Mamuju, Regional capital territory in West Sulawesi, Indonesia
Mamuju is a regency in West Sulawesi with coastal areas, rolling terrain, and islands in the Makassar Strait. The region is divided into eleven districts, with the administrative center based in Karema.
The area was established as an administrative district in 1540, shaping the region's development over centuries. In 2012, the creation of Central Mamuju as a separate entity marked a major reorganization.
Islam shapes daily life here, visible in the many mosques throughout the region. People also maintain traditional boat-building skills and celebrate maritime customs that connect them to the sea.
The best time to visit is during the drier months when rainfall is less frequent. Travelers should orient themselves around the eleven districts and use Karema as a starting point for exploring.
The Balabalakang Islands lie in the Makassar Strait and form a natural part of the regency's territory. This island group offers distinctive landscapes for visitors interested in coastal exploration.
