Fakfak, Administrative region in West Papua, Indonesia
The district spans 14,320 square kilometers of varied terrain, from coastal areas to mountains reaching 2,000 meters in elevation, divided into 17 districts.
The Dutch colonial administration established a settlement in 1898, transforming the former port town known as Kapaur into a regional administrative center.
The philosophy of Satu Tungku Tiga Batu guides the harmonious coexistence of Muslims, Catholics, and Protestants throughout the region of Fakfak.
Visitors can reach Fakfak through its airport, with local transportation available to explore beaches, waterfalls, and archaeological sites across the region.
The region contains numerous nutmeg palm groves that have influenced its economic development and earned it the designation as Indonesia's Nutmeg City.
