James MK: Probably the grandest hotel on Ternate. Government owned (apparently) and it shows. Desperately needing a renovation, it is nice enough but getting rough around the edges. Friendly staff - as always. Great views of the mountain from the terrace/pool area. Food is pretty basic and below what they really should be producing. Overall, still a nice enough place to stay.

Vistamika: We stayed overnight for transit. The hotel is in strategic location, only 10 minutes by car to the airport. The hotel is in the same building with a shopping mall. They upgraded our rooms from deluxe to super deluxe with no additional charge. It’s fantastic to overlook the night views of Gamalama mountain and the city light from the balcony at night. The breakfast provided on 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. However, due to our early flight, the hotel prepared some meals earlier so we could have our breakfast before check out. What an excellent experience!
Jl. Merdeka No.19, Gamalama
From € 27
Guest User: This is an excellently run hotel - all the more unexpected given the place - and strongly recommended if you are in Ternate. The hotel was modernised a few years ago. The interiors are fresh and very functional. The front desk team are very friendly and professional - personally checking the room before releasing it. My room was better designed, equipped and cleaner than most KL Airbnbs/hotels I've stayed in recently. The bathroom shower glass and mirrors were almost spotless... amazing. Breakfast was a decent buffet - pastries, fruit, toast, local hot dishes (really good!) - with clean, modern utensils and plates. Great job! The location is quiet but a walk to the waterfront market area. Straight up the road to Moya and one of the routes to the mountain. 15 mins from the airport. Overall, there is nothing to fault these guys. Yes, no gym, pool, big terrace, etc, but if you want a friendly, safe, clean, very functional space with a comfy bed, decent shower, and workable internet - Belson Hotel is your place.

Jl. Sultan M. Djabir Sjah, Gamalama
From € 33
Guest User: Let's start with the positives: The service was friendly and helpful; the room was clean, tidy, and odor-free. The environment was relatively quiet, the mattress was the perfect firmness, and the linens were comfortable and conducive to sleep. The breakfast was decent, but suitable for someone like me who's cutting out carbs, and filling enough for a moderate meal. The amenities were complete, including a safe and refrigerator. The lighting was adequate. Cons: The bedside light switch lacked a button to turn off all lights, which needs improvement. The outlets weren't suitable for Chinese tourists, so you'll need to bring your own adapter.

harizhalim: Cozzy Hotel Archie 2 was okay for a short visit. The location is very convenient, and the front desk staff were friendly. However, the room felt a bit dated, and the walls were thin, so we could hear some street noise at night. It’s a fine place if you just need a clean bed to sleep in, but don't expect anything luxury.

#easytravelpost Gamalama (1,715 m) is the conic volcano on Ternate island, Maluku — the mossy cloud forest belts the 1,000–1,400 m saddle on the Ake Taja route, with clove plantations below and Myrtaceae cloud forest above. No park fee, guide 300–500 k IDR/day (Ternate town co-op), Sultan Babullah airport→trailhead 30 min ojek (50 k IDR). Best Jun–Sep; Jan–Mar eruption-alert closures. I flew Jakarta→Ternate, ojek to the Dufa-Dufa trailhead 06:30, guide 07:00 (400 k IDR), climbed. The moss is the Ternate cloud forest: Thuidium on the clove-shade trunks 1 cm, Metzgeria on the Syzygium 1 cm, 14°C in July, a Moluccan starling, the Tidore cone across the strait. I hit the 1,200 m mossy saddle 09:30, moss on the old Dutch survey post black-green, ate a 25 k IDR Ternate market nasi kuning, watched a spangled drongo work the mist. Mistake: I started 10:00 in August — afternoon cloud on the saddle, zero view, plus the Ake Taja track greased; 06:30 start, turn at 1,200 m if cloud builds. Another: Gamalama jumps to level 2 without notice — check PVMBG in Ternate. Would you ojek 50 + guide 400 k IDR for the Ternate→Gamalama mossy cloud-forest saddle, or skip the volcano and do the clove-plantation + Benteng Oranye history walk instead?

One of my favorite moments in Ternate was watching the sunset at Tolire Beach. It’s located on the western side of the island, about 45 minutes from the city center, and the drive itself is already beautiful with views of the sea and the silhouette of Mount Gamalama along the way. I arrived a bit before sunset, and the colors slowly changed in a way I didn’t expect. It started with a soft orange glow, then became deeper and more vibrant as the sun went down. Just before it got dark, the sky shifted into a mix of orange and purple tones, which made the whole view feel even more special. The atmosphere here is very relaxed. Along the beach, there are a few small cafés and also more traditional warung with plenty of seating, so it’s easy to just sit down, have a drink, and enjoy the view without rushing. 💡 From my experience: · Try to arrive at least 30–45 minutes before sunset to see the full color transition · The west coast gives a clear, open view of the horizon · Renting a motorbike makes it easier to reach and explore nearby spots · It’s a good place to slow down and just enjoy the evening It’s a simple experience, but the combination of the colors, the quiet surroundings, and the open view of the ocean made it one of the most memorable sunsets I’ve seen. #springtravel #Ternate #Indonesia #TolireBeach #nature #sunset #SunsetView #IslandTravel #HiddenGem #TravelSG #TripMoments #TravelMalaysia #TravelTaiwan #TravelHongKong #TravelChina #AsiaTravel #SoutheastAsia #ExploreIndonesia #VisitIndonesia #海岛旅行 #日落 #旅行推荐
I didn’t expect much when I went to Ternate, but it turned out to be one of the most memorable places I’ve been to. What makes Ternate special is how compact everything is. It’s a small island, but right in the center stands Mount Gamalama, which gives the whole island a very unique landscape. Wherever you go, you’re always surrounded by a mix of mountain and sea views. The water here is incredibly clear, and many spots around the island still feel untouched. I spent most of my time just moving around the island and stopping whenever I saw a nice view, there are plenty of those. But the highlight for me was the sunset. As the sun goes down, the sky slowly changes color over the ocean, with nearby islands in the distance. It felt very calm and not crowded at all, which made the experience even better. 💡 From my experience: · Renting a motorbike is the easiest way to explore the island · The full loop around Ternate only takes around 1–2 hours · Sunset spots are everywhere, but the west side of the island gives the best view · Try to go in the late afternoon so you can enjoy both daylight views and sunset Ternate might not be as well-known as other destinations in Indonesia, but that’s exactly what makes it special. It still feels quiet, natural, and less developed compared to more popular places. If you’re looking for somewhere different for your next trip, this is definitely worth considering. #springtravel #Indonesia #Ternate #Maluku #nature #island #IslandTravel #HiddenGem #BeachView #Sunset #TravelSG #TripMoments
Located near Masjid Nabawi, Masjid Al-Ghamamah marks the place where the Prophet ﷺ performed the prayer for rain, a symbol of mercy and hope. Just nearby, Masjid Abu Bakr As-Siddiq stands as a reminder of the leadership and devotion of the first Caliph, who once led the Eid prayer here. Simple in design yet rich in history, both mosques offer a quiet space for reflection, away from the crowds — a gentle reminder of faith, humility, and the legacy of Islam in Madinah. 🌿🤍 #discoversaudimoment

If you happen to have plans to travel to Ternate Island, North Maluku, Indonesia here are 3 places i recommended to visit! Jikomalamo Beach. Clean beaches with unspoiled coral reefs, lots of colorful fish. A great place for snorkeling and diving. The water is very clear. The boat that was leaning on the pier just looked like it was floating because the water was so clear. Hol Sulamadaha. The place is quiet, with very beautiful combination of island, mountain and sea views. You can snorkel, play boats, relax sitting on a buoy, or just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere while enjoying hot boiled noodles. Tolire Lake. A brilliantly volcanic lake, Tolire Lake is set in a crater at the foot of Mount Gamalama. Beside popular for its beautiful scenery, Lake Tolire is also filled with various local myths, and become one the attractions for tourists to come to visit the lake. #summervacation#beachvacation
