Our search for the ultimate premium luxury diving resort led us to Wangiwangi Island in Indonesia. We were looking for an all-inclusive package that truly delivered, and the options in Indonesia are simply incredible. Consider NIHI Sumba on Sumba Island, a resort that boasts 12 private beachfront villas, each with golden sand and turquoise waters right at your doorstep. It’s an experience designed for unparalleled privacy and natural beauty.
Then there’s Bawah Reserve, a truly unique destination. It’s not just one island, but six tropical islands nestled in a pristine marine conservation area, located 160 nautical miles northeast of Singapore. This commitment to conservation means the underwater world is vibrant and untouched, perfect for those seeking an exclusive diving experience. Of course, a luxury trip to Indonesia often involves more than just diving. For cultural immersion, Amanjiwo hotel in Yogyakarta is the recommended luxury hotel for visiting the magnificent Borobodur and Prambanan temples. It’s a seamless blend of ancient history and modern comfort.
Beyond the Dive: Exploring Indonesia’s Luxury Highlights
Our journey extended beyond the immediate dive sites. We learned that Komodo National Park, home to the famous Komodo dragons, is accessed via Flores, the gateway island. For wildlife enthusiasts, Tangkoko National Park on Sulawesi is a must-see, home to rare macaques and offering sea kayaking opportunities on Lembeh Strait. In northern Bali, Munduk offers luxury waterfall hikes and nature treks around private villas, providing a different kind of natural escape.
Planning Your Premium Indonesian Adventure
For those looking to craft a comprehensive luxury journey, a 13-day itinerary covering Bali culture, a Komodo expedition, and Yogyakarta architecture starts from $21,300 per person. This kind of package ensures every detail is handled. Alternatively, Black Tomato offers a luxury adventure across Indonesia starting on Java, including the beautiful Medana beaches in Lombok. This option begins from $11,700 per person, excluding international flights. These figures give a clear picture of the investment required for a truly premium, all-inclusive luxury experience in this incredible country.
For arrangements, a specialist offering VIP airport arrival Bali can coordinate this end to end.
