(Luxurious option details page) Spice Islands Adventure on a boutique phinisi


On this luxurious option, there are two cabin types to choose from: one exclusive Master suite or classic cabins. All rooms have its own ensuite bathroom.

The singular, exclusive Master suite serves as a perfect retreat for couples seeking the ideal romantic escape. This remarkable suite covers a vast area of 60 square meters and encompasses an overwater lounge, offering sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and affording you a private space comparable to the size of a typical apartment.

The living area includes a sofa that easily transforms into an extra bed, accommodating an additional guest if needed. You can also indulge in spa treatments or private dining within the comfort and seclusion of your own room.
This suite incorporates the finest materials including exotic woods, handcrafted Balinese decorations, and a one-of-a-kind bathroom sink made of Javanese yellow marble.

If you choose the classic cabin, please note that each cabin differs slightly in size and layout and are randomly assigned to attendees.

On this luxurious yacht, you can choose from the following two packages:
A) 4 spa treatments of your choice OR
B) 2 spa treatments of your choice + 4 scuba dives

The Spice Island area is only suitable for sailing from late September to November due to adverse weather conditions during other months. This upcoming trip is our sole opportunity in the entirety of 2024 to embark on this adventure. Additionally, securing a charter for a boutique yacht proves highly challenging, often being fully booked over a year in advance. To reserve your spot for this exclusive journey, a 30% deposit is required by October 25th, 2023. Failing to meet this deadline will result in the yacht company releasing our booking to other eager clients, given the high demand for charter slots on these boutique yachts. Sign up now!

Recommendation
Consider choosing this option if you value:

  • A highly personalized experience:
    Choose your spa treatments, diving sessions and culinary preferences

  • A top quality phinisi: you will NOT regret it!

If both dates work for you, it’s best to RSVP both signup pages first to maximize the chances of the trip happening.

If you are currently based in the US or Europe, you may want to consider joining my Japan trip, which coincides with the same period as the Spice Island journey. This combined adventure would create a comprehensive two-week East Asia trip, optimizing the value of your airfare and time. Please email me for the Japan trip details.
