Take to the seas of East Indonesia aboard a 34m traditional Phinisi schooner, exploring the dazzling marine parks and untouched islands of this remote region in classic seafaring style. Charting a course around the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, it offers the potential, depending on the route, to dive around Banda, search out dragons in Komodo or snorkel with giant manta rays as they glide over the coral gardens of Raja Ampat. Kayaking, snorkelling, wakeboarding, and trekking bring you closer to the wildlife and natural splendour of both the land and the sea.
Life onboard is equally as enjoyable – enjoy a sundowner on the sundeck, a beach barbeque under the stars, or simply read a book on a beanbag as the ever-changing scenery glides by. The five cosy cabins are thoughtfully appointed with traditional textiles and warm wood walls. An ensuite shower room and air conditioning add modern conveniences without detracting from the charm of the cabin.
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.
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.
