Sumatra | Bangka & Belitung Island Area
Bangka are Belitung are known as the “tin
islands”, in recognition of the extensive metal reserves that have
supported the island’s economy since the 18th
century. But these days, Bangka is earning a new
reputation as a prime tourist destination, offering its
guests some of the loveliest beaches in the archipelago
plus world class golf and recreational facilities.
Bangka’s best beaches are located at Matras and Parai,
with white, palm-fringed sands providing the perfect
spot for swimming, sunbathing, or relaxing. Guests are
sure to be tempted by the bounty of fresh seafood in
Bangka’s restaurants. They will also appreciate the
service at the several newly built three and four star
resort hotels, with rooms overlooking the shoreline,
swimming pools, fitness facilities, and golf courses.
Next to Bangka Island is Belitung Island, which has the
same impressive quality of beaches and facilities.
Tanjung Kelayang beach, half an hour from the island’s
capital by car, is the center for tourism development,
with beach resorts offering excellent accommodations.
