Pink Beach
Indonesia
From Padar Island, we continue to the enchanting Pink Beach. It takes approximately 10 minutes by speedboat to reach this stunning destination. The beach’s distinctive pink-hued sand is the result of white sand blending with red coral fragments, creating a soft, rosy shoreline you won’t find anywhere else. Here, you’ll have time to unwind, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and simply relax as you soak in the beach’s unique charm.
