Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Lamima. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Baru kembali dari Lamima setelah 4 hari sailing dari Labuan Bajo ke Gili Lawa, dan honestly, this is next-level. The teak deck alone? So warm and timeless. Saya dan istri naik untuk anniversary, dan crew langsung prepare private dinner di deck – candlelight, violin player, the whole thing. Padar Island hike? Challenging but so rewarding, pemandangan dari atas bikin speechless. Snorkeling di Kalong Island juga mind-blowing – manta rays everywhere! Satu improvement: lebih banyak shaded area di upper deck siang hari. Tapi overall, Lamima delivers on every promise. Service is discreet yet attentive. This is Indonesian hospitality at its finest – elegant, humble, unforgettable.

As an avid diver and luxury traveler, I’ve long sought a balance between raw nature and refined comfort. Lamima delivers both in equal measure. Sailing through Komodo National Park felt like traversing ancient maps—uncharted, alive. At Kalong Island, we kayaked into the mangroves as dusk painted the sky, then watched the bat exodus from the sun deck with gin tonics in hand. Pink Beach dazzled, yes, but it was the quiet moments aboard that linger: reading in the library nook, sipping single-origin coffee as the yacht glided toward Rinca. The seven cabins are spacious, each with a distinct elegance. My only note: the sound insulation between suites could be improved—laughter from the game room carried late one night. But that’s a small trade for such vibrant energy. Lamima is more than a yacht; it’s a portal to a rarer kind of journey.

选择Lamima进行为期四天的wellness retreat,是今年最温柔的决定。我和伴侣刚结束一轮创业融资,急需抽离。从登船那一刻起,船上的香氛、轻音乐和赤足服务就营造出一种近乎冥想的氛围。我们在Rinca Island短途徒步后,回到船上享受双人芳香按摩,技师手法专业,力道拿捏得刚好。最惊艳的是Nusa Kode的夜间浮潜,穿上保暖衣漂在磷光微闪的海面,仿佛悬浮宇宙——这种experience很难用语言描述。Lamima的浴室备有Bamford toiletries,床品是高支棉,细节处处体现质感。唯一的小建议是,若能增加一节船上瑜伽或呼吸工作坊,会更契合wellness主题。Gili Lawa的浮潜点鱼群密集,但水流稍急,初学者可能需要更多指导。整体itinerary节奏舒缓,适合真正想reset的人。回程时,我发现自己连续几天没有看手机,这才是真正的奢侈。

I came for the diving, stayed for the stillness. Lamima’s movement through the straits—smooth, almost silent—made the ocean feel intimate. Our group dove Castle Rock at first light; the thermocline hit at 18 meters, a visible shiver in the water where pelagics begin to gather. I counted seven grey reefs in one pass. But equally profound were the quiet moments: a solo kayak paddle at dusk near Sebayur, the only sound the dip of the paddle and distant dolphin clicks. The yacht’s lighting—soft amber at night—preserved night vision and mood. My cabin’s ventilation system kept the heat at bay without noisy AC. The galley served a remarkable smoked jackfruit curry, clearly made for those who notice texture. One note: the dive guide schedule could be more transparent—missed a night dive due to confusion. But the apology came with a private bioluminescence tour in a tender the next evening. That’s the Lamima way: not perfect, but profoundly attentive.

Celebrating ten years with my partner on Lamima was exquisite. From the first greeting—a cool pandan drink and a knowing smile from the butler—we were swept into elegance. Our private dinner on Padar Island, with torches lining the beach and Komodo dragons faintly audible in the distance, was pure magic. Snorkeling at Crystal Rock, we held hands as reef fish darted through coral cathedrals. The suite’s canopied bed, open to the stars, made every night feel cinematic. The only suggestion? More vegan dessert options—though the chef improvised beautifully. Lamima doesn’t just host anniversaries; it honors them. In a world of fleeting experiences, this was timeless—a love story mirrored by sea and sky.

I boarded Lamima seeking stillness—and found it in the lap of elegance. This was my solo wellness retreat, a deliberate pause between chapters. The yacht’s rhythm—gentle wakes, soft linen, silent sails—became a form of meditation. Mornings began with yoga on the upper deck as we anchored near Gili Lawa, the mountains rising like sentinels from the sea. One afternoon, after a deep dive among reef sharks, I surrendered to a Balinese massage in my suite, the ocean breeze sliding through open teak shutters. The food was clean, vibrant—think turmeric broths, coconut poached fish—tailored to my reset. The only moment that pulled me from serenity? A slightly delayed tender to Rinca Island. But even that became part of the lesson: surrender to the pace of nature. Lamima isn’t just a vessel; it’s a philosophy in motion.

As a solo traveler seeking depth, not just views, Lamima exceeded every expectation. The yacht’s rhythm—gentle wakes, soft teak underfoot, the occasional cry of a frigatebird—became my meditation. At Manta Point, I floated for nearly an hour, mesmerized by their silent ballet. Later, a guided hike on Rinca Island revealed dragons lounging like ancient sentinels. The library nook, with its Indonesian art books and quiet corner, became my refuge. The crew respected my solitude but were never absent when needed—offering a cold towel, a perfectly timed espresso. My only note? The shower’s water pressure dipped once. But that’s negligible. Lamima isn’t just luxurious; it’s intuitive. It understands that true luxury is space—space to think, to feel, to be.

كانت تجربتي مع لاميمة مختلفة تمامًا عن أي رحلة تصوير سابقة. باعتباري مصوّرة طبيعة، أبحث دومًا عن توازن بين الراحة والوصول إلى أماكن نائية — ولاميمة قدمت هذا بالضبط. بدأنا من تاكا ماكاسار، حيث وفر الطاقم وقتًا كافيًا لالتقاط drone shot خلال المد المنخفض، وكانت المشاهد لا تُصدّق. اليوم التالي في نوسا كود كان مثاليًا لالتقاط التكوينات الصخرية عند الغسق. الكابينة الـ master suite كانت هادئة ومصممة بذوق رفيع، مع إطلالة بانورامية ساعدتني على التخطيط لكل لقطة من السرير! الوحيدة التي شعرت بحاجتها هي تحسين إشارة wifi — لا لأجل التواصل، بل لتنزيل ملفاتي الكبيرة بسهولة. حتى ذلك لم يُعقّد من عملي كثيرًا. الـ itinerary كان موزونًا: لم نتسرّع، لكن لم نهدر لحظة. كم أتمنى لو بقينا يومًا إضافيًا في بادار أيلاند، خاصة أنّ الطاقم يعرف بالضبط أفضل زوايا التصوير. كل شيء على متن لاميمة يُشعرك أنّك في قمة الامتياز، من تفاصيل الخشب الطبيعي إلى دقة الخدمة التي لا تُسمَع، بل تُقدّر. بالتأكيد سأُكرّر، وربما مع فريق تصوير كامل.

Our six-person dive group charted Lamima for a week, and I’ve yet to see a liveaboard so seamlessly merge traditional phinisi craftsmanship with technical readiness. The dive deck was impeccably organized—tanks staged, rinse tanks oversized, and a separate gear storage area kept everything dry. From Castle Rock, we did a strong drift over volcanic ridges teeming with bumphead parrotfish and white-tip reef sharks. The dive team knew the tides like clockwork. What surprised me was how spacious the common areas felt despite full occupancy. Evenings were spent on the upper deck, reviewing shots from the day—my wide-angle manta sequence from Sebayur would’ve been impossible without the stable platform and expert spotting. Food leaned toward Indonesian-European fusion; the spiced tuna tartare stood out. One small gripe: the compressors occasionally cycled off mid-day, delaying back-to-back dives. But honestly, that extra hour with a book in the shade wasn’t a loss. Lamima treats divers like peers, not passengers.
