Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Mega By Zada. 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.

As a photographer, I’m drawn to light, landscape, and authenticity—and Mega By Zada delivered all three in spades. The yacht’s wide decks offered unobstructed sunrise shots over Long Beach, where the sand turned molten gold. We anchored at Pink Beach midday, capturing the surreal coral-pink hue under soft cloud cover, then dined on ceviche as the crew launched a drone for aerial footage—a generous, unplanned gift. The cabins, while compact, were beautifully lit and efficiently designed. My only critique? More USB-C ports in the suite would be welcome for tech-heavy travelers like me. Still, the staff’s ease with my gear—offering dry storage, charging stations, even a stabilised platform for night shots—was exceptional. Mega By Zada feels less like a charter and more like a roving atelier for the senses. Every frame I captured tells the same story: beauty, unforced and alive.

Celebrei 15 anos de casamento a bordo do Mega By Zada, e mal consigo descrever o nível de conforto e discrição. O master suite é realmente impecável — cama king, linho egípcio, e o banheiro com chuveiro rain shower que transforma cada manhã em um spa moment. Navegamos de Rinca Island até Gili Lawa, onde fizemos snorkeling com tartarugas marinhas em águas cristalinas. O capitão nos levou a um spot secreto perto de Castle Rock, onde o drone shot do pôr do sol ficou épico. O serviço foi atencioso sem ser intrusivo, e a equipe antecipava cada desejo, como um espresso na proa ao amanhecer. A única coisa que faltou? Wi-Fi mais estável — útil para quem, como eu, precisa dar um ping no escritório. Mas foi um pequeno trade-off pela desconexão total. O chef surpreendeu com um jantar à beira-mar em Taka Makassar, toalhas brancas na areia, luz de velas… Simplesmente perfeito. Voltaria por mais dois dias, fácil.

Time on Mega By Zada didn’t feel counted, but lived. We arrived with a tangle of city nerves and left with a slower pulse. Komodo Island’s savannah landscape, dry and ancient, was humbling. We saw dragons up close—calm, reptilian, indifferent. Later, a snorkel at Gili Lawa revealed the other half of this world: fluid, electric, teeming. The yacht itself is a study in balance. Traditional lines, modern comforts. Our cabin had a reading nook with a view of the wake—perfect for early pages with tea. The crew’s timing was near psychic: towels appeared just as we surfaced, drinks before we asked. I’d have liked a stronger signal for emails—though, truthfully, that may have been the point. On our final morning, they brought breakfast to the foredeck. We ate as the sun lifted over Rinca. No rush. No noise. Just sea and sky, and a boat that felt like a quiet friend.

Como instrutora de yoga, selecionei o Mega By Zada para nosso wellness retreat com critério — e superou todas as expectativas. A energia a bordo é tranquila, mas sofisticada. As aulas de manhã no deck principal, com o mar batendo suave no casco, foram profundas. Em Rinca Island, fizemos uma caminhada guiada com contenção perfeita — o guia equilibrou educação ambiental e segurança com finesse. O sunset meditation em Castle Rock foi transcendental. Os quartos são serenos, com iluminação ajustável e aromaterapia incluída. Apenas um ponto: o Wi-Fi é limitado, mas, sinceramente, talvez seja parte do propósito. A equipe trouxe sucos detox personalizados após cada atividade, e o lounge no deck superior virou nosso espaço de compartilhamento. O nível de serviço é boutique, íntimo. Recomendo especialmente para grupos que buscam luxury com propósito. O verdadeiro soul reset.

Eşimle nerede başlayacağımızı bilmiyorum – belki de o sabah, Crystal Rock’un turkuaz sularında yüzerken, drone shot’larımı beklerken. 4 günlük honeymoon için Mega By Zada’yı seçtik ve neredeyse her beklentimizi aştı. 20.88 metrelik phinisi, sadece zarif değil, aynı zamanda oldukça functional. Master suite güverte üstünde, özel balkonu ve banyosuyla gerçekten private bir energy yaratıyor. Gili Lawa’ya sabah erken vardık, kıyıya çıkmadan önce biraz snorkelling yaptık – mercanlar çok daha canlıydı beklediğimden. Akşamüstü ise Bidadari Beach’teydik, orada sunsetting servis yapıldı, açıkçası bu detay çok etkiledi. Ekibin hospitality’si samimiydi ama fazla abartılı değildi, tam bir understated elegance. Tek küçük eksik; güverte alanındaki wifi biraz daha güçlü olsaydı, drone footage’ları anında yükleyebilirdim. Tabii, bu kadar remote bir environment’da fazla beklemek de gerçekçi değil. Padar Island’a tekneyle yaklaşırken manzara breath-taking’ydı – gerçekten bir photography expedition için ideal bir itinerary olur burası. Komodo National Park’ın bu köşesi, Mega By Zada ile keşfedildiğinde çok farklı bir dimension kazanıyor. Bir gün daha kalabilseydik… Ama belki de bu, tekrar dönmemiz için güzel bir neden.

지난주, 웰니스 리트릿을 위해 Mega By Zada에 올라탔다. 평소 도시 생활의 피로를 풀고 싶어 단 둘이서 조용한 시간을 보내고 싶었는데, 이 보트는 정말 perfect한 선택이었다. 총 4박 5일 일정 중 특히 Manjarite 해변과 Manta Point에서의 시간이 인상적이었다. Manjarite에선 해변 산책 후 요가 세션을 했고, 바람이 살랑살랑 불어오는 가운데 명상하는 건 마치 time stop 같은 느낌이 들 정도였다. Manta Point에선 스노클링으로 자연과 직접 소통했는데, 거대한 청소년 만타가 가까이 지나가는 장면은 drone shot으로 담아낼 걸 그랬다 싶을 정도로 압도적이었다. 객실은 master suite로 배정받았는데, 공간이 넉넉하고 자연 목재의 따뜻한 톤이 마음을 안정시켜 줬다. 조식 뷔페도 신선한 열대과일과 현지 요리가 골고루 포함돼 있었고, 스태프들의 배려가 곳곳에 묻어 있었다. 단지 유일한 아쉬움은 와이파이 신호가 약간 불안정해서 일부 구간에서 메신저 연결이 어려웠다는 점. 그래도 그 덕분에 휴대폰을 덜 만지게 된 건 오히려 긍정적이었다. 전체 itinerary는 숨 쉴 틈 없이 아름다웠고, 자연과 조화를 추구하는 이들에게는 진짜 hidden gem이다.

Choosing Mega By Zada for our honeymoon felt like a quiet rebellion against the usual tropes—no overwater bungalows, no crowds. Just two of us, six cabins, and a crew who knew when to appear. We woke at Gili Lawa to a private breakfast on the beach—pineapple, coconut, and freshly grilled banana, all laid out on banana leaves. Snorkelling there felt like entering a different density of life. The boat’s design honoured the phinisi tradition without romanticising it—the sails are functional, but the engines are modern, reliable. Our only wish? One extra day. We weren’t ready to return to schedules and emails. The sheets were crisp, the wine well-chilled, and the sunset cocktails never late. On our last evening, anchored off Long Beach, the captain played old jazz through the deck speakers. It was understated, but deeply felt.

Our honeymoon on Mega By Zada was pure romance. They decorated our cabin with petals and candles —so thoughtful. We spent a quiet afternoon at Long Beach, just us, reading under the shade. Crew brought iced lemongrass tea without being asked. Gili Lawa hiking was challenging but worth it —view dari atas? Absolutely breathtaking. Dinner served on the bow with stars above... I cried it was so beautiful. Only tiny issue: mattress a bit too firm for me. But every other detail —linen, service, food —was perfection. This is how love should be celebrated.

As a naval architect, I notice details. Mega By Zada’s construction—2015, but maintained like a 2024 vessel—shows care. The joinery is tight, the bilges dry, the sails trimmed with purpose. We charted a route from Manjarite to Long Beach, and the yacht handled the strait’s chop with grace. Snorkelling at Manjarite was the highlight—crystal water, blacktip reef sharks weaving through coral bommies. The crew, led by Captain Arya, operated with quiet competence. No shouting, no panic. Meals were served at the right temperature, wines decanted properly. My only observation: the chart table lighting could be brighter for evening navigation review. But that’s a professional quibble. For my wife and me, this was a retreat from noise—digital, social, emotional. One night, anchored off Komodo, we listened to the hull creak in the swell. It wasn’t a flaw. It was the sound of a boat alive in its element.
