Fill Ramadan with a Short Holiday, Enjoy the Warmth of Togetherness on the Tanjung Lesung Beach
JAKARTA - The moment of Eid is always synonymous with togetherness. After a month of restraint, the Eid al-Fitr moment becomes a time to reunite, share stories, and enjoy meals with family.
Some people choose to celebrate in their hometowns, while others take advantage of the long holiday to rest in a quieter place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still within easy reach.
One of the areas that is often chosen by residents of Jabodetabek is Tanjung Lesung. Located relatively close to Jakarta, this area of about 1,500 hectares has the status of a Special Economic Zone (KEK) for Tourism and offers a variety of activities, ranging from marine tourism to cultural experiences.
Visitors can enjoy the expanse of clear waters, watch the sunrise and sunset with the backdrop of Mount Anak Krakatau, to try snorkeling and diving to explore underwater life.
Other activities such as jet skiing, electric cycling along the coastline, jogging, playing golf, and visiting the Mongolian cultural center and creative economy tourist village are also available. For those who want to see the panorama from a different angle, there is also an air tour using a Cessna-type light aircraft.
For accommodation, Tanjung Lesung Beach & Hotel offers a beach resort concept with vernacular-style villas and cottages. Each unit is equipped with facilities such as a private balcony, garden, and in certain types there is a private pool.
Entering Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah, the management prepared a number of overnight and Iftar packages designed to present a sense of togetherness in a quieter beach atmosphere.
Carrying the theme "Ramadhan Escape Package", guests who stay can enjoy access to a number of beaches in the area such as Lalassa Beach, Ladda Beach, and Bodur Beach, as well as visiting the Mongolian Culture Center. Before breaking the fast, simple activities such as walking along the beach while enjoying the sea breeze can be an option.
At the Lalassa Beach Club area, there are also various water sports such as banana boats, jet skis, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving. For land activities, guests can try bicycles, electric bicycles, or ATVs to get around the area.
"For the 2-day 1-night Ramadan package, the price starts at Rp. 688 thousand net per night, including breakfast or sahur and fasting dinner or dinner, plus free takjil for two people per room. With a stay period until March 19, 2026," said Tanjung Lesung Beach & Hotel's President Director, Poernomo Siswoprasetijo, at the Tanjung Lesung Beach & Hotel, in a press statement to VOI.
In addition to the overnight package, there is also an option for breaking the fast with family or for corporate activities held at several restaurants in the area.
"For the fasting and fasting package, it starts at Rp. 35 thousand per person," said the man who also serves as the CEO of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Indonesia Chapter.
For the Lebaran holiday period, there are stay packages with prices starting at IDR 1,050,000 nett per night which include breakfast and dinner for two people per room. Guests can also enjoy entertainment such as acoustic music performances, tumbuk lesung traditions, to fire shows.
"For the Lebaran package promo, it applies to tourists who stay from March 20 to 24, 2026. This Lebaran promo is available in two packages, namely the 2-day 1-night package to 3-day 2-night package," said Poernomo.
Access to this area is also getting easier with the opening of the Serang-Panimbang Toll Section II, which until the end of March 2026 provides tariff-free access for certain guests who make early reservations.
With a relatively calm beach atmosphere and a variety of activities, this area can be an alternative for families who want to celebrate Ramadan and Lebaran in the form of a short vacation that is still warm, but with a different background than usual.
