OnboardSpread out below Si Datu Bua’s wine-coloured sails are expansive wooden decks where you can while away the hours suntanning, reading and napping on soft sun loungers, enjoying gourmet meals and seafood barbecues under the stars at the al fresco dining tables, or cosying up in the bowsprit lounge area to gaze out at the jungle-covered isles, volcanic peaks and deserted beaches passing by.
The interiors of Si Datu Bua are tastefully decorated with wooden accents, traditional textiles and Indonesian artefacts throughout. The roomy cabins are perfect for rest and relaxation, and guests will find plenty of places to gather and recount the day’s adventures in the spacious lounge and dining room with large windows and ample seating and the multimedia room with all the latest entertainment technology.
