offer something wonderful for everyone. The
sandy streets and waterfront losmen (budget guesthouses) of Pulau Derawan are a first-rate
backpacker destination, while the postcard-pretty twin resort isles of Nabucco and Nu-
nukan offer some truly extraordinary diving, along with high-end bungalow accommoda-
tion. And for those intent on finding an authentic tropical paradise, massive Maratua atoll
and the virtually untouristed islands beyond offer a shot at bliss that is increasingly hard to
find. Homestay visits here have been known to stretch on for weeks.
