Kosrae island is situated in Micronesia. The State of Kosrae is one of four states of the Federated States of Micronesia.

Kosrae is a high island that is largely unspoiled, as it is off the regular tourist routes. Kosrae is becoming a destination for scuba divers and hikers. Dense vegetation and steep mountains keep the island largely undeveloped.

Viewed from the sea, the island's distinct shape resembles a female body. This has led to the island being called "the island of the sleeping lady."
