The Magic That Lies Beyond Bali

Bali is just the beginning. Beyond it lie Indonesia’s hidden wonders—pink beaches, sunrise treks, Komodo dragons, and luxury escapes that feel like secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Here are some highlights worth unlocking:

Scenic Sights - Padar Island
If you plan to stay overnight on a Liveaboard, you could start the day with a sunrise trek on Padar Island. With six levels and more than 800 stairs, it’s manageable with good fitness and the right shoes (leave the jandals at home). The climb is short but rewarding, offering sweeping views, dramatic landscapes, and photo ops that will fill your camera roll in no time. Remember to take a torch with you if you plan to get there before sunrise.

Beach beauty – Taka Makassar & Pink Beach
Float in the crystal-clear waters of Taka Makassar, a sandbank in the middle of the ocean where it’s just you, the sun, and the horizon. Then make your way to Pink Beach, where crushed coral gives the sand a soft bubblegum hue. It’s a real-life filter and one of those pinch-yourself moments you’ll never forget.

Animal Encounters – Komodo Dragons & Manta Rays
Step into Komodo National Park and see the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, a rare and thrilling experience led by local rangers. Trek through rugged landscapes alongside monkeys, cobras, and other wild companions. It’s exhilarating, unforgettable, and a little spine-tingling. Prefer the ocean? Head to Manta Point and snorkel with graceful manta rays. These gentle giants glide effortlessly below, curious and calm, turning a simple swim into a magical encounter.
Luxury Resorts – TA’AKTANA
When it’s time to unwind, TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa delivers indulgence at its finest. Picture overwater sea villas, poolside relaxation and spa treatments that feel like pure bliss. With architecture inspired by local culture and flavours unique to the region, every detail feels authentic and premium. Add in a swim-up bar, wellness centre, kids club, and beachfront views, and you’ll feel like royalty strolling in your robe.
