The award-winning AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach has opened for bookings onboard its luxury phinisi, AYANA Laki di’a, for unforgettable sailing adventures.

Accommodating up to 14 guests, AYANA Lako di’a showcases an inspired blend of contemporary elegance and traditional South Sulawesi boatbuilding techniques in its unique design, which reflects the rustic beauty of Flores Island.

One of the largest luxury vessels in Western Flores, accommodation is offered in nine ultra-modern air-conditioned suites with ensuite bathrooms. The ship also features a living room, lounge, bar, an indoor dining area and daybeds on the main deck.

Cruise fares include full-board meals, free-flowing mineral water, and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, along with activities like snorkelling, kayaking, and yoga. They also include Komodo National Park entrance fees, transfers to and from Komodo International Airport, and digital documentation.

The elegantly appointed 69sqm Master Suite features a king-sized bed, private balcony, and an ocean view bathtub. Families or groups can opt for six Luxury Suites on the middle deck, each 20sqm with twin or double beds, private balconies, and stunning ocean views.

Guests can experience the best of Komodo National Park on a carefully crafted two-day voyage featuring stunning marine and land excursions alongside relaxation. Departing at 4pm, the journey begins at Kalong Island, where guests can watch thousands of fruit bats fill the sunset sky before enjoying a dinner under the stars. On the second day, highlights include a 90-minute hike on Padar Island for breathtaking views, a visit to the unique Pink Beach, and a guided tour on Komodo Island to see the iconic Komodo dragon and diverse wildlife.

Guests seeking the ultimate indulgence can stay in the elegantly appointed 69sqm Master Suite which boasts a king-sized bed, private balcony, ocean view bathtub and walk-in-wardrobe.
