Top things to do

The overwater restaurant at La Pauta is Derawan's best. Sit inside, or out on the breezy veranda overlooking the main dock. The speciality is local seafood, but all the Indonesian staples are on the menu.

Nur's serves up tasty Indonesian favourites with creative twists such as shrimp and coconut aubergine with rice, or fried tempe with green beans.

This simple warung is popular for wonderfully prepared fresh seafood – the fried fish and grilled prawns are to die for, as is the avocado juice.
