We are proud to bring you the Inaugural issue of itravelindonesia. The young team felt that it was time to go beyond just booking your discounted hotels and Indonesian domestic flights. So here we are.

In this Animal issue, we take a close look at my favourite destination in Indonesia, the Seminyak district in Bali. For our funky jilbabbers, Islamic fashion makes waves in London’s fashion week.

For the hordes of Indonesians flying to Singapore to shop and visit the doctors, we say there is more to Singapore than just Takashimaya and Mount Elizabeth.

Indonesians are the happiest people in the world. We look at a recent Norwegian survey that tells us that Indonesians smile more than anyone else on the Planet.

It is a modest start for us. In the next year, we will bring together articles that we hope will entertain, inform and bring you back. We hope that you will be a frequent visitor to itravelindonesia. As always, send us your feedback, kudos, and brickbats to cs@itravelindonesia.com.

Happy holidays.

Santika Premiere Seaside Resort Manado



This is billed as one of the best Hotels in Manado. It actually is, except that with a dearth of travelers, sometimes feels empty. The Santika Premiere is part of a local chain of Hotels and its Premiere range does offer style and some luxury.



The Santika Premiere Seaside Resort Manado is in Tongkaina-Bunaken overlooking the Bunaken nature reserve.The Hotel is only 30 mins by taxi from Manado town and about 45 mins from the international airport.

The Resort offers 101 guest rooms. The rooms are well appointed and come with all the furnishing and finishing of a Hotel of this range. The Resort also offers cottages that have spectacular sea views.

The Hotel
has four swimming pools including a great wading pool for the kids. There are four food outlets but our favorite is the Big Tree Café, right on the beach serving oven fresh pizzas and other hearty Italian fare.



The Bunaken Sea Gardens can be reached in less than 10 minutes. The Resort has its own dive shop and Bunaken is a great diving experience.
