Experience Indonesia in Five-Star Comfort Aboard Mahodaya


A Legacy of Excellence

Mahodaya – meaning "great fortune or prosperity" in Sanskrit – is an authentic phinisi vessel built in 2009 by master wooden boat builders of eastern Indonesia. Originally commissioned by Adrian Zecha, founder of Amanresorts and Azerai Resorts, this UNESCO-recognized masterpiece combines traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with modern luxury. 

Every detail aboard Mahodaya reflects the vision of late designer Jaya Ibrahim, whose portfolio includes iconic properties like The Dharmawangsa Hotel Jakarta and The Legian Bali. In 2019, the vessel underwent significant upgrades including state-of-the-art Blue Sky satellite tracking and Iridium communications, ensuring you stay connected even in the remotest paradise.
