Mountainous, rugged Banda Besar is by far the largest island in the Bandas, and the main location of nutmeg plantations. It has about a dozen villages and several historical attractions, but virtually no tourist accomodation. As such it remains very quiet, especially the far side of the island looking out to Hatta and the open sea. Nevertheless, it is well worth at least a day-trip from Bandaneira, and keen hikers or those looking for isolated beaches with great reefs just off the shore could actually spend days exploring it.
