Let's plan a trip to Atauro

An island situated 25 km (16 mi) north of the capital, Atauro makes a perfect escape from the noise and heat of Dili. The sparsely populated island has just two small villages on its eastern side, each offering a scattered few places to stay, eat, and recharge. Meanwhile, its beaches lead out into abundant, crystal clear waters. Snorkeling and diving excursions top many Atauro itineraries, as do inland hikes through the forests.
