Komodo

Home to the 3m-long Komodo dragon – the world’s largest living species of lizard – Komodo island is best described as Indonesia’s wild frontier. A rugged mix of rusty-red volcanic hills, dry savanna, lush forest and sandy coastlines, it’s well and truly off the beaten track. Komodo’s dramatic and desert-like terrain is punctuated by pockets of spongey scrubland while its stunning pink sand beaches are a rare and memorable sight.  Komodo’s surrounding waters of seagrass beds, mangrove shrublands and coral reefs make it a fascinating and unmissable yachting destination.  In fact, the only way to explore Komodo’s isolated beauty is by sea.
