2025 Banten Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

If you want to get away from the crowded beaches of Java, go to Sawarna Beach, which literally means "golden beach." There are no direct buses or other forms of public transportation that stop here, and the only method to get here is by car or by motorcycle. A major tourist destination is the Batu Layar, a massive rock formation. Because of the island's form, the waves are relatively small, making the beaches ideal for surfing. #seasidephotoguide#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Sawarna although newly discovered, has been developed more intensively compared to Turtles. You can reach conventional stores at the entrance, cross the bumpy bridge and walk a mile you will reach Tanjung Layar Beach while enjoying Pasir Putih Beach, surfer main destination. Hidden behind the cliff is the breathtaking Lagon Pari Beach and Karang Taraje rocks. One of the best virgin beach that i've ever seen, at first you gotta feel sick because the road that head to the beach is so awful but it was worth the wait to endure because the scenery, the view, and the sunset you should experience it in your lifetime. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

#4月好去2025 Tebing Majaya Waterfall (Tebing Majaya, Banten Province)** 📍 **Location**: Lebak Regency, Banten 🚗 **Transportation**: Drive for 4 hours from South Jakarta, and change to a 4WD vehicle for the last 3 kilometers (150,000 IDR/vehicle). 🌟 **Featured Highlights**: The silk-like waterfall falls vertically from an 80-meter-high cliff, and the impact at the bottom forms a natural massage pool. What’s special is that there is a hidden cave behind the water curtain, and you can take photos of the wonder of the "Water Curtain Cave" from the inside. Along the way, we passed terraced fields and rubber plantations, and often saw gibbons active in the treetops. 💆 **Featured Experience**: - Sit in a natural "water pressure massage chair" under the waterfall (strong water flow impacts the shoulders and neck) - Look for bird's nests hidden in the cracks of the rocks (picking is prohibited) ⏰ **Time planning**: - It is recommended to travel for two days and one night, staying in homestay nearby - Best time to take photos: 13:00-15:00 when the sun is directly shining on the waterfall 🎒 **Gear Recommendations**: - Waterproof backpack (will get wet if you pass through the water curtain) - High-energy snacks (hiking consumes a lot of energy)

#getgoing2025 Vitamin sea. When people are back to work, it’s time to have short getaways. Room is amazing. Views are nice wherever you’re looking to. Breakfast is great with lots of variety. By far is the best in Anyer. Kids love it, adults like it. The pools are great. Third time here, still well maintained. We’re greeted long before we’ve arrived. From emails to text by staff the guess relation, that reconfirmed our stays from early in the morning and ensuring that everything is perfect for us. This is something new for a hotel service. And it’s only an hour plus from Jakarta with tolls and arteries roads.

#indonesiatrip The cafe is crowded with visitors even on weekdays, honestly the place is nice, minimalist, and very beautiful, especially the view of the outdoor section. Super cool for taking pictures, and the room inside the cafe is also cool. - The BBC is delicious, the coffee is fragrant and the cream is not too sweet and there is a touch of grated orange on top, it's even more delicious! Really like it - I actually ordered the matcha latte too but forgot to take a photo and honestly I personally don't like it because it's too creamy, covered by the taste of milk, the matcha taste is still floating and there is still some that hasn't dissolved. Overall it's really nice, even though the location is far away at the end, but if I was told to come back again, I would. I wanted to come at 8 on Friday, in reality I came at 9 and visitors didn't stop coming and going. The place is not too big but there was no waiting list this weekday hihi Kavling Komersial Wall Street 1 No.25, Banten

Really love the ambience of 274.street new home at PIK 2, every corner of this place looks aesthetic with the minimalist industrialism concept. Various kinds of menus are served here especially their mainstay brunch menu, they also have delicious classic and manual brew coffee which will be good pair with their foods. .

Once again, a Bandung-origin coffee shop has arrived. This time, it's masagi coffee batu bata. The first impression upon arriving here was the admiration for its building design dominated by brick and its outdoor area in the middle. Even though the outdoor area dominates, there are plenty of lush trees that make sitting here refreshing. There's also an indoor area, though not very large. The drink prices start from around 40k. If you visit, try their Sweet Freddo. Definitely add it to your weekend outing list. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #foodphotography

Baduy at a glance Urang Kanekes or Baduy people are an ethnic group of the indigenous people of the Banten tribe in the Lebak Regency, Banten. Their population is about 26,000 people, and they are one of the tribes that isolate themselves from the outside world. In addition, they also have taboo beliefs to be documented, especially residents of the Inner Baduy area. (wikipedia) Inner Baduy consists of three villages, namely Cibeo Village, Cikesik Village and Cikertawana Village, each of which is led by Puun. The term "Baduy" is a term given by outsiders to these community groups, starting with the term Dutch researchers who seem to equate them with the Arab Badawi group, which is a nomadic society. Another possibility is the existence of the Baduy River and Mount Baduy in the northern part of the area. They themselves prefer to refer to themselves as urang Kanekes or "people Kanekes" according to the name of their region, or a designation that refers to the name of their village such as Urang Cibeo (Garna, 1993). The Baduy tribe itself consists of 2 groups, namely the inner Baduy tribe and the outer Baduy tribe. Inner Baduy Tribe This inner Baduy or Tangtu group is a group that lives in the forest and is also the most obedient to the rules that have been set by their customary head. The hallmark of the Baduy tribe in this is their clothes that are not buttoned and collared, do not wear footwear, and their clothes are white or dark blue. The Baduy tribe in this also does not know technology, money and schools so they can only communicate in their native language, namely Sundanese and read letters or Hancara script. OUTSIDE BADUY Different from the inner Baduy tribe, the outer Baduy tribe lives in an area that surrounds the area where the inner Baduy lives. The outside Baduy are also familiar with foreign cultures such as schools and money. Because they know money, friends can see some outside Baduy people going to sell forest honey. The clothes worn by the Outer Baduy are also different from the Inner Baduy, which are white. (Bobo) The Baduy tribe is generally divided into 3 villages, namely: Cibeo, Cikeusik, and Cikertawarna. The Baduy tribe always obeys all the customs and regulations that have been set by Pu'un or the head of the Baduy Tribe. Adherence to this custom is a rule that must be obeyed to live together. In addition, driven by strong beliefs, almost the entire Baduy community has never opposed or rejected the rules applied by the Pu'un (Chief of the Tribe). The Baduy tribe lives right at the foot of the Kendeng mountains in Kanekes Village, Leuwidamar District, Lebak Regency. Their settlement is about 40 km from Rangkasbitung, the city center in Lebak, Banten. Baduy people speak Sundanese and Indonesia. #oldarchitecture#historicculture#culturalattractions

You could see big rock at the beach. Karang Taraje was like 'Tears of Angel' in Lombok. when the big waves comes, it would jump over the rocks at the beach and made a waterfall through the rocks. Legon Pari was like Senggigi beach. You could swim at the beach, or just sitting on the soft sand beach. If you don't want to get wet, you could just sit at the swing, swing body while enjoying the wind and the sound of the waves. You could not find any hotel there, just some homestay or cottage. The only transportation to get to the beach just riding ojek motorcycle as the beaches were located in remote area. #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear
