Launching September 2018, AYANA Hotel will set sail to the world’s largest specially built phinisi called AYANA Lako di’a.

The 54-metre vessel has a 34-metre high mast and the ship will sail through the azure waters of the Komodo Islands – only a one-hour flight from Bali.

Fitted with just nine bedrooms, the luxury AYANA Lako di’a will offer a variety of two-, three- or five-night cruises, and will also be available for private charter. It also features a 10-metre long hull, that provides “ample space for elegant celebrations”.

Accommodating up to 18 guests, each spacious cabin offers an ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning, luxury linens, quality hand-crafted furnishings, and all the signature amenities one would expect from AYANA.

There are three styles of Suite onboard – the Master Suite on the Top Deck, along with Luxury and Deluxe suites.

“AYANA Lako di’a presents an elegant live-aboard sailing experience to enhance your Komodo Island resort holiday or corporate event with luxury accommodation, bespoke activities and signature dining,” AYANA’s website boasts.
