| Thousand Island Area
It’s hard to imagine, after the urban heat and city
sprawl of Jakarta, that a tropical fantasy land is just
a short boat ride away. But it’s true. The “Pulau
Seribu” or Thousand Islands, boasting white sand
beaches, coconut palm fringed shorelines, colorful coral
reefs, water sports, and star-studded peaceful nights,
are scattered off the northern coast of Jakarta like
tiny jewels in the Java Sea.
The islands are actually
part of a marine national park, which conserves the
islands’ undersea life and lush vegetation. A variety
of resorts, catering to travelers and urbanites seeking
relaxation, welcome visitors to the islands, offering
everything from ethnic inspired cottages on the edge of
a deserted beach to five star, full service comforts,
including gourmet meals and water sport activities. For
those seeking an escape from the urban experience, the
Thousand Islands beckon with the promise of a perfect
peace.
