Indonesia: The Coastal Passage

Indonesia is not ‘one country’ in the conventional sense. It is a maritime civilisation held together by water: seventeen thousand islands and three hundred languages, where for most of its history the only road between two places was the sea.

Your 10-night journey begins and ends in Bali, taking in Komodo National Park and the Nusa Tenggara islands in between. Two nights at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay to help you settle in after your journey, five nights aboard the Amandira, a two-masted, fully staffed Phinisi, and concludes with two nights at Amandari in Ubud.

The expedition at sea is chartered exclusively for you, and runs on the captain's reading of the sea, with the planned schedule providing only an estimate of the journey. This may include spotting dragons on Rinca, drift dives where the current concentrates the fish into walls, or swimming off a sand atoll with open water in every direction. Expedition itineraries are tailored to suit personal preference.

Designed for travellers seeking slow travel, disconnection, and who almost need to be forced to relax.

Signature Moments

I Dragons on Rinca

A ranger-led walk on Rinca Island offers the chance to encounter Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Reaching up to three metres in length, the world's largest lizards roam the same dry landscape as deer and water buffalo.

II The ridge at Padar

A short, steep climb from the anchorage to the top of Padar Island, where three bays are divided by knife-edge ridgelines running down to the water. It is the most photographed view in Komodo and one that is better in person than in the picture. Well worth the climb.

III The drifts at Gili Lawa

Crystal Rock, Castle Rock and the Shotgun are among Komodo's best-known dive sites, known for strong currents and abundant marine life. The dive programme is tailored to experience levels, while snorkellers can explore calmer reef systems nearby. Later in the day, a short hike on Gili Lawa Darat offers views across the national park towards Sumbawa and the active Sangeang volcano.

Day 1 . Jimbaran Bay

A day to recalibrate

Day Entirely at leisure Today there is nothing scheduled. The pool, the beach, a Balinese massage at the spa, a yoga session if you want one, or the villa and its infinity pool. This day exists to clear the long the journey out of your system before the expedition starts.

Overnight: Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

Decompression is the only item on the agenda.

Day 2 . Embarkation

Bali behind you, the sea ahead

AM Fly to Labuan Bajo Transfer to your morning flight to Labuan Bajo on the western tip of Flores. Approximately one hour in the air during which Bali's terraced green gives way to dry volcanic ridgeline.

PM Aboard Amandira, your private yacht The crew welcomes you aboard the Phinisi and the Cruise Director runs through the days ahead. The vessel departs for Sabayor. You will be served lunch on deck as the port disappears behind you, and enjoy your first dive on the reef that afternoon.

Overnight: Amandira

Lunch on deck, the harbour shrinking behind the wake.

Day 3 . Gili Lawa

Dive and climb

AM The celebrated dive sites North to Gili Lawa Laut and the celebrated sites: Crystal Rock, Castle Rock, the Shotgun. The dive master coordinates the day around water conditions and your diving experience.

PM Sunset ridge at Gili Lawa Darat The vessel sails to Gili Lawa Darat for the night. Once anchored, you have the option for a short climb to a ridge with an unobstructed view across the park as the sun drops behind Sumbawa, with the silhouette of the active Sangeang volcano on the horizon.

Overnight: Amandira

Amandira anchored for the night

Day 4 . Batu Balong

Underwater marvels and time on the beach

AM Two contrasting sites In the morning, cruise south into the centre of the park to visit two unique underwater sites. Batu Balong is a submerged pinnacle rising from deep water, its walls thick with soft coral, reef sharks and turtles swimming with the current. Siaba Besar is shallower and more colourful, easy water for snorkelling and a long unhurried swim.

PM Beach setup Enjoy a beach setup in the afternoon, the vessel at anchor offshore.

Overnight: Amandira

Deep dive reef exploration

Day 5 . Rinca & Padar

Dragons in the morning, a panoramic view by midday

AM Rinca on foot We rise early and tender to Rinca for a ranger-led trek through Loh Buaya, where Komodo dragons move in great numbers across the dry ground. Look out for buffalo, deer and monkeys too.

Midday The Padar ridge Returning to the boat, then a cruise to Padar and the short steep climb to its ridge, the most famous viewpoint in the national park. Three coloured bays split by sharp ridgelines.

Overnight: Amandira

View from Padar

Day 6 . Pulau Makassar

Turtles, a sand atoll, the last sunset afloat

AM Turtle dive The final full day at sea opens with a turtle dive in the centre of the park. Green and hawksbill turtle sightings are reliable through the clear water.

PM Lunch on the atoll Lunch on Pulau Makassar, a low strip of white sand surrounded by open seas on all sides. The afternoon is unhurried, allowing time to soak up the sun and privacy of the atoll before your final night aboard the Amandira.

Overnight: Amandira

Setup on a private sandy atoll

Day 7 . Sea to Highlands

Off the water and up into Ubud

AM Disembark and fly to Bali Start the day with a final breakfast aboard Amandira as it returns to Labuan Bajo. Disembark, flight transfer back to Bali, then car transfer inland to Amandari, around 75 to 90 minutes through coastal plains giving way to rice terraces and river valleys.

Overnight: Amandari, Ubud

Rice terrace in the Ayung gorge

Day 8 . Ubud

Inland highlands

Day Active or contemplative, your call Walk the Ayung valley rice terraces with a guide, visit the Agung Rai or Blanco Renaissance museums, reach the Ubud market before the crowds, or sit in a private textile dyeing ‘batik’ class. As an alternative, implant yourself into Amandari and access the wellness facilities or the infinity pool overlooking the gorge.

Evening The last dinner Amandari has two dining options – The Restaurant, serving seasonal Indonesian and international cuisines, and the Terrace Bar, ideal for light meals, all day-refreshments and evening cigar and cocktails. Our recommendation is to bookend dinner with a visit to the Terrace Bar.

Overnight: Amandari, Ubud

Hindu-Balinese highlands

Accommodation

Three places, in one deliberate order.

Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay villa bathroom

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay The arrival · 2 nights

A traditional Balinese village in layout, private hillside villas terraced into the slope above Jimbaran Bay, about 20 minutes from the airport. Chosen for its peacefulness and sea-facing aspect to help you decompress as you prepare for your voyage at sea.

Villa Premier Ocean Villa. 190 sqm (2,045 sqft). Discreet thatched-roof sanctuary inspired by a traditional Balinese courtyard house. Gaze over the ocean from your private infinity pool. King or two twin beds. Indoor and outdoor showers, large soaking tub.

Amandira The expedition · 5 nights

Amandira is Aman’s custom-built, two-masted Phinisi sailing and diving vessel with five spacious cabins and a crew of 14. She is built the way Konjo boats have always been built, and she moves the way they always have: reading wind, current and conditions rather than powering through them. Crew includes a private chef, dive master, spa therapist and experienced guides, five air-conditioned cabins, and is chartered to you alone. Your cabin sits in the stern above the waterline with unobstructed sea views from your private terrace.

Cabin Master Cabin. Located at the stern. King bed, lounge area, writing desk, ensuite with shower, separate toilet and twin vanities.

Amandari, Ubud The return · 2 nights

Built into the hillside above the Ayung River gorge, Amandari blends into its natural setting, with freestanding suites and pathways that feel at one with the landscape. Opened in 1989 as one of Aman's earliest properties, it is where the brand's build-into-the-setting approach began. The Pool Villa is a 265 square metre walled compound with a plunge pool, teak interiors and a sunken marble bath open to the sky.

Suite Pool Suite. 265 sqm (2,852 sqft). Eight-metre private swimming pool with daybeds, garden and outdoor living areas, king-size bed and living and dining spaces with writing desk. Marble bathroom with sunken tub, twin vanity, rain shower and separate dressing areas.

Optional Enhancements

Onboard wellness programme

The ship's spa therapist builds a wellness program across the five sea days: massages, yoga on the sundeck, a bespoke menu from the private chef. Arranged with the Cruise Director in advance.

Extended expedition

The Komodo voyage can be extended from five nights to seven, reaching further into the eastern archipelago. Subject to Amandira's seasonal schedule and availability.

Pricing From USD $160,000 Indicative pricing for two guests. Includes two nights at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay in a Premier Ocean Villa, a full five-night private charter of Amandira in the Master Cabin, two nights at Amandari in a Pool Suite, internal flights between Bali and Labuan Bajo, all private transfers, the curated programme throughout, and all permits and Komodo National Park conservation fees. Amandira is chartered as a whole vessel, so for groups of four or more the per-person value rises considerably across the five cabins. International flights are not included. Enquire Now Final pricing confirmed at time of booking and tailored to dates, suite selection and any enhancements. The expedition runs in the dry season only and the vessel books on a fixed seasonal rotation; early confirmation is strongly recommended.

Before You Book

Best Time to Travel

April to October only. Amandira does not operate in Komodo for the wet season from November to March. May to August is the peak window, with southeast trade winds and underwater visibility frequently beyond 20 metres; September and October hold the same water clarity with fewer boats in the park.

Planning Your Trip

Amandira is a full private charter for up to ten guests across five cabins, on a fixed seasonal rotation, so dates need committing rather than holding, especially June to August when demand is highest. The strongest dive sites, Crystal Rock, Castle Rock and the Shotgun, involve drift diving and suit guests with some prior experience, though the dive master tailors every day to ability and snorkellers are equally well served throughout.
