The Overview

Just 85 kilometers north of the traffic-smothered capital lies Tiger Islands Village & Eco Resort, less than two hours by speedboat on the Java Sea. The theme here is back-to-nature relaxation, with five tents and 11 accommodations on the island, including a red-brick cabin, a two-room bungalow on stilts, and curtained open-air huts facing the sea. The beach nirvana awaits not on Pulau Macan, the resort’s main island, but on its uninhabited second one, about 10 minutes by paddleboat. The secluded beaches here don’t stretch out in a straight line, but rather are nestled between mangroves growing out to sea. Surrounded by crystalline waters and abundant corals off the beach, it’s almost inconceivable that, technically at least, one is still in the administrative region of Jakarta.
