Looks tempting. Any info on how to get to mentawai, nias by flight?
I wish I won lottery to lease these areas. They are beautiful islands to be visited. The issue is, whether these accomodation are accompanying with proper transportation to reach these islands.
Beautiful places. The problem is infrastructure. If there is an easy way of island hopping in Indonesia, it would be great.
Is Java for sale? I’d buy it. AH, I’m told its been ‘sold out’ already. Too bad.
Hasn’t Richard Branson of Virgin Airways already bought one of these islands and build a Bali style mansion there for the rich and the beautiful to stay? I remember vaguely having seen something on TV about him and the place with Mariah Carey holidaying there.
Based on our Agrarian Law, a foreigner cannot buy a land in Indonesia, and the website that offer the island mentioned this and that the island can only be leased.
Lease? for 50 years. That’s as good as buying it in some countries. Might as well do a Hong kong and lease them out for 99 years.
On a separate note, you can fly to the Mentawais on Susi Air. Small caravan planes that seat 12.
Superb surfing…Tsunamis included for free.
so we got papuan in the cabinet. so much for discrimination.
I’d like to see an aborigine minister in australia other than for things related to their own welfare.
