Charter yacht Prana by Atzaró unveils a new Misool itinerary for 2026/2027
Prana by Atzaró has announced the launch of an extraordinary new 11-day itinerary through Misool, the southern jewel of Raja Ampat in Indonesia, inviting guests to discover one of the most spectacular and biologically diverse destinations on Earth.
Located off the northwestern tip of New Guinea in Indonesia’s West Papua province, Raja Ampat is a place of almost mythical beauty.
More than 1,500 jungle-clad islands rise dramatically from brilliant cerulean waters, where towering limestone pinnacles, hidden lagoons and untouched white-sand beaches create landscapes that feel almost prehistoric. Often described as Jurassic in appearance, this remote archipelago is one of the last true frontiers of luxury adventure travel.
Its name, meaning “Four Kings”, originates from an ancient local legend in which four mysterious eggs hatched into the rulers of the region’s four principal islands – Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta and Misool – a story that continues to shape the identity and mystique of this extraordinary destination today.
You can experience this remarkable corner of the world with a new 11-day itinerary created by Prana by Atzaró, one of Indonesia’s most celebrated luxury yachts, combining world-class exploration with exceptional comfort, wellness and personalised service.
“Misool represents everything that makes Indonesia such an extraordinary destination,” says Vicente Gausch, Chief Global Officer of Atzaró Collection. “It is breathtakingly beautiful above the water, astonishing beneath the surface and remarkably untouched. This new itinerary has been designed to immerse guests in every aspect of the destination – from world-renowned dive sites and hidden lagoons to ancient cultural landmarks.”
Beginning in Sorong, guests are welcomed aboard before sailing south into the emerald archipelagos of Misool. Over 11 unforgettable days, the voyage reveals hidden lagoons, prehistoric caves, remote islands and pristine coral reefs while offering a seamless blend of adventure, relaxation and refined hospitality. Recognised by marine scientists as the global epicentre of marine biodiversity, Raja Ampat is home to the richest coral reef ecosystem on the planet. Its waters support more than 1,600 species of reef fish, including dozens found nowhere else on Earth, alongside over 600 species of hard and soft corals—around three-quarters of all known coral species worldwide.
The nutrient-rich seas also attract manta rays, reef sharks, turtles and, throughout the year, a remarkable diversity of marine mammals, with at least 16 species of whales and dolphins regularly recorded in the region.
Designed for both divers and non-divers alike, the new itinerary explores many of Raja Ampat’s most celebrated locations. Divers can descend into legendary sites including Magic Mountain, where both oceanic and reef manta rays gather at a single cleaning station, the vibrant pinnacles of Daram, the colourful reefs surrounding Boo Island, the protected marine sanctuary of Fiabacet and the dramatic walls and sea fan gardens of Wayilbatan.
Encounters beneath the surface include schools of barracuda, snapper, bumphead parrotfish, pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, reef sharks, octopus and, season permitting, spectacular congregations of mobula rays feeding among shimmering schools of silversides.
For those who prefer to remain above the water, every day presents opportunities to kayak through hidden limestone lagoons, paddleboard across mirror-like bays, snorkel vibrant coral gardens, swim in crystal-clear jungle inlets and explore deserted islands accessible only by yacht.
The journey also reveals Raja Ampat’s fascinating natural and cultural heritage. Guests can venture into the impressive Keramat Caves, discover ancient hand paintings believed to be over 5,000 years old, hike to breathtaking viewpoints overlooking Misool’s labyrinth of emerald islands and experience the magical Jellyfish Lake, where thousands of harmless golden jellyfish drift peacefully through sheltered turquoise waters in one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles.
Life aboard Prana by Atzaró is equally unforgettable. Spacious handcrafted suites, expansive teak decks and elegant Indonesian-inspired interiors provide an atmosphere of understated luxury, while the yacht’s attentive crew ensures every detail is thoughtfully considered. Between adventures, guests can unwind with treatments in the onboard spa, enjoy yoga overlooking the ocean, or simply relax as dolphins escort the yacht through the calm waters of Raja Ampat.
Dining is a highlight throughout the voyage, with menus celebrating Indonesia’s vibrant flavours alongside refined international cuisine. Evenings range from elegant five-course dinners served beneath the stars to sunset cocktails on deserted beaches and Prana’s signature private island barbecues, where fresh lobster, premium steaks and locally sourced produce are enjoyed on secluded stretches of white sand beneath a canopy of stars.
The itinerary also reflects Prana by Atzaró’s commitment to responsible tourism. Guests spend time within the protected waters surrounding Misool, where marine conservation initiatives have helped restore and safeguard one of the world’s most important reef ecosystems.
Travelling with Prana by Atzaró offers the opportunity to experience Raja Ampat’s extraordinary natural beauty while supporting the preservation of this globally significant marine environment for future generations.
