💡 Tips
- Hire a local driver in Ambon city to help you locate the most secluded stretches of Batudua beach.
- The Maluku Sea is generally calmest from September to November, making it the best time for swimming.
- Be sure to try local sago-based snacks, as sago is the traditional lifeblood of the Moluccan diet.
- Apply high-SPF sunscreen; the equatorial sun is extremely intense when reflected off the white sand.
- Engage with the friendly local fishermen; they may offer boat trips to nearby hidden coves for a small fee.

Sago porridge served with a turmeric-based yellow fish soup; the iconic dish of the Maluku Islands.

Batudua is located on the northeastern coast of Ambon Island and is the epitome of tropical serenity. The region is part of the Spice Islands, offering a fascinating blend of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The village is surrounded by dense coconut groves that stretch right down to the shore. The main attraction is North Liang Beach, which was once recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia. Its fine, flour-like sand and the sea shimmering in various shades of blue are truly mesmerizing. South Liang Beach provides a slightly quieter atmosphere, well-suited for travelers seeking solitude. Underwater, divers and snorkelers will find a true spectacle of colorful coral reefs and an enormous variety of fish species. The local cuisine is strongly influenced by the island's spices, with fresh fish often seasoned with nutmeg and cloves. Batudua is mostly accessible via Ambon airport, followed by a scenic drive along the coastal road, which features dramatic views of the Maluku Sea.
