Amazing Places that aren't Bali

It is composed of over 17,000 islands and is home to a multitude of cultures, languages, and religions. In a place so vast, it’s a shame that most travelers choose to visit only one of its many islands – namely, Bali. So next time you’re planning a Pacific holiday, maybe give some thought to these lesser-known destinations. Avoid the crowds and skip the relative expense of Indonesia’s ever-popular holiday haven.

Kuta, Lombok

If you’re just after a nice place to chill out, Kuta Lombok is your answer. Close to several great beaches and full of cafes to hang out in, it’s the perfect destination if you want the easy Bali lifestyle without the crowds.

Komodo National Park

Every day in Indonesia seems to involve a volcano in one way or another, but Mount Ijen is pretty special. If you visit in the middle of the night, you’ll get to witness one of nature’s most fantastic spectacles: bright blue flames flickering around the crater. Make sure to hire gas masks because those sulfur fumes aren’t just stinky, they’re dangerous, too.
