The Thousand Islands, known locally as Kepulauan Seribu, are a group of small tropical islands
scattered across the Java Sea, just north of Jakarta. This paradise offers crystal-clear waters, white
sandy beaches, coral reefs, and luxurious resorts — the perfect getaway from the city’s hustle and
bustle. Only a short boat ride away, it’s one of Jakarta’s most popular weekend destinations for
snorkeling, diving, and relaxation.
