<![CDATA[Abstract Villa Rumede Kunyi is a natural tourism destination in Anreapi District, Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, whose attractions have not been systematically described. This study aims to identify and describe its natural tourism attractions and the recreational experiences they support. A descriptive qualitative design was applied, using repeated direct field observation. The data were analyzed with the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña and organized through an analytical framework adapted from Indonesian tourism law, the 4A destination components, and the attraction criteria of the ADO-ODTWA guideline. The findings show four groups of attractions: (1) a clear river with natural rock formations; (2) green vegetation with rice-field and mountain panoramas, visible along the route from the parking area; (3) a cool and tranquil atmosphere with the sound of flowing water; and (4) recreational activities, namely playing in the river, relaxing, photography, enjoying the scenery, and camping. Camping stands out because it combines all other elements into a single overnight experience. Because these attractions rely on the river and on visitor activity, their development should consider water safety, cleanliness, and the carrying capacity of the camping area. This study provides an initial attraction inventory that can serve as a basis for destination planning and for further research on visitor perception and community involvement.]]>
