Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia that consists of thousands of islands of volcanic origin.
In many cases, these islands can be genuine tropical paradises that offer rainforests, stunning beaches, and warm weather to travelers that visit them.
Here are our picks for the five most beautiful islands to visit in Indonesia.
Bali
One of the most well-known islands in the Indonesian archipelago is Bali, and with good reason. It’s a larger island that has breathtaking landscapes and beaches, as well as a vibrant cultural life to discover.
Weh
This island is located at Indonesia’s westernmost point, northwest of Sumatra. Much of the island is a biosphere reserve, meaning that its lush landscape and animals are protected.
Padar
Padar forms part of Komodo National Park. This means that, you guessed it, visitors can see komodo dragons! Part of Padar’s draw is also dramatic, mountainous landscape that is surprisingly dry considering its location.
Flores
In contrast to Padar Island, Flores is a foggy, green, tropical paradise. Its name, meaning “flowers” in the Portuguese language, hints at the exotic species of fauna that can be found there.
Belitung
Finally, Belitung rounds out the list of Indonesia’s most beautiful islands based on its serene, white sand beaches. The turquoise hue of the water is enough to make you want to stay in this island forever.
