About Spice Islands
The Banda Islands (formerly the Spice Islands) in the Banda Sea of eastern Indonesia were once the world's only source of nutmeg and mace, triggering centuries of colonial conflict. Banda Neira is the main settlement, with Dutch colonial fort ruins, nutmeg plantations, and spectacular diving in the volcanic caldera waters.
