The Asia Islands (Indonesian: Kepulauan Asia) are a group of three small islands in the open sea north of the Raja Ampat Archipelago of eastern Indonesia. They are located 117 kilometres (73 mi) north of the island of Waigeo, around 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of the last of the Ayu Islands (both in the Raja Ampat Achipelago), and 210 kilometres (130 mi) south of the island of Tobi in Palau. The individual islands (in descending order of size, and running from north to south) are known as Fani, Igi and Miarin. On the largest island of Fani, there is a pier and a small settlement, intermittently inhabited by visitors from Reni Island and Rutum Island to the south. Administratively the Asia Islands are part of the Ayau Islands (Kepulauan Ayau) District of the Raja Ampat Regency of the province of Southwest Papua.
