Metita Island: A Family Holiday in Indonesia You Will Never Forget

The average modern family is busy. Work, school, sports, and socialising take up much of our day, and screen time has taken us away from quality time together. What if we told you there is a place you could disconnect from the daily grind and just be together in nature? Wouldn’t you jump at the chance to reconnect with your family?

Metita Beach & Dive Resort doesn’t offer slides, kids clubs, or mascots, but it does have something much more precious – time to enjoy each other’s company in a pristine natural setting.

A Remote Paradise

Discovering Metita Island: A Hidden Gem in Indonesia

Metita is a secluded island just off Morotai Island in North Halmahera. It is far from tourist crowds and is untouched by large-scale development. Just getting to Metita Island is part of the adventure of this family getaway.

Whether you travel from Jakarta or Manado and hop from Ternate to Morotai by plane or car and boat, there is plenty to see along the way. The beautiful scenery from the air and on land will be a brand new experience for the whole family.

Reconnecting as a Family

Metita Island: A Family Holiday in Indonesia You Will Never Forget

When there is so much going on at home it can be hard to spend quality time together. Constant phone notifications, TV, and general digital noise can take the focus away from time together. Without this chaos, there is time to have meaningful conversations and enjoy time playing and exploring together.

Without distractions, things like sharing a meal with ocean views, walking down quiet beaches, and stargazing under crystal clear skies are some of the simple pleasures of Metita Island.

Activities for All Ages

There may not be specific family-friendly facilities, but there is plenty to do for all ages. Snorkeling is a gentle activity that the whole family can do together. The reefs in the Hamalhara area are teeming with life and incredibly clear. For parents and children from 10 years old, getting closer to the reefs is possible with the right dive certification.

Nature walks to explore the island’s flora and fauna and strolls on the beach to collect shells are also great family activities. The beach is also wonderful for ball games and building sand castles. These are some of the simple pleasures of island life.

Simplicity and Relaxation

Metita Resort: A Sustainable Resort for Eco-Conscious Travelers

Metita Island is a stress-free environment where parents can unwind while their kids explore safely. There is a lot of space on the island for freedom and exploration, which kids often don’t have in our modern lives. Sometimes unstructured play is a real eye opener rather than everyone’s time being organised all the time.

Napping, reading, swimming, playing, and eating become more natural when every moment of the day isn’t planned out and timetabled.
