Banda
The Banda Islands are a small and storied cluster in the Banda Sea, once the only place on earth where nutmeg grew naturally — making them the center of the global spice trade and the site of fierce colonial rivalry between the Portuguese, Dutch, and English. Today, the Bandas are a place of haunting beauty and historical depth. Dutch colonial forts crown volcanic hillsides, nutmeg orchards still perfume the air, and beneath the surrounding sea lies some of the most spectacular wall diving in the world. Remote and rarely visited, the Banda Islands offer an extraordinary journey into a forgotten chapter of world history.
