Indonesia, often called the "Land of a Thousand Islands," is home to nearly 18,000 islands in total. With so many islands to choose from, deciding which ones to explore can be a daunting task. So, which islands should you definitely visit when you come to Indonesia? Let's explore them with Mytour!
Here, Mytour suggests 4 of the countless islands that belong to Indonesia. These are names that many Vietnamese travelers are likely already familiar with.
Bali
Bali - one of Indonesia's top islands
Bali is one of the most famous islands in Indonesia and the first destination anyone looking to experience island tourism in the country should choose. Unlike a secluded, lesser-known island, Bali is a hot spot for tourism in Indonesia. Here, you’ll find not only beautiful beaches with fine white sand but also a vibrant hub of entertainment, from lively nightlife to water sports and popular attractions.
Make sure you're comfortable with the idea of being in a busy, bustling place, because Bali is an island full of life and excitement.
If you're seeking something truly unique in Bali, the Hindu temples here will surely leave you in awe, with their stunning architecture, interiors, and fascinating history.
When getting around the island, it's best to opt for a tuk-tuk, but if you prefer more independence, you can rent a scooter to ride on your own. Just be cautious though, as the traffic can be quite tricky here.
Lombok
The island of Lombok embodies tranquility and charm
After Bali, Lombok has become a familiar destination for Vietnamese travelers booking flights to Indonesia. What sets Lombok apart from Bali is its peaceful, relaxed atmosphere, offering an escape from the bustling, lively nature of Bali. In other words, Lombok is just as beautiful, alluring, and picturesque as Bali, but it feels like a secluded world, distanced from the noise and chaos of the outside world.
This island is the perfect choice for couples seeking a romantic honeymoon, or for travelers in need of a peaceful retreat to unwind and relax after long days of work or study.
Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat - a paradise archipelago with over 600 islands
Raja Ampat is an archipelago consisting of over 600 islands of various sizes. The name Raja Ampat means "4 kings", referring to the four largest islands in the group: Waigeo, Misool, Bantanta, and Salawati.
Raja Ampat truly is a perfect paradise. Here, you can experience kayaking or diving to explore the coral reefs. The water is so clear you can see beneath the surface, surrounded by limestone mountain ranges that create a landscape that is both poetic and majestic.
In reality, Raja Ampat is an archipelago that remains relatively unknown to many travelers. Perhaps this is why it has preserved its pristine, untouched beauty, something rare to find. If you ever get the chance to visit Indonesia, don't miss out on exploring this fascinating "4 kings" archipelago.
Maluku Archipelago
The pristine and alluring beauty of Maluku
The Maluku Archipelago, also known by the unique name "Spice Islands", holds fascinating historical stories about Indonesia's past, particularly its birth and development. After Vasco Da Gama discovered the sea route to India, it was found that the Maluku Archipelago was the only source of nutmeg in the world. This is why it was dubbed the Spice Islands, and it became a target of competition among various parties for control, as monopoly trade rights became a major issue.
These are the stories from history. Today, the Maluku Archipelago is a fascinating destination, both for its nature and culture. Like Raja Ampat, Maluku has not yet been fully exploited for tourism, so it retains its pristine charm. It is also considered a paradise for coral reefs, making coral diving the most prominent activity for visitors exploring this archipelago.
In the "Land of a Thousand Islands", there are thousands of islands to choose from. These are just four suggestions that Mytour would like to introduce for your consideration. Be sure to book a flight to Indonesia to explore and share your experiences with us, as well as many fellow travel enthusiasts.
