Asia

Asia

Asia by yacht. It means warm seas. Which tint from topaz in Thailand to ultramarine in the Philippines. It means privacy. Like in Myanmar and Vietnam, where superyachts are in single figures. It means cuisine. From Singapore rooftops to Hong Kong street eats. And note that Tokyo boasts more Michelin stars than Paris or New York.

YOUR GUIDE TO ASIA

NATURAL APPEAL

Each Asian nation is rich in wildlife. Indonesia is guarded by rhinos and tigers. Its 17,000 islands contain 1,500 bird species. While the archipelago’s six-million-square-kilometres of sea holds the scuba world record: 284 species seen on a single dive. Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula is one long UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salmon leap from rivers. Sables scour coastal forest. Golden eagles eat the lot.

City-States

Asia’s city-states are culture rich. Singapore wows sailors with 63 mini-islands, 21st-century skylines and unlimited grilled satays. Anchor in Hong Kong for horse racing, Tai Chi training and dim sum cooking classes. Saigon is the place for motorcycle tasting tours and Mekong Delta safaris. Phuket is Thailand’s largest island. Moor in a chic marina. Then hang glide down from a jungle peak right over your Y.CO yacht.

Twin Coastlines

Many nations offer twin coastlines. And twice the fun. Thailand overlooks the Andaman Sea, where epic dive archipelagos were beloved of Jacques Cousteau. While its Gulf of Thailand coast has hang-a-hammock islands and snorkel-friendly Marine Parks. West Coast Malaysia has ziplines, jungle canopy walks and sandy islands guarded by macaques. East Coast Malaysia leads on to Malaysian Borneo, where another 2,600km of shoreline awaits.

REASONS TO VISIT

WHY WE LOVE ASIA

Michelin-Starred Street Food

Because there’s a time for linen tablecloths. And there’s a time for munching soy sauce chicken noodles ($3 from Singapore’s Liao Fan Chan) while strolling to temples and museums. See also Michelin one-star Raan Ja Fai in Bangkok (for crispy oyster omelettes). And Hong Kong, where 22 street vendors - each serving sub-$10 dishes - are highlighted in the Michelin Guide.
