Destination: Sumbawa
Each day aboard our luxury yacht, ALEXA, begins with serene mornings. The sky shifts from deep blue to vibrant oranges, pinks, and yellows. As the golden light stretches across the horizon, the calm waters mirror these hues, while nearby volcanic ridges glow softly. Fresh sea air awakens the senses.
Mornings like these set the tone for Sumbawa charters ranging from 3 to 7 nights, with bespoke longer journeys available. Guests explore hidden coves inaccessible to larger vessels. The captain carefully tailors sailing times to coincide with whale shark movements, ensuring uninterrupted, intimate wildlife encounters.
Throughout, the attentive crew personalises every detail, adapting to sea conditions and guest preferences to ensure a seamless, five-star experience at sea.
Your Journey. Seamlessly Planned.
Sumbawa enchants visitors with a rare blend of dramatic volcanic peaks, lush forests, and pristine beaches. At the island’s heart, stands Mount Tambora, a popular trekking destination. Surrounding land features forests and savannahs, sheltering wild boars, colourful birds, and native species.
Pristine white-sand beaches like Jelenga and Maluk feature crystal-clear waters. They provide exceptional visibility, allowing divers and snorkellers to fully appreciate a vibrant underwater world.
Sumbawa is home to over 100 whale sharks. It offers reliable sightings year-round, with peak activity between May and November. These gentle giants have grown accustomed to humans.
They frequently gather near traditional fishing platforms called bagan, feeding on plankton and small fish. This behaviour draws them close to the surface. Guests enjoy long, intimate moments with these giants, with diving and snorkelling sessions lasting up to two hours.
Divers are delighted to swim with triggerfish, butterflyfish, blue-ringed octopus, clown frogfish, nudibranchs, reef sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, and deep-water tuna.
Sumbawa by Land and Sea
ALEXA is a 31-metre luxury yacht designed exclusively for two guests. Once a humble cargo boat, it was intentionally transformed into a modern oasis to foster intimacy, minimise distractions, and maximise comfort for couples.
A singular master cabin offers a queen-size bed dressed in the finest linens, an en-suite bathroom, and wraparound windows that provide panoramic 270-degree views of the sea. The interiors showcase antique art, soft silk rugs, and primitive sculptures reflecting Indonesia’s rich heritage. This thoughtful blend creates a warm and secluded ambience for couples to unwind together on customised luxury yacht charters in Indonesia.
Outside, the private aft balcony welcomes gentle sea breezes and sweeping vistas, perfect for watching the sunrise or sunset. The spacious foredeck features a large daybed for sunbathing or an open-air traditional massage. Guests can dine inside a cosy indoor lounge or on the upper deck beneath a blanket of stars, where meals become intimate celebrations amid the natural beauty.
Traditions Off the Map
ALEXA presents an exquisite selection of experiences that artfully balance exhilarating adventure with serene relaxation.
Guided Diving
The expert dive instructor knows Sumbawa’s best dive sites and timings and is familiar with local marine life. Guests receive top-of-the-line diving equipment and a waterproof camera to capture every unforgettable moment beneath the waves.
Customised Gourmet Dining
Dining aboard ALEXA rivals the finest gourmet restaurants, even far from land. The yacht’s fully stocked pantry carries premium ingredients sourced globally, ensuring every dish meets exacting standards. The chef specialises in seafood, expertly crafting exquisite international meals using the day’s freshest catch.
Another unforgettable highlight is a seafood BBQ on a pristine beach at sunset, where white cushions, antique rugs, flickering candlelight, and a warm bonfire create the perfect atmosphere for a romantic evening.
Fully Stocked Bar
Just as gourmet dining is an art aboard ALEXA, the bar is thoughtfully stocked with the finest wines and spirits from around the world to perfectly complement every meal. Each drink is carefully selected to enhance the experience, whether it is a glass of rich red paired with seafood or a refreshing cocktail enjoyed under the setting sun.
Guests can clink glasses in the privacy of their cabin, on the deck at sunset, or while sunbathing on a secluded beach. Guests only need to ask, and staff will serve every sip with care.
Wellness by the Water
As the yacht traverses tranquil waters, our award-winning therapists pamper guests with personalised spa therapies. Each treatment focuses on relieving tensions and targeting key muscle points built up from daily activities, enabling guests to fully relax and rejuvenate in between whale shark encounters.
Sensory Storytelling
The cruise director has intimate knowledge of the region and years of experience navigating these waters. They curate excursions to remote islands, tribal villages, waterfalls, and turtle beaches. Their deep connection to Indonesia’s culture and history brings a rare, personal perspective to every story. It transforms each journey into an immersive experience that transcends ordinary guided tours.
