A romantic island escapade doesn’t have to be a one-time honeymoon affair. Everyone could do with a getaway to spice up their love life. With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is ripe for the picking.
We aren’t just talking about a quaint camping trip on a deserted island a la The Beach; but lavish resorts with stellar views of white sandy beaches, rejuvenating spa packages, tantalizing cuisine and most importantly, a serene stay experience. The wealth of choices in Indonesia means that there will be an island paradise tailor-made for your needs.
And it’s not just exclusively beach villas either. Cliff-top stays, glamorous Italianstyled resorts and misty forest hideaways are also part of the equation. The diversity of the Indonesian archipelago grants a bevy of potential itineraries and experiences for the discerning travel couple. Fancy a cruise to the islands within Komodo National Park, a helicopter tour or private seaplane trip? There’s a resort for each of these activities.
No matter your choice, rest assured that the both of you will enjoy a pampering experience. Spend the time to discover the wonders of Indonesia together, or simply indulge in the secluded, romantic vibes of your own private villa. It’s your call.
