Unveiling The Mystique: The History Of Run Island, Indonesia
Run Island: Where History Meets Paradise
Once upon a time, in the heart of the Banda Sea, a forgotten Indonesian island became the subject of a historic swap—an island that would forever be etched in the annals of time. Run Island, a coconut-fringed gem spanning a mere three kilometres in length and less than one kilometre in width, was the object of a fierce sixty-year feud between the Dutch and the English.
While Run Island may not be a household name, the island it was eventually exchanged for holds worldwide recognition: the island of Manhattan. Join us on a journey to the captivating Run Island, where history, natural beauty, and the allure of luxury yachting intertwine.
