Indonesia

Few places on earth can rival Indonesia when it comes to adventure: this diverse archipelago of more than 17,000 islands is remarkably little explored and little understood even today.

It’s home to dense forests that rustle with unusual wildlife and fascinating tribal cultures, glorious white beaches, teeming coral reefs, dramatic volcanic landscapes and fast-evolving cities.

You could stay in stylish beach resorts on Bali, visit tribal peoples and spot wild Orangutans on Sumatra or Kalimantan, meet the local dragons on Komodo, marvel at Borobudur’s ancient Buddhist treasures or dive alongside manta rays and turtles in any number of locations.
