The Selayar Islands Regency (Selayar: Silàjara Selayar pronunciation: [siˈlaɟara], Makasar: ᨔᨗᨒᨐᨑ, romanized: Silàyara’, Makasar pronunciation: [siˈlajaraʔ]) is a regency of Indonesia in South Sulawesi province that covers the Selayar Islands, which lie southeast of the southern peninsula of Sulawesi. The archipelago consists of the group's main island (Selayar Island), which is surrounded by 41 smaller islands around its coast; further to the southeast lies a widespread group of islands, including the smaller but still substantial islands of Pasimassunggu, Pasimarannu and Pasilambena in the far south, and the huge atoll of Takabonerate (itself containing 28 named islands). The regency covers an area of 1,357.03 km2, and had a population of 103,596 at the 2000 Census, 122,055 at the Census of 2010[2] and 137,071 as of 2020.[3] The official estimate for mid 2023 was 142,100 (comprising 69,907 males and 72,193 females).[1] The administrative centre is the town of Benteng on Selayar Island. The Selayar Straits separate the regency from Sulawesi island.
