Laut Mati Lake
Danau Laut Mati
A sea lake on the east side of Rote Island, enclosed by cliffs, with glassy-calm water dotted with small islets. Explore by boat or motorbike.
Laut Mati Lake is a saltwater lake ringed by limestone cliffs. It takes its name from the rock walls that shelter it from the wind, which keep the surface almost completely still. Several small islets dot the lake, and you can rent a boat or motorbike to tour them or simply enjoy the views from the shore. Facilities at the site are basic, and some access roads are dirt tracks. You need to hire a car to get there, and it is often combined with Thousand-Mouth Rock on the same eastern island trip. (Accounts of the exact location vary between sources, so confirm with your local driver before setting out.)
