Local Knowledge Ensures the Best Experiences for your Borneo Guesthouse to East Indonesia Vacation
The Secret Boutique Guesthouses team are all located in the best destinations in Asia, by being on the ground in East Indonesia, when we select a Borneo guesthouse or Raja Ampat guesthouse for inclusion in the collection, we have made the selection based on direct experience. We only include accommodations in our east Indonesia collection when the guesthouse, homestay, surf camp, lodge or resort matches our selection criteria for inclusion. In looking for the best guesthouses to curate in our shortlist we look for properties that offer a strong sense of place with their guests and a warm yet professional hospitality.
Travel is all about experience, and your chosen place to stay while discovering a new destination is an essential part of the whole travel experience that can set the tone for your holiday, we aim to select properties that share the essence of the destination, this is the sense of place we seek. Equally important to the team at Secret Boutique Guesthouses is the preservation of our Asian homes, where travel supports and gives back to the local community as it gives in sharing experiences with travellers and visitors.
Sustainable and responsible travel is key to all Secret Boutique Guesthouse stays in East Indonesia, to ensure these delicate environments and cultures are preserved and protected for the generations to come and that the footprints made by travel do not trample as they explore and discover our destinations from your preferred Borneo guest house or eco homestay, or Raja Ampat, Flores, Manado or Komodo guest house.
East Indonesia Offers, from World-class Diving from your Raja Ampat Guesthouse to Komodo Dragons on Flores to the Orangutans of Borneo
East Indonesia offers so much to the visitor, starting perhaps with a stay in a Raja Ampat guesthouse, the eastern most point where you can snorkel or dive some of the most biodiverse reefs in the world, or explore the islands of Raja Ampat and West Papua to enjoy the sights and sounds of the incredible Birds of Paradise. The rich variety of natural wonders in this region of Indonesia have to be experienced to be believed. The Indonesian archipelago is a treasure trove of natural wonders but the unique cultures that have long called these island paradises home are not to be missed either. A melting pot of cultures, people have been living in Raja Ampat and West Papua for more than 4000years, with many lifestyles of the various tribal groups largely unchanged in all this time, still living from the land and sea and living in harmony with their natural surroundings.
Another natural highlight of the region has to be the Komodo Dragons. Typically visitors will fly into Labuan Bajo, perhaps booking a Labuan Bajo homestay or guesthouse to connect with the local people and enjoy the true flavour of a Flores stay. A stay in a Flores guest house is a great idea, this largely undeveloped region offers a lot of opportunity to the more adventurous traveler whether exploring the island’s volcanoes, forest or immersing in the local culture, Flores is a great place to get off the beaten path. The Komodo National Park is nearby, and while for a long time a Komodo guesthouse was impossible – the island was closed to overnight stays – it is now a possibility to stay on the island and sleep on the island of dragons…if you dare…
The regions wonders continue to unfold as you explore and the renowned dive spots of Manado, on Sulawesi, are not to be missed. Famed for its enormously biodiverse reefs and particularly for the macro diving, a stay in a Bunaken guesthouse will reward divers and snorkelers with some truly incredible dive experiences. And for the beach lovers and surfers, don’t forget to book a Sumba surfing homestay or Sumba guesthouse. This island paradise of Sumba has some of Indonesia’s best beaches and great surf. With swells year-round, Sumba is twice the size of Bali but with half of the hype, nicely avoiding all the problems of mass tourism peaceful beaches and empty waves are very possible here. Most of the best waves are found on the south-western and south-eastern tips of the island, but surf charters to the many reef breaks around the island are also a great idea, there are waves for everyone, from beginners to pros.
