Discover the magnificence of stunning Indonesia
Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Indonesia offers the sights and sensations that would delight all types of travelers, whether it's the white-sand beaches of Bali or the rich cultural nest of Jakarta. Sitting between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Indonesia boasts over 13,000 islands! That's a lot of exploring to be done, and no matter where your feet take you, you're sure to make plenty of fun-filled memories. Take your pick from Indonesia's vacation rentals and get ready to immerse yourself in the local culture and lifestyle.
Let Indonesia seize your senses
Considered one of the most iconic tourist and cultural spots in Bali, the rock formation of Tanah Lot—on which an ancient Hindu shrine is perched—invites you to gaze upon its ocean-sculpted beauty. Just a one-hour drive from Yogyakarta, you'll find Borobudur, the world's biggest Buddhist temple. Take this expansive sight as it towers over you on nine stacked platforms topped by a central dome. Komodo National Park is highly regarded for the largest species of lizard, aptly named the Komodo dragon. The marine biodiversity surrounding the park serves as a hotspot for scuba divers of all levels of experience.
Indonesia goes from mild to wild
Indonesia's weather generally splits into wet and dry seasons, much like other tropical locations. Expect a steady 82 degrees throughout the year, with dryness spanning from May to September. During the wet season that occurs from October to April, you'll find that Indonesia vacation rentals offer better deals as people avoid the muddy outback roads that can hinder hiking activities. There are exceptions to the year-round tropical heat, such as the well known Mt. Bromo and the mountain regions in general, where temperature can dip to as low as 48 during the night.
Indonesia blurs the line between nature and architecture
Indonesia's abundance of volcanoes, along with its rich soil and humid climate, produce some of the most fertile land on Earth. You'll find evidence of this in the incredible variety of flowers that envelope most of the temple sites. This also leads to the highest concentration of mammals in the world, such as monkeys, tigers, elephants, and apes, so you won't be lacking any photo opportunities. If you really want to get up close and personal with the wildlife in their natural habitat, consider seeking Indonesia vacation rentals close to the country's numerous national parks.
