Kuta, with the Mandalika resort visible in the distance. Crowds are heaviest at sunset, and local people often walk past with water buffalo, creating an atmospheric scene. There is no shade on the hill, and the midday sun is strong, so it is best to climb after 4 pm. After sunset, it gets dark quickly, so bring a torch.
