Indonesia : Off The Well Worn Path

Indonesia is a vast country with a diverse range of travel experiences to offer. While many people flock to popular tourist destinations, there are hidden gems that offer a more unique and exclusive experience. These secluded luxury resorts provide a peaceful escape from the well-trodden path.

Gone are the days of travellers’s defaulting to the Seminyak’s and the Canggu’s of Bali (although they continue to hold a very special place for all of us and are still a brilliant choice for a fusion of relaxation and hustle/bustle if you stay in the right place), now the yearn is on for something a little more wild. A little more world. A little more rugged.

What sets these resorts apart is their exclusivity and attention to detail. They are often located in remote locations, far from the crowds, and offer personalized experiences tailored to each guest's preferences. The private villas nestled in the lush forests of Bintan Island and the luxurious beachfront retreats of Lombok offer an unparalleled level of comfort and relaxation.

These resorts are perfect for those looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation in a peaceful setting. They provide a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing guests to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Here we will introduce you to some of the best luxury resorts off the beaten path in Indonesia. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or an adventure in nature, we've got you covered. So, get ready to explore some of the most exclusive and unforgettable destinations in this beautiful country.
