An archipelago that consists of 27 islands that form a marine park, of which only 5 are inhabited by people, the Karimunjawa Islands are the archetypal castaway island paradise. A burgeoning tourism industry is beginning to take hold of these islands fringed by pearly white sandy beaches, and is quickly becoming a popular destination amongst those that are looking for pastures anew to escape the over-commercialized and over-populated tourist hotspots of Bali and increasingly, the GIli Islands too.
