Best Luxury Hotels in Indonesia

Comprising over 17000 islands and straddling the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Indonesia includes countries such as Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Bali, parts of Borneo and New Guinea. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from April to October, although you’ll find the climate is at its best for travelling during July and August. The natural beauty and tropical lifestyle enjoyed here ensure that Indonesia consistently receives tourism from across the globe. And while it may involve a long-haul flight, the sense of escape that’s gained from a holiday here, is well worth the time.
