Key Facts

Kepulauan Sembilan is a small archipelago located within the Raja Ampat Regency of West Papua Province, Indonesia. Situated in the heart of the Coral Triangle, this island group lies approximately 50 kilometers northwest of Waigeo, the largest island in Raja Ampat. The archipelago covers an area of roughly 15 square kilometers and consists of nine main islands, from which it derives its name meaning 'Nine Islands' in Indonesian. These islands are characterized by their rugged limestone formations, pristine white sand beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters that support some of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems. As part of the Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area, Kepulauan Sembilan plays a crucial role in conservation efforts while supporting a small local population primarily engaged in sustainable fishing and emerging eco-tourism. The islands are administered as part of Raja Ampat's district system, falling under specific village jurisdictions within the regency's administrative structure.
