The Republic of Indonesia has long been visited by pioneers, missionaries, traders, foreign trading companies, and now the modern independent traveller. Its hugely diverse peoples, exotic cultures, varied cuisines, and distinctive handicrafts have established it as
a destination for adventurous travellers for seventy years.
Its land and seascapes are spectacular, as you would expect from the world’s largest island country spreading between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, straddling the Equator, and having its feet in two continents, South East Asia and Oceania. It offers tranquil beaches graced by Indonesia beach resorts, Indonesia hotels reminiscent of the days of Joseph Conrad, hot springs, and a wealth of rain forests home to unique and rare flora and fauna.

Its culture survived the colonial period when Western powers vied to control its strategic maritime location, abundant natural resources,
and fragrant spices. It is now something of a challenge to the more adventurous traveller wishing to go off the beaten path but an Indonesia holiday with Secret Retreats offers a uniquely local experience by working directly with local communities and carefully curated Indonesia boutique hotels and resorts.
