REGION OVERVIEW

From the A-list luxury of the Maldives to the world-famous buzz of Hong Kong, there is so much to discover in Southeast Asia and throughout the Indian Ocean. More and more marinas are being built alongside the spectacular on-shore resorts, firmly putting this region on the luxury yacht map. However, if remote adventures and untouched isles are what you’re after, you’ll easily find it.

The myriad of empty coves, footprint-free beaches and untouched turquoise seas proves that a private yacht charter in the Indian Ocean or Southeast Asia is not to be missed. Discover the largely uninhabited haven that is the Mergui Archipelago or the wildlife-filled Andaman Islands that float elegantly off the Indian coast. Head south to Langkawi where you’ll find rugged clifftop lookouts, spectacular limestone caves and perfect waters; or southwest to Mauritius where black-rock volcanic islands are complemented by natural gorges and untouched national parks.

Keen divers will find paradise in the Red Sea, Indonesia and the Maldives. If discovering life beneath the water is on your to-do list, it’s recommended you charter a luxury yacht with a divemaster and a compressor for the very best experience.

If you prefer to charter close to on-shore facilities and experience the bustle Southeast Asia is famous for, Thailand’s Phuket is an apt choice. With an abundance of spectacular local food, islands where you are greeted by wild monkeys and a nightlife scene unrivalled by any other Southeast Asian country, Phuket is a favourite of many overseas travellers.

The list of things to do are limitless. Shop until you drop in vibrant Singapore, experience the glamour of rooftop infinity pools and award-winning dining in Hong Kong or discover Bali, an Australian holiday hot-spot boasting clifftop bars, streets lined with local food carts and exciting surf culture.

Topping the long list of secluded paradises is Myanmar; an untouched world of coral reefs, virgin jungles and world-class scuba diving just waiting to be explored. Previously known as Burma, this Southeast Asian nation is filled with Buddhist temples, cultural palaces and enough flora and fauna for a lifetime of exploration.

The mix of vibrant cultures, drastic landscapes and delicious cuisine proves that there is no better way to discover this corner of the globe than by luxury yacht. The seemingly-endless islands and nations that dot the Indian Ocean, as we’ll as Southeast Asia, are ideal for private yacht charters who want to discover a bit of everything.
