Merauke – one of the districts at the eastern tip of Indonesia, now has a new tourist destination that offers the beauty and tranquility of the Papuan forest. Lotus Garden, a man-made destination designed with a natural concept, has become a favorite for local and foreign tourists who want to experience the harmony between man-made beauty and natural authenticity of Papua.
Lotus Garden comes with the main attraction of small ponds surrounded by shady trees typical of the Papuan tropical forest. In the middle of this beautiful area, there are gazebos deliberately designed to provide a place to relax for visitors.
With its tranquil atmosphere, Lotus Garden is an ideal location to spend time with family, friends, or even just to enjoy some alone time amidst the hustle and bustle of life.
Although Lotus Garden is a man-made destination, it does not lose its natural Papuan touch. The surrounding scenery surrounded by tropical flora creates the illusion of being in the middle of a real jungle. Plus, the atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city makes visitors feel like they’re in a little hidden paradise.
One of Lotus Garden’s strengths is its eco-friendly concept. All elements, from building materials to pond water management, are designed to maintain the balance of nature. “We want to bring sustainable beauty, so that visitors can enjoy this place without reducing the natural beauty of Papua,” said one of the Lotus Garden managers.
The gazebos in this area are made from local wood that is processed with environmentally friendly techniques. In addition, the water in Lotus Garden’s small ponds comes from natural springs that are well maintained by the management. These measures demonstrate Lotus Garden’s commitment to preserving the local ecosystem.
For visitors in search of tranquility, Lotus Garden is the perfect choice. Here, they can enjoy the beautiful scenery while being accompanied by the melodious sounds of Papuan birds. This peaceful atmosphere is perfect for meditation, yoga, or simply releasing stress after the daily routine.
Many tourists also use Lotus Garden as a location to take pictures. The combination of the pond, the gazebo, and the tropical forest background creates a mesmerizing portrait. No wonder, Lotus Garden is often a favorite location for couples who want to take pre-wedding photos with a natural feel.
