If you have ever dreamt of spending your days perched in a hammock looking out at sparkling aqua blue water as palm trees dance in the wind, then Maluku is the place for you. This is nature at its purest. A true heaven on earth. A place many only dream of visiting. The Maluku islands are an archipelago within Indonesia, located to the east of Sulawesi and west of New Guinea. A whopping 632 islands make up Maluku, with the largest being Halmahera and Ambon home to the province’s capital. Being an original source of mace, cloves and nutmeg, Maluku is commonly referred to as the ‘Spice Islands’, making for one exotic holiday destination name.
The beauty of Maluku is that it is largely untouched by urbanisation and tourism. This means that the environment is in top notch condition, even if the hotels might not be. Don’t let the basic utilities and potential lack of home comforts keep you away. Maluku’s natural beauty will keep you grounded and have you appreciating Mother Nature’s wonder like nowhere else. Small ships and boats are on hand to take visitors to neighbouring islands, so know that you will easily be able to move between islands within Maluku.

What to see and do in Maluku Islands ?
Being such a stunning natural playground, spending time outdoors is definitely going to be high on your list when you arrive in Maluku. The Bandu Islands in northern Maluku are considered by some to be eastern Indonesia’s best kept secret. The islands are a prime dive spot, where you’ll be sure to befriend turtles and rainbows of fish. It’s best to avoid travelling to Maluku in June – September if you’re an avid diver, as this is the monsoon season where waters may be too rough to dive in. The most well-established dive spots in Maluku are known to be Ambon, Saparua and Banda, where dive shops are plentiful.
Maluku has an enthralling military history, riddled with stories of Dutch occupation, British invasion and Portuguese conquerors. Benteng Belgica and Benteng Nassau are two of the prime places to visit if you’re eager to learn more about Maluku’s past. For more historical encounters there are a surprising number of museums dotted throughout Maluku. Keraton is perhaps one of the most exciting. It is a semicolonial Sultan’s Palace which to this day remains as a family home. Rumah Budaya and Museam Siwalima are two other museums with notable collections of historic relics.
Being an archipelago, Maluku has an impressive range of seafood readily available for a fraction of what you would expect to pay back home. The staple food of Maluku is papeda kuah ikan, best describes as sago typically eaten with yellow soup infused with turmeric, lime and a myriad of exotic spices. Throw caution to the wind and don’t hold back. Indulge and enjoy the vibrant, flavoursome food of the islands of Maluku, all while knowing that you’re supporting the local economy by doing so.
