Mollucas islands

A Hint of Spice

There’s ‘getting away from it all’ with modern convenience at your fingertips, and then there’s really getting away from it all.

In Indonesia’s farthest eastern quarter sit the Molucca islands and Raja Ampat (just off West Papua’s north-western tip) - about as removed from urbanisation as you can get; wild, timeless and utterly beautiful. Whether you’re a dedicated diver who’ll go those extra miles to see extraordinary underwater worlds, or a keen traveller who just wants to look over every horizon, this sprinkling of islands is bucket-list wish fulfilment to fan the flames of your wanderlust.

Snorkelling in Indonesia

Pull on a pair of fins, position your mask and snorkel, and wade into the gently-lapping sea… Depending on where you stay, you can access this underwater wonderland from secluded shoreline spots, from your resort beach, on a day trip by boat, or even on a longer boat-based journey through the seas surrounding Indonesia’s incredible islands.

Ancient temples and spiritual sites in Indonesia

Indonesia’s islands are punctuated with peaceful temples and spiritual sites; poignant markers of the country’s religious culture and history. Walk among intricately-carved stones, witness sacred ceremonies and learn about Indonesia’s diverse beliefs.

There must have been something in the 9th century Indonesian air, when both Borobudur and Prambanan's - Java’s two colossal temple complexes - were built. They stand as enduring testaments to the island’s spiritual culture and history.

Sulawesi festival

Ritual Union

Wandering through Sulawesi can open your eyes to a different facet of Indonesian culture: the slow-paced, steadfast rhythms of rural life; striking, boat-shaped Tongkonan houses; intense death rituals and exuberant warrior dances. Taste fiery seafood dishes served as fresh as its possible to be from beachside pop-ups, track tiny tarsiers in Tangkoko nature reserve, canoe through Sengkang’s stunning karst cliff landscape, and dive into Bunaken’s underwater beauty. There’s no pretence here, and no tourist-centric sheen, just genuine, unspun moments which bring this extraordinary island into full focus.

Lombok

Lombok & the Gilis

Laid-back Lombok holidays are the antithesis to visiting bustling Bali. Nothing dramatic usually happens, but therein lies its charm. Explore by bike, motor scooter or on foot and discover waterfalls, patchwork paddy fields and traditional villages. The beaches are rustic and formed from coarse volcanic sands, but what else would you expect from a coastline in the shadow of Mt Rinjani?
