Straddling the equator, Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's oldest rainforests, unaffected by any ice age. As the planet's largest archipelago, the region plays host to an awesomely rich bio-diversity of mammals, birds, insects and reptiles that have grown up in isolation, cut off by the seas surrounding their individual islands.

Indonesia Sailing Charters: Katharina'Amanikan', the 32-metre Phinisi coastal cruiser custom-built for Aman resorts, is ideal for private cruises for one or two couples or a family, combining the romance of spice trade sailing vessels with modern amenities and all the comforts befitting Aman.

A great way to explore the huge fleet of Japanese WWII shipwrecks of Coron Bay is to make a safari, sleeping some nights on board your boat and others at one or other of the boutique resorts that are scattered around the Calamian Islands.
The Spice Islands, famous for their cloves, nutmeg and stories about Buginese pirates, offers diving encounters of extraordinary diversity. One of the best ways to explore these hidden gems is via a liveaboard dive cruise.
