Alila Purnama
Old-fashioned luxury linked to a fine diving experience
An opulent reincarnation of a phinisi, the two-masted, handcrafted ketches that resemble Arabic dhows and which travelled the Spice Island trade routes, Alila Purnama comes complete with an onboard beauty therapist. The vessel also offers an indulgent mise-en-scène with five well-appointed cabins and an expansive master suite with large wraparound windows. There’s a dive centre that comes into its own during sailings to the West Papua province of Raja Ampat – considered the holy grail by divers in the region.
