Bukit Saburi II – small settlement on Adonara Island, Flores Timur Regency
Bukit Saburi II is a small Indonesian settlement that belongs to the Adonara Barat kecamatan (district) within the administrative territory of Kabupaten Flores Timur. The regency forms part of Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara, abbreviated NTT) province, which falls within the eastern zone of the Lesser Sunda Islands, in the Bali and Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion. Based on the settlement's coordinates (-8.3130942, 122.9663018), it is located on Adonara Island, which Wikipedia lists by name among the islands of NTT province. Provincial-level sources are available; however, no directly accessible data exist specifically for this settlement, so this article provides the necessary regional context where appropriate, clearly indicating such references.
General overview
Bukit Saburi II is administratively connected to the Adonara Barat kecamatan, which forms part of Kabupaten Flores Timur (Flores Timur Regency). Adonara Island lies east of Flores and its ring of smaller islands, and also falls under the jurisdiction of NTT province. Since the numeral "II" in its name suggests a numbered, likely administratively distinct smaller unit or dusun, the settlement is presumably small and operates within a local agrarian environment, though published data on this matter are unavailable. Regarding the broader province of Nusa Tenggara Timur, verified data indicate that in 2022 it was inhabited by 5,446,285 people, and by the end of 2025 the population is expected to reach 5,742,560. The province consists of 1,192 islands, among which Flores, Sumba, and Timor rank as the three largest. Kabupaten Flores Timur extends over the eastern part of Flores Island and its associated smaller islands, including Adonara, so Bukit Saburi II is situated in a low-density, predominantly agricultural and fishing-based island microtopography. Its distinctive tourist appeal or widely recognized characteristics cannot be determined from available sources.
Real estate and investment
No direct, accessible data exist regarding the real estate market in Bukit Saburi II; therefore, the following reflect the broader regional context. East Nusa Tenggara province generally ranks among the less developed segments of the Indonesian real estate market: tourism infrastructure primarily affects and concentrates development activity around Komodo National Park and a few prominent islands in the province. On Adonara Island and in other parts of Kabupaten Flores Timur, real estate transactions occur almost exclusively at the local level, with minimal presence of external investors. Regarding the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, it is important to note that foreign nationals cannot acquire "Hak Milik" (full ownership) status in Indonesia; only certain limited property rights are available to them, such as Hak Pakai (usage rights). This general regulatory framework applies throughout the country, including in this rural, remote area. The island location and underdeveloped infrastructure increase the investment return risk; this factor must be carefully weighed before any real estate market decision.
Safety and security
No published statistics exist—neither at local nor district level—regarding the public safety situation in Bukit Saburi II. The broader region, East Nusa Tenggara province, is generally classified among Indonesia's rural, agriculturally characterized areas, where smaller, more isolated island communities typically possess close local social bonds and traditional conflict resolution mechanisms. However, this does not constitute an official security assessment and does not replace current, on-site information gathering. When planning travel or residence, current consular advisories and fresh information from local authorities are authoritative, as certain parts of the province require attention regarding natural hazards (such as volcanic activity and tropical storms).
Tourist attractions
No named location can be provided based on sources regarding direct tourist sites in Bukit Saburi II. However, the broader province, Nusa Tenggara Timur, possesses several verifiable natural and cultural sites of note. Komodo National Park is the province's most renowned attraction, which is the sole natural habitat of the Komodo dragon, the world's largest living lizard species. Located on Flores Island is the Kelimutu three-colored crater lake, also confirmed as a unique volcanic formation from provincial-level sources. Alor Island's underwater world is likewise prominently featured in NTT province's provincial descriptions. These locations lie at relatively considerable distances from Bukit Saburi II; their accessibility should be planned with consideration for the province's relatively underdeveloped transportation infrastructure. No source-supported tourist destinations have been identified in the immediate vicinity of Adonara Island that could be linked to Bukit Saburi II.
Summary
Bukit Saburi II is a small settlement, not documented in detail in available sources, on Adonara Island within Adonara Barat kecamatan of Flores Timur Regency in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The broader province's natural and cultural wealth—from Komodo National Park to Kelimutu Lake—is known and verified; however, these sites are located at a distance from the specific settlement. From real estate, public safety, and tourist perspectives, based on publicly available information, the local context can primarily be described through the general characteristics of the rural, island-based living environment. To obtain more precise information, consultation with local authorities and direct on-site inquiry are necessary.
