Artha Homestay is located in a very strategic location, located in the middle of a small town on Tomia Island, Wakatobi. Artha Homestay is equipped with supporting facilities in the room. Besides the facilities, the price is very affordable and highly recommended for travelers and backpackers.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities:
Art and Culture:
So you will learn about many things such as how local people of Tomia Island process local plants such as cassava and corn into food. For those of you who like fishing, you will learn how to catch fish using traditional fishing rods. How do you look for marine life to be processed into food and how to cook it. Here you will learn all through local people. You will learn to cook and produce your own special food and I am sure that you will like it and can be applied wherever you are.

Here you will witness local cultural attractions that have some combination of Javanese and Mongol culture. You need to know that the culture of Tomia Island is a culture that originated from the Kingdom/Sultanate of Buton (Baubau) which has a combination of several cultures, but the most influential in Buton culture is a culture introduced by Mongols and Javanese people who have come and lived on Buton Island (Baubau) in the kingdom.

You can see this through a number of aspects such as the model and style of dress that are the same as the traditional Mongolian clothes. While from the cultural aspect of the community Tomia Island is still influenced by customs and cultures originating from ancient Java (Hindi-Sanskrit), such as the local language used and local wisdom applied.

What else...

What can you do?
You can go around the village by watching a row of colorful houses. Besides that you will also visit some unspoiled villages that are on the highlands by offering very exotic panoramas. There you can enjoy local coffee and delicious local specialties. In addition to the food offered, in the highlands you can see small islands and oceans directly around Tomia Island and in the afternoon you can peek at the orange and extraordinary sunset.

Beach:
If you like the beach atmosphere, I will invite you to visit some of the beaches on Tomia Island by motorbike. For the beaches on Tomia Island it is still very natural because it is not always enlivened by visitors and tourists and the distance is very far from the local community. Here you will swim or snorkeling and hang out on the beach that has clean white sand or relax with a quiet and calm atmosphere.

Naturalist Life Camping:
If you like adventure, I will invite you to do outdoor activities on a small uninhabited island, which is Sawa Island in front of Tomia Island by boat. Sawa Island is a land of sand that is only covered by coconut trees and several other sand plants. Sawa Island is surrounded by extensive sand and white and surrounded by diving / snorkeling sites that are very well known by international tourists.

Here we will do camping for several nights with the concept of natural life. We have tents that I have prepared and various other supporting facilities. But before we go to Sawa Island, we will do snorkeling activities at several dive sites. Some of the activities that we will do while on Sawa Island are I will invite you to look for snails, fishing, and search for marine biota that can be consumed and after that I will teach you how to cook it. For those of you who are vegetarian, you don't need to worry because we will prepare all your needs before we head to Sawa Island.
