The heart shaped island of Pulo Cinta literally means love island, and this name is not derived solely from its heart shaped geography. Back when Celebes was part of the Dutch trading routes, the young Prince of Gorontalo fell in love with the daughter of a Dutch trader. Though their love was forbidden, they escaped to Pulo Cinta, where they were able to carry on their romance in secret, below the remote region’s breathtaking stars. Today, lovers and friends alike can enjoy this stunning paradise with the comfort of luxury accommodations and such modern amenities as electricity and running water.

This was our second trip with Remote Lands... On Java, our guide was excellent and we loved being the only people at Borobudur after the monument closed to the public.
