Sabalana Islands

The Sabalana Islands (Kepulauan Sabalana) are an atoll in the Flores Sea in Indonesia, lying just north of the Lesser Sunda Islands, closer to Sumbawa than Sulawesi. They are west of Tanahjampea Island and north-east of the Tengah Islands (Central Islands). Administratively, the atoll belongs to the province of South Sulawesi. The total area, including the large lagoon, is 2694 km2, making Sabalana one of the largest atolls by total area. The land area of the largest individual island, Pulau Sabalana, measures about 7 km2, followed by Pulau Banawaja with 3 km2 and Pulau Sabaru with 1.4 km2.

The Sabalana Islands were formerly known as the Postillon Islands.

The individual islets are listed, clockwise from the northernmost to the southernmost (the western rim of the atoll is free of islets):
