Damar Island (Indonesian: Pulau Damar) is a small volcanic island in the Barat Daya Islands group in Indonesia’s Maluku province, on the southern side of the Banda Sea.
Damar is about 20 km long by 18 km wide. It lies about 125 km east of Romang and 200 km east of Wetar. The northern part of the island has been largely cleared for dryland farming of coconuts, cashews, coffee beans, cocoa beans, cloves and nutmegs, while the southern part is still mainly forested. Habitation is concentrated in the north and east; most islanders are farmers or fishers. The highest point of the island is 868 m Mount Wurlali, an andesitic stratovolcano.
