Belitung Island, located off the eastern coast of Sumatra in Indonesia, is a hidden gem known for its stunning natural beauty, pristine beaches, and unique granite rock formations. You can relax on the beaches, swim in the sea, and explore the area. Popular beaches include Tanjung Tinggi Beach, Tanjung Kelayang Beach, and Pantai Burung Mandi Beach. The coastline of Belitung has unique granite rock formations, called “batu belah” or “split rocks.” These formations create beautiful landscapes and great photo opportunities.

To explore Belitung, you should take a boat tour to visit the islands. You can’t miss Pulau Lengkuas, known for its lighthouse and amazing views. Other popular islands include Pulau Batu Berlayar, Pulau Kepayang, and Pulau Burung. If you’re into snorkeling and diving, Belitung is perfect. The waters are full of marine life, including coral reefs, colorful fish, and underwater caves and rock formations.

Belitung’s culture is influenced by Malay, Chinese, and indigenous traditions. You can experience this by watching traditional dance performances, going on culinary tours, and visiting fishing villages. Belitung’s cuisine is famous for its fresh seafood dishes, traditional snacks, and unique flavors. You should try local specialties such as “mie Belitung” (Belitung-style noodles), “ikan bakar” (grilled fish), “es jeruk kunci” (orange juice) and “es kacang merah” (red bean ice dessert).

Apart from beaches and islands, Belitung has natural attractions such as Kaolin Lake, a former tin mining site with turquoise waters, and Tanjung Pandan Mangrove Forest. Belitung is perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. You can lounge on the beach, enjoy a sunset cruise, or indulge in a spa treatment.
