Set sail around the islands of Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, Ambon or the Spice Islands aboard a former British Naval Explorer, now an upscale expedition-class yacht. Taking you further afield without losing any of the comforts of a luxury hotel, Aqua Blu is a five-deck, 15-suite cruise ship, perfectly designed to navigate East Indonesia’s islands. Quantum Zero Speed stabilisers maintain a high level of comfort, whatever the conditions, meaning you can take a dip in the jacuzzi, practise your sun salutations, or enjoy a massage in the spa in peace.
The 15 individually-designed sea-facing suites are spread across four decks and include three cabin types. Each is elegantly sophisticated, with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in showers, a refined palette of neutrals, brass fittings, parquet flooring, and vintage maps of the Spice Islands. Large windows allow you to soak in the view from your cabin, but the real pleasure comes from experiencing the ocean and the islands up close, whether snorkelling through the tropical reef, encountering ancient island cultures, or paddle boarding across a glass-like sea.
This charming beachfront hotel is just a ten-minute drive from the buzz of Senggigi but is an oasis of calm thanks to its elegantly pared-back design and dramatic sea views.
From the moment you step foot into the lobby of the Tugu, a 100-year-old carved wooden house featuring Malay, Chinese, and colonial antiques, you enter an undeniably Indonesian haven.
Balancing sophistication with laid back charm, the Legian sits slightly apart from the boutiques and restaurants of Seminyak, adding a sense of peaceful tranquillity to the exclusivity.
Entering the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan marks a clear point between the real world and pure, immersive relaxation.
