Visiting Indonesia shouldn’t just be about visiting Bali. While it’s a great island, there are over 17,000 other islands in Indonesia that each offer their unique charm and adventures that any traveller looking for an island escape will enjoy.
Sumatra
As the biggest of the Indonesian islands, Sumatra doesn’t disappoint. It’s got the largest volcanic lake in the world as well as several of the biggest waterfalls in Indonesia. And with many scenic hiking trails, it’s definitely a hiker’s paradise!
Komodo Island
Known for the Komodo dragons that call it home, this fascinating island is certainly worth stopping at, even if you’re on a luxury yacht charter in Indonesia of the likes of Vela. The Komodo National Park is its biggest draw, where scenic mountains, pink beaches and vibrant coral reefs create a dreamscape unlike any other.
Raja Ampat
Offering a dreamy blend of exploration and relaxation, this archipelago consists of over 1000 small islands. It’s where sunrise trekking adventures, marine encounters with manta rays and captivating sightings of birds make you truly appreciate nature’s beauty in blissful seclusion.
Java Island
While it is Indonesia’s most populous island, it also has quite a few incredible volcanic landscapes on earth. The craters at Kawah Ijen and Mount Bromo are the most visited in East Java, while Kawah Putih is a highlight of the west.
