Maluku or internationally known as the Moluccas and Molukken is a land of paradise, with natural products such as cloves, nutmeg, gold and pearls. The islands of Maluku range from rugged, mountainous wildernesses to active volcanoes rising straight out of the sea and idyllic coral atolls. Fine beaches and coral reefs abound, and there are plenty of historical reminders of the region's turbulent past..
Ambon and the Neighboring Lease Islands all spot a good mix of fine beaches, diving possibilities and relics of the colonial era. It is not limited to all the forts standing by the seaside, but is even obvious in the local culture. The Christian "Ambonese" - the term also covers the people of Lease and SW Seram - have gained a reputation throughout Indonesia for wholeheartedly embracing their Dutch rulers and their culture. Till this day, relations with the Netherlands remain strong, all the more so because just about everyone seems to have relatives living there. Unsurprisingly, western visitors, Dutch or not, tend to be welcomed with open arms here.
