Padar Island

Although the beaches of Padar are a striking feature, it is the view point on the island that really steals the show. This is where the island reveals it’s truly remarkable beauty – A view that is sure to enchant any who see it.

Colossal savannah hills dominate the island and hidden among them lie 3 individual coves, encompassing white, black & pink sand beaches. All of which form a perfect contrast with the striking turquoise shades of the surrounding ocean, so it is no surprise that the island is a hotspot for photographers.

The trek to the viewpoint is relatively easy for those of a reasonable fitness level, however after a 45 minute round trip in the blistering heat, you will be grateful for a dip in the refreshing, crystal clear water!
