Indonesia hosts the largest archipelago in the world comprising 17,504 large and small tropical islands. The entire region is filled with stunning picture postcard sandy beaches to explore, many still uninhabited islands with a number even still unnamed, and a true feast of nature and beauty.

Straddling the equator, situated between the continents of Asia and Australia and between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, Indonesia is as wide as the United States from San Francisco to New York, equalling the distance between London and Moscow.

The entire region offers a truly rich diversity of ancient temples, music that ranges from the traditional to modern pop and live music, dances, rituals and ways of daily life that vary from island to island.

Among the most well known islands of Indonesia are: Papua, Flores, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan (formerly Borneo), Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), the Maluku Islands (better known as the Moluccas, the original Spice Islands).

Then there is Bali: “the World’s best island resort” with its enchanting culture and spiritual traditions, beaches, dynamic dances, music and wonderful hospitable people.

With so many unexplored islands offering grand mountain views, volcanoes to climb, green tropical rainforests to trek through, rolling waves to surf and deep blue pristine seas to dive into where one can swim with dugongs, dolphins and large manta rays, it’s a prefect location to own a share in a yacht as each visit will contrast the previous stay on board.
