AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach and AYANA Cruises have unveiled an extraordinary new travel experience that blends the serenity of a five-star resort with the excitement of a private luxury cruise. The Sail & Stay: A Luxury Retreat package is designed for discerning travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure, offering a seamless journey through the world-famous Komodo National Park.
This exclusive offering positions itself as one of the most innovative luxury travel experiences in Indonesia, bringing together the comfort of a coastal resort and the allure of a traditional phinisi yacht reimagined with modern sophistication.
The AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach Resort
Nestled along the unspoiled coastline of Waecicu Beach, the resort is the first and only five-star property on Flores Island, serving as a gateway to the Komodo Islands. Guests can enjoy spacious ocean-view rooms, an infinity pool with breathtaking panoramas, and world-class dining venues.
The resort’s architecture and design pay tribute to the surrounding natural beauty, seamlessly integrating contemporary elegance with Indonesian cultural elements. With pristine beaches at its doorstep and sweeping views of the Flores Sea, the resort provides an ideal starting point for the Sail & Stay experience.
Setting Sail with AYANA Cruises
Following a rejuvenating resort stay, guests step aboard AYANA Lako Di’a, a hand-crafted luxury phinisi that offers the charm of Indonesia’s maritime tradition combined with modern indulgence. Each suite on the yacht is designed for maximum comfort, featuring spacious interiors and elegant décor.
While sailing through the turquoise waters of Komodo National Park, guests are treated to the highest standards of hospitality, including gourmet dining and personalized service. The yacht is equipped with all the luxuries of a boutique hotel, ensuring that every moment on board is as unforgettable as the destinations it explores.
Immersive Itinerary Options
The Sail & Stay package offers carefully curated itineraries that capture the essence of Komodo’s natural wonders:
- Day 1: The journey begins with a visit to Kalong Island, famous for its dramatic sunsets as thousands of flying foxes take to the sky at dusk.
- Day 2: Guests wake up to the awe-inspiring beauty of Padar Island, where a short hike rewards them with panoramic views of the rugged terrain. The yacht then sails to Pink Beach, one of only seven pink-sand beaches in the world, where snorkeling reveals vibrant coral reefs. The highlight of the adventure comes with a guided excursion to Komodo Island itself, home to the legendary Komodo dragon.
This combination of relaxation, exploration, and wildlife encounters makes the experience ideal for both nature enthusiasts and luxury travelers.
