Hotels in Southwest Papua, Indonesia
Southwest Papua in eastern Indonesia is famous for Raja Ampat's coral reefs, home to over 1,500 fish species. The climate is tropical and humid, with dry months from October to April offering calm seas for snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean, while the wet season from May to September brings lush green jungles perfect for trekking to limestone karst viewpoints like Piaynemo. If you're on a budget, visit during the rainy season for cheaper flights and fewer tourists, but bring a rain jacket.
