Spice Route Voyage

Spice Route Voyage invites guests to retrace one of history's most storied trade passages, structured as two individually bookable experiences that together form a complete journey through sea and land.

The Phinisi Experience carries guests aboard a handcrafted Phinisi schooner for five days at sea, sailing through Indonesia's spice-route archipelago. Routes are seasonally curated across North Maluku, the Banda Islands, South Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara, following the same waters once navigated in pursuit of nutmeg, cloves, and mace. Each voyage is shaped by the season, offering a different facet of Indonesia's maritime heritage and island landscapes.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali Experience continues the journey on land, with a two-night immersive stay for up to six guests at the Nusantara Presidential Villa. The experience includes:

• Daily breakfast for six guests
• Luxury chauffeur service upon arrival and departure
• One Raja Mangsa Imperial Dinner - a curated feast tracing the flavours of the ancient spice trade
• One Afternoon Tea experience
• One Spice Route-Inspired Cocktail session at L'Atelier by Cyril Kongo
• One treatment at Apurva Spa

Together, the two experiences offer a rare pairing of open-water discovery and grounded indulgence, connecting the spice trade's maritime history to its cultural legacy on Balinese soil.

Spice Route Voyage is available for booking now, with inaugural sailings commencing in April 2026.
