The Maluku Islands archipelago, or the Moluccas as they are often affectionately referred to, encompass a popular region of Indonesia and reside between Papua and the island of Sulawesi. Maluku really is nothing short of an Indonesian paradise and appeals to most sun seekers and holidaymakers, since its white sand beaches really area quite special. Many tourists come to the Maluku Islands each year, to take full advantage of its world-class coral gardens and exceptional snorkelling, although its remote location ensures that its tourism scene remains pleasantly understated. Tourist information is readily available at most resorts on the main islands, such as Ambon, Bacan, Halmahera, Morotai, Seram, Ternate and Tidore, as well as the Banda Islands, Aru Islands, Kei Islands and the Tanimbar Islands.
What you choose to do on the Maluku Islands depends really upon where you choose to base yourself, although most of the Moluccas do boast dreamy beaches, a number of which appear to be quite deserted and almost undiscovered. The beaches of Pulau Wamar, Pulau Wokam, Pulau Kola, Pulau Trangan (Aru Islands) are particularly good around its leading resort of Kepulauan Aru, where the bayfront and mountainous backdrop are major Maluku highlights. Scuba diving around the Kepulauan Aru is also very notable.
You could easily while away an entire holiday hopping around the islands of Maluku and reclining on their pristine beaches. However, if you would like to experience different parts of Indonesia, then do consider a flight or long boat trip to either the island of Sulawesi or to Western Papua. Sulawesi lies to the west of the Maluku Islands and is known for its national parks and beautiful coral reefs, while Western Papua is to be found to the east and comes with peaceful beaches, hiking trails and wildlife reserves.
