With the excess of the holiday season behind us, you too might have the urge to sail away into serenity to help clear your mind and set your intentions for the year ahead. Allowing you to do that is Prana by Atzaró, the world’s biggest and most luxurious phinisi yacht in the world, a traditional Indonesian wood boat that was used to carry exotic spices, sandalwood and textiles through the ancient spice trading routes.
Brought into the 21st-century with tender loving care by Atzaró Group (the Ibiza-based five-star hospitality brand), all 900 square metres of Prana by Atzaró is dedicated to luxury, with its four beautiful decks, nine elegant suites, a rooftop yoga deck, an onboard spa, fine dining served al fresco, an extensive wine cellar, watersports centre, and even a cinema under the stars. All this, combined with a crew of 20 dedicated to your every need, and it’s sailing on a superlative level.
Sleeping up to 18 people, its suites serve up elevated rustic luxury mixed with all the mod-cons: think nautical designs, teak wood, muted tones and soft textures, along with sea views, deep beds, en-suites, rain showers and air-conditioning.
So, where to set sail for in 2024? Prana by Atzaró’s upcoming itineraries will take you to three incredible destinations around Indonesia, where passengers can witness the sheer prowess of Mother Nature. Starting with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park, you’ll sail around its three main islands - Komodo Island, Rinca Island and Padar Island – to see Komodo dragons, buffalos, monkeys and horses in their most beautiful natural habitat, as well as its incredible marine life under the waves.
The compass will also point towards Raja Ampat, where you’ll be immersed in the untouched beauty of its 1,500 islands, cays and shoals, and visit its prehistoric caves and primordial tribes. If you enjoy diving, you can spend time exploring one of its dive sites, known for having the most species recorded in one spot. And lastly, you can sail your way around The Spice Islands, Banda Islands or Maluku Islands, an east Indonesian archipelago. Here, volcanoes, palm-lined beaches and untouched rainforests await.
