Ambon, Indonesia

Long before the Europeans began searching for spices in the West, nutmeg, mace and cloves had brought trade to the Moluccas, the legendary Spice Islands of the East Indies.
Ambon, the capital of Maluku province, was the center of the Dutch clove monopoly and was once known as the 'Queen of the East.'
Echoes of Sinbad the Sailor and Captain Kidd drift across deserted beaches and turquoise bays teeming with more species of fish than just about anywhere else in the world.
Here in these transparent waters, divers plunge for pearls among pristine coral reefs.
Here, too, you can visit intriguing villages with their traditions still intact.
