Sade Sasak Village
Desa Sade
A Sasak village that keeps traditional thatched houses and rice barns, where you can learn about Lombok's indigenous way of life and see weaving.
Sade Village lies beside the road from the airport to Kuta Lombok. About 150 Sasak families still live in traditional houses with bamboo and timber walls and thatched roofs. The floors are coated with a mixture of cow dung and earth to keep out insects and damp. The village also has distinctive “lumbung” rice barns. Villagers guide visitors around and explain their wedding customs (the traditional “bride kidnapping”) and daily life. Women give live demonstrations of handweaving. Entry is by donation rather than a ticket. Guide tips are about Rp 50000–100000, and you can bargain when buying textiles. It is about 15 minutes' drive from Kuta.
