Majene, Coastal administrative region in West Sulawesi, Indonesia
Located along Mandar Bay, Majene comprises eight districts with diverse landscapes ranging from coastal areas to highlands reaching elevations of 202 meters.
The region contained three influential Mandar kingdoms - Bangai, Pamboang, and Sendana - until Dutch colonial forces established control through the 1667 Bungaya Treaty.
The Mandar people maintain their identity through traditional activities including silk weaving, fishing practices, and the construction of elevated Panggung houses.
Visitors can reach Majene via Tampa Padang Airport in Mamuju, followed by a two-hour journey using local transportation services to the regency capital.
The regency produces significant quantities of cacao, contributing to Indonesia's agricultural sector with processing facilities and cultivation programs.
