A brief atlas of under-the-radar islands
As much as we love Bali, Indonesia literally has thousands of other tropical paradises for you to enjoy, sans the throngs of tourists.

ith over 17,000 islands, Indonesia has no shortage of islands that provide tranquility, idyllic sunshine and clear waters, as far as the eye can see. But somehow, we often end up in the usual Bali, Labuan Bajo or even remote Raja Ampat.
If peace, quiet or adventure away from the throng of tourists is what you’re after, we’ve rounded up a list of under-the-radar islands for you to consider, ranging from the completely unspoiled to the ultra luxurious.
1. Moyo Island, West Nusa Tenggara
If the idea of a picturesque island without luxury accommodation and wifi does not sound like paradise to you, then Moyo Island should be on your list. Toeing the line between FaceTime and your desired “me time” might be hard, but this island can offer a seamless transition between the two.
Seemingly hidden in the Flores Sea, Moyo Island offers serenity and unparalleled amenities as one of the five spots in the country that houses an Aman resort. Amanwana is a unique luxury retreat in a protected national reserve, coexisting peacefully with the ecosystem it both showcases and protects.
2. Joyo Island, Riau
