Hotels in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

South Sulawesi, a province on Indonesia's Sulawesi island, is famous for the dramatic highlands of Tana Toraja with its elaborate cliff graves and traditional tongkonan houses, and the pristine white-sand beaches of Tanjung Bira. The climate is tropical and warm year-round, averaging 27°C (81°F), with a dry season from April to October perfect for trekking through Toraja's rice terraces and snorkeling in the clear waters of the Selayar Strait. In the wetter months from November to March, you can explore Makassar's 17th-century Fort Rotterdam and watch Bugis shipbuilders at work in Bira, while enjoying lower hotel rates and fewer tourists.
