Didiabolo – a small settlement in Supiori Selatan district, Papua Province
Didiabolo is an Indonesian settlement that belongs to the Supiori Selatan district (kecamatan) in Kabupaten Supiori (Supiori regency), located in Papua Province. Based on its coordinates (approximately −0.75 southern latitude, 135.52 eastern longitude), it lies near the Pacific Ocean region on the northern coastal strip of the island of Papua. Papua Province – whose administrative seat is Jayapura – was reduced to its current territory following an administrative reorganization in 2022, when several new provinces (Papua Tengah, Papua Pegunungan, Papua Selatan) were separated from it. Currently, no independent, detailed numerical data about Didiabolo is contained in available public sources; therefore, the following description is based in part on verifiable context at the broader district, regency, and provincial level, with this always being noted.
General overview
Didiabolo forms part of the Supiori Selatan district (kecamatan), which belongs to the administrative unit of Kabupaten Supiori. Kabupaten Supiori is a relatively small, low-density regency in the northern part of Papua Province, an area characterized largely by tropical rainforests and coastal zones. The regency is situated on Supiori Island and neighboring smaller islands, which possess an isolated location surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The Supiori Selatan district itself is sparsely inhabited, consisting of communities sustained by agricultural and fishing activities. Didiabolo is most likely a small, village-sized settlement inhabited by a local community, which does not feature in broader public awareness and, based on available data, does not possess tourist infrastructure. According to the most recent data regarding Papua Province as a whole, by the end of 2025 the province had a population of approximately 1,122,097 people, which clearly illustrates that the average population density in this part of the island of Papua is extremely low compared to the Indonesian average. This characteristic is even more pronounced in Supiori regency, where settlement is scattered and transport connections are limited.
Real estate and investment
Detailed real estate market data specific to Didiabolo is not available publicly. Across the broader Kabupaten Supiori area, the real estate market is underdeveloped, transaction volumes are minimal, and it primarily serves local needs. In isolated, small-population districts belonging to Papua Province, the value of property and market movements are generally not comparable to more developed Indonesian regions, such as Bali or Java. Investment activity across the province depends on the level of infrastructural development, which in the case of Supiori is relatively low. An important general legal framework to mention is that in Indonesia, foreign citizens cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over property; for them, longer-term lease arrangements (Hak Sewa) or the Hak Pakai title are most readily available, with the details best addressed with the assistance of Indonesian legal advisors. This national regulatory framework applies equally to Didiabolo and to Supiori regency.
Safety and security
Specific public safety statistics or local police reports regarding Didiabolo are not publicly available. Regarding Papua Province as a whole, it can generally be stated that in certain parts of the province – particularly in internal, difficult-to-access areas – administrative and law enforcement presence may be limited, which can affect daily life. At the same time, coastal and island settlements in Supiori regency and within the Supiori Selatan district are typically small-population villages organized on a community basis, where local community cohesion plays an important role in maintaining everyday security. Regarding specific recommendations for travel or residence, guidance from Indonesian authorities and the relevant country's consulate is authoritative, as the situation may change over time and depends on individual circumstances.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attraction, natural feature, or cultural site specific to Didiabolo can be identified from available sources. The Kabupaten Supiori area is generally rich in coastal and marine natural assets – the region is characterized by coral reefs and a rich underwater world in the nearby Pacific Ocean waters – however, information about these relates only to the broader regency or provincial context and cannot be specifically attributed to Didiabolo. Papua Province as a whole possesses numerous unique natural features and traditional Papuan culture, but these cannot be identified in forms specifically associated with Didiabolo based on available sources. Those traveling in the Supiori regency area with an interest in local natural and cultural values would be well advised to seek information from local contacts or regency-level tourism offices, as publicly available information is limited.
Summary
Didiabolo is a small, poorly documented Papuan settlement in the Supiori Selatan district, Kabupaten Supiori, in Papua Province. No independent, detailed data is available about the village; based on the broader context, it is a low-density, isolated, coastal-type area characterized by the Papuan natural environment and small community scale. From the perspectives of real estate market, public safety, and tourism alike, the general characteristics at the regency and provincial level are applicable, as no specific, verifiable information regarding Didiabolo is currently available publicly.
