Pantai Mandel

Covered in palm trees, the odd chicken crossing the road that leads through the jungle, crystal clear, turquoise water with white sand beaches, a blue lake with the clearest water you can imagine, coconuts and cacao plants everywhere you look, the most friendly locals curiously asking our names and kids running after us with the biggest smiles on their faces. This is Banggai! One of Indonesia's most underrated places. A hidden and still very unknown gem off the coast of Sulawesi, a true local island paradise off the beaten track that I fell in love with. If you want to experience narueal beauty and hidden gems far from (international) tourism, this is the right place to go.
