The Komodo Islands are a beautiful destination for people seeking a new adventure amongst the sun, stunning scenery and flourishing wildlife.
Located in the wildly beautiful Lesser Sunda Islands, Komodo National Park in Indonesia is a mystical arcadia encompassing the three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar, alongside 20 smaller islands. The destination is welcoming new direct flights from various Asian countries this month.
Although visitors come all year round, its current dry season is the ideal time to visit. The region’s entire ecosystem is at its peak, as the monsoons of the earlier months induce the island’s lush, tropical greenery and thriving wildlife. Due to its unique geology resulting from volcanic activity, Komodo National Park offers stunning, otherworldly scenery both above and below land.
Additionally, the throngs of summer tourists dissipate, offering even greater visibility to the untouched landscape.
The famous Komodo Dragons, the world’s largest reptiles, freely roam across the island’s rugged, volcanic slopes. Other terrestrial fauna such as wild water buffalos, horses and exotic tropical birds inhabit the prehistoric landscapes.
The dry season also offers the best conditions for visitors to witness the most abundant marine ecosystem on the planet. Whales, turtles and manta rays flit in the sparkling oceans. Over 1,000 tropical fish dart amongst the numerous vibrant gardens of rare coral.
As there is little to no accommodation in Komodo National Park, the best way to experience the environment’s exotic beauty is on the water. The Mutiara Laut is a 46 metre classic two mast schooner, with seven luxury cabins adorned in warm teak wood. It offers both indoor and outdoor dining lounge spaces, allowing ample space for guests to relax and experience the natural sanctity of Komodo, all the while enjoying a luxury-level service and setting. One stand out point on a stay aboard Mutiara Laut is the dedicated and experienced crew, who share their passion and expertise, and ensure guests have the most memorable experience.
Its itinerary includes a wander amongst the Komodo dragons, and access to secluded beaches where guests can walk along golden sands and snorkel or dive in crystal waters.
Replete with five star amenities and chef’s cuisine, it is the perfect combination of luxury and adventure where guests can encounter an authentic connection to nature like never before.
