Hidden Paradise on Selaru Island

Holiday Ayo - Selaru Island has millions of charms that are a shame to miss when visiting the Tanimbar Islands, Maluku. This archipelago landscape with clean beaches can be an option for healing.

So, what are the tourist destinations that can be visited while stopping on Selaru Island?

As cited from travel.detik.com, the following are recommendations when a traveler is on holiday on Selaru Island:

 

1. Eliasa Village Beach

 

Eliasa Village is the outermost village which is the border point of Indonesia and Australia. To reach this village, you have to travel approximately 40 km from Adaut Village with a fairly steep terrain because the access road is still a rocky dirt road.

 

Even though the journey is quite challenging, the natural scenery that is presented is very pleasing to the eye. On their recent trip to Selaru Island, the detik.com team had the opportunity to stop at the border icon in the form of a beacon and boundary marker that is directly opposite the coast of Eliasa Beach.

 

From a height, the view of the sea with calm waves, white sand that stretches wide, beautiful green forests, and clouds in the blue sky blend together beautifully.

 

Besides enjoying it from a height, you can also play on the white sand and blue sea of this beach. As well as relaxing for a while in the shady gazebos available on the beach.

 

2. Angwarmas Island

 

Want to see endemic flora and fauna in the Tanimbar Islands? Angwarmas Island is the place! This island as well as a nature reserve saves the beauty of the Tanimbar flora in the form of orchids which local residents know as Lelemuku. The view of the cliffs as the habitat for orchids on Angwarmase Island is a hidden beauty that you can see when you visit Selaru.

 

Apart from flora, if you are lucky you can also find endemic fauna such as the Goffin's Cockatoo on Bird Island which is only 5 minutes from Angwarmas. This island also has beautiful coral reefs that are well maintained, so it can be a diving spot for those of you who like to dive. To be able to reach this place you need to take about 30 to 60 minutes by speedboat from Saumlaki.

 

3. Tnyafar

 

Do you want to enjoy a beautiful sea view while observing the unique culture of the people of Adaut Village? You can visit the Tnyafar Coast, where the people of Adaut Village carry out the Tnyafar tradition.

 

On the coast of Tnyafar, you can enjoy views of the beach with neatly arranged rows of coconut trees side by side with wooden huts that have roofs of dried coconut leaves. Wooden boats that are commonly used by residents to find fish are also busy mooring around the coast, a unique sight that can be found in Tnyafar.

 

Also enjoy a beautiful sunset treat while absorbing the seconds when the bright sky turns dark with a stunning orange tinge. This view can also be a beautiful background for those of you who want to capture silhouette photos at Tnyafar.
