Indonesia Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
With 17,000 islands to go around, holidays to Indonesia spoil you for choice. You can earn your scuba stripes in Bali, meet the monkeys in Ubud, and venture up a volcano in Lombok.
Eye-catching islands
Spin a globe to where the Indian and Pacific oceans meet, and you’ll find the island nation of Indonesia – scattered like stepping stones between Singapore and Australia. Indonesia’s island catalogue spans 17,000 and counting – new ones are constantly being discovered – and they come in just about every shape and size.
Indonesia’s A to Z
The island of Java’s home to the powerhouse capital city, Jakarta. Dominated by skyscrapers, this thriving metropolis is one of the busiest on the planet. Over in back-to-nature Borneo, meanwhile, orangutan-inhabited jungles reign supreme. Elsewhere, Bali and Lombok are what you’d call all-rounders, earning them their place among the most popular spots to holiday in Indonesia.
Bali and Lombok
In Bali, the sands are accessorised with swish cocktail clubs and high-end hotels, while the forest-filled interior turns its attention to yoga classes and rice paddy tours. Lombok takes an even more laidback approach, replacing spas with waterfalls and bar streets with volcano hiking trails. Whichever one you choose, pack your wetsuit – they’re both top-notch territory for surfing and snorkelling.
