Palm Bay Resort
Floating Resort by Scubaspa is a new and unique concept combining exceptional spa experiences with unforgettable scuba diving. Designed for divers who travel with non-diving partners and guests with a keen interest in spas, Scubaspa’s purpose-built yachts explore the picture-perfect islands and reefs in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Discover the rich marine life under the ocean or indulge in daily treatments in the sumptuous onboard spa. Or why not experience both? The beauty of Scubaspa is that the choice is yours.
Four spacious decks offer a gym, Jacuzzi, and deck hosting sunset cocktails, star gazing outdoor dinners and an open-air cinema for evening entertainment. With a crew of 30 on each yacht, guests benefit from a high staff to guest ratio, including four spa therapists, a yoga master, four highly skilled chefs and a guest services manager to ensure excellent service. The Floating Resort offers diverse sporty and pampering 4 and 7 night itineraries in the Central Atolls and Far North.
Luxury liveaboard diving yachts Scubaspa Ying and Scubaspa Yang have been designed to accommodate up to 40 guests. With 10 cabins and nine suites on each yacht, tastefully decorated and all with panoramic sea view or port lights, guests can choose from queen, king or twin bed combinations. One suite and one cabin sleep up to three people. All have air conditioning and en suite bathrooms with shower.
Manta Suites
Four suites with king-size beds, all with twin bed option and one suite with queen-size bed. Set on the main deck, Manta Suites are Scubaspa's premium cabins combining comfortable twin or king-size beds with thoughtfully appointed seating areas. Pared back designs feature natural tones and materials whilst large oval panoramic windows set into the hull offer uninterrupted ocean views and total privacy.
Dolphin Suites
Three suites with queen-size beds. Beautifully decorated, the Dolphin Suites are set on the main deck and offer queen-size beds with generous seating areas. Earthy and blue fabrics complement the natural color scheme whilst oval panoramic windows set into the hull offer uninterrupted ocean views and total privacy.
Cowrie Suite
One suite with queen-size bed and sofa bed. The Cowrie Suite nestles snugly in the bow of the lower deck. This special suite has a unique shape with angled, paneled walls. There is a queen-size bed and a lavish ruby-colored sofa, that can be transformed into a comfortable third bed. As the Cowrie Suite spans the width of the bow it has four opening port lights, and the spacious en suite houses the largest shower on board.
Sea Star Cabins
10 cabins with queen-size bed and one with additional second bed. The spacious Sea Star Cabins are situated on the lower deck. All have a queen-size bed and one features an additional second bed, for three guests sharing. Sensuous driftwood sculptures blend with earthy and jewel tones to provide a relaxing setting. Each Sea Star Cabin is generously fitted with two opening port lights.
