What are the must-sees in Indonesia?
Indonesia is full of highlights, but these must-sees belong on your bucket list.
Java and Jakarta
Java is pure action – volcanoes, temples and big-city energy on one island. In Jakarta, life pulses: street food, rooftop bars and skyscrapers meet colonial architecture. Just a few hours away, Nusantara is emerging as the new capital – sustainable, modern, visionary. In Yogyakarta stands Borobudur Temple, one of the world's largest Buddhist structures – magical at sunrise. And on the volcanoes Mount Bromo and Gunung Ijen, Java shows its wild side: blue fire, green crater lakes, pure goosebumps. History, raw nature and the future – everything on one island.
Bali, Gili and Lombok
Bali is more than a destination – it's pure energy. In Ubud, waterfalls rush through the jungle, between the rice terraces of Tegalalang it smells of frangipani, and temples glow in candlelight. On the coast, waves meet lifestyle: Canggu stands for surf, sun and creative vibes, whilst Ulawatu and Seminyak offer the perfect mix of yoga, beach clubs and sundowners. Afterwards, you'll move on to the Gili Islands – turquoise water, white sand, snorkelling between sculpture fields. Lombok delivers the adventure: climbing Mount Rinjani, pink sand at Pink Beach, sunsets at Tanjung Aan Beach. Three islands – and each tells its own story of paradise.
Flores and Komodo
Flores is rugged, untouched and fascinating. The Kelimutu volcano with its three colour-changing crater lakes looks as though someone remixed the colours. In Bajawa, stone villages tell stories of ancient cultures and living spirituality. Komodo National Park is the absolute highlight: home to the last dragons on earth. Alongside the legendary Komodo dragons, turquoise bays and dive spots await here that rank among the world's best. At Pink Beach, the sand shimmers rose-coloured in the sunlight, and above Padar Island, the sky glows at sunset. Flores and Komodo – this is Indonesia in adventure mode: intense, magical and utterly unforgettable.
Sulawesi, Sumba and Sumatra
Here, Indonesia shows its unvarnished face. Sulawesi fascinates with jagged coastlines, jungle and legendary dive spots like Bunaken and Wakatobi. In the Toraja highlands, you'll experience a culture full of myths, with ship-roof houses and unique rituals. Sumba stays raw and authentic – endless savannahs, stone villages, intricate ikat weaving and the exclusive paradise around Nihiwatu Beach. On Sumatra, you'll encounter orangutans in Gunung Leuser National Park and feel nature's power at the mighty Lake Toba. Three islands – wild, different, unforgettable.
