Welcome to Arenui
To live up to the Arenui's motto of being "The Boutique Liveaboard", attention has been given to every aspect of the Arenui to ensure that it fully embodies the owners philosophy of providing a unique dive holiday experience, giving you the best there is in terms of diving and leisure activities, without sacrificing any of the comforts and luxury you would expect to get from a top-notch hotel on land. Intimate but roomy, the Arenui is an exquisite ship and a work of art in itself with its wooden detailing and decorative touches. Moreover, it aims to differentiate itself from other liveaboards by providing personalized accommodation, services and facilities. The company believe that the individual service and their personalized touches on board will make your holiday an unforgettable one.
Arenui believes that, even when sailing around remote islands, there's no reason to forego fine dining! After all, a relaxing meal prepared with care and style is the best way to remain full of energy for the next dive! On Arenui, the food is always plentiful and fresh. Local seafood is of course a speciality, but imported meats, organic fruits and vegetables and special ingredients are flown in as well, all of which allow the renowned chefs to create delicious and inventive dishes! The chef can easily cater to any special dietary needs as the crew propose A la carte menu for each meal to all passengers, offering two or three options for each course. With fresh new selections for each meal and an emphasis on providing a wonderful gourmet experience, you will soon forget that you are sailing in the middle of the Indonesian archipelago! Moreover, you have the option of dining either in the exotic, yet comfortable restaurant or al fresco under the canopy of the unique sky deck.
You may wish to spend time on the sky deck other than during meals - to enjoy an aperitif or just to soak up the magnificent scenery. In addition, the indoor lounges also offer a complete range of leisure and recreational facilities, such as an onboard spa, a computer for looking through your photos of the day's dives, an internet connection and an extensive selection of books and movies in our library/entertainment centre to relax in whatever way you see fit!
Nowadays, no diving liveaboard would be complete without modern communication, sound and computer systems, and The Arenui has all of these, complete with the latest technology and software to ensure that they are compatible with different needs. The facilities include: a downloading station and photography table, iMac and PC computers with photo-video editing software, an internet connection (where GPRS signal is available), two Ericsson satellite phones, a TV and music system.
SPA & MASSAGES
Make the most of your non-diving time and indulge yourself! Included is a full range of massage and spa treatments on the Arenui with exactly this in mind. You'll even have the choice of enjoying your luxury treatment either in seclusion under the Spa Tent or by being at one with the elements out on the deck where you can listen to the tranquil sounds of the sea splashing on the hull. For those who are looking for simpler pleasures, there are deck chairs and sun loungers on the sundeck as well as in the outdoor lounge to allow you to just lie back and soak up some rays or to sip a cocktail while watching the sun descend below the horizon across the water.
Each of the Arenui's cabins have been decorated and furnished in a stylish and inspirational manner according to a specific theme. The Arenui can host a maximum of 16 passengers who can luxuriate in exceptionally spacious cabins that are tastefully furnished with exquisite handicrafts from each of the Indonesian provinces. Each cabin, which far surpasses anything one would expect to find on a liveaboard (starting from 17 square meters), has a private en-suite bathroom and individually controlled air conditioning. A king-size bed and separate salon area assures our guests' comfort. The Arenui can be your private sanctuary and second home, but one located amidst a constantly changing tropical landscape!
Rama and Shinta are the master cabins. They both are fit with king size beds and a sofa, and a balcony for added privacy. The master cabins are located on the main deck of the vessel.
Ganesh and Barong are fit with twin beds. Each passenger has their own private wardrobe. These two cabins are located on the main deck.
Garuda is fit with twin beds and is located on the lower deck.
Legong, Toraja and Dayak are fit with a sofa and a double bed. These cabins are located on the lower deck.
Each cabin has all the luxuries one could expect of a 5 star hotel. Enjoy the handmade soap in your room that was created especially for Arenui with it's special scent- Arenui!
The yacht has three multi lingual dive masters and a western expedition leader. There are two 8 metre fibre glass dive tenders from where the diving is carried out. The crew look after the guests and their equipment making for a delightful easy dive experience.
Up to four dives per day are offered. The underlying concept of the Arenui is to provide you with the convenience of a fully equipped dive liveaboard together with all the richness, artistic touches and comforts of a top-notch luxury boutique hotel. Yet this is the only one that drops you off directly onto the best dive sites that Indonesia has to offer!
The same attention to detail was given in designing the cruise itineraries which include not only all of the usual popular diving sites in Indonesia, renowned worldwide for its biodiversity, but other world-class destinations which have been overlooked so far by most recreational diving operators.
The cruise programs include: Komodo, Raja Ampat, North Raja Ampat, Alor, Flores and the Banda Sea.
Moreover, the dates of Arenui''s cruises have been planned in such a way as to ensure the most favourable weather conditions and the best sightings of marine life according to the destination. Also on offer are unforgettable excursions to complete the ideal diving program and to make sure that you also have the chance to enjoy the amazing sights available on land.
During the year Arenui moves, and her schedule is planned according to the best time to dive in that location. A few times a year she offers unique schedules that depart from all areas of Indonesia.
