Your Host and The Team


“Patti Seery was the visionary beyond Silolona Sojourns, creating traditional hand crafted vessels that speaks of the history of the Spice Trade and embodies the spirit of the Indonesian Archipelago whilst ensuring the highest international standards for safety, comforts, service and cuisine. In order to accomplish this goal a mutually respectful bridge between the knowledge and skill of the traditional boat builders and modern western marine technology had to be established.”

The first of Patti’s builds became known as the Ultimate Phinisi, a modern classic phinisi build that is as much of the guest experience as the destination and experiences in themselves. Our second phinisi – Si Datu Bua (Beloved Princess) was built in 2012, using the same Konjo builders that built Silolona, Patti brought in Tresno a naval architect to conceptualize the smaller phinisi, using the same concepts of tradition with modern standards and comforts. Following Patti’s retirement she named Tresno as her successor and CEO. Sharing the same spirit of adventure and vision as Patti, Tresno continues to grow and develop Silolona Sojourns creating remarkable voyages for guests throughout South East Asia. Secret Retreats shares the same values and respect for people and traditions.

A Journey to Komodo

Komodo DragonJagged silhouettes of sun drenched hills slipping into countless turquoise bays rimmed with pink sand beaches form the dramatic backdrop for the days idles and adventures. Relaxing on the sun deck sipping a fresh passion fruit frappe, a glass of champagne or a freshly brewed cappuccino, each day the choice is yours. The islands of Komodo are blessed with hundreds of secluded beaches, transparent crystal clear waters, and stunning coral reefs for some of the best diving in the world, waiting to be explored.

Seek your own private haven either onboard or ashore to read a book or simply stroll along a crescent shaped beach where the only footprints are yours or those of a Komodo dragon. While you were out collecting seashells your personal cabin steward has arranged for cold drinks under the white umbrellas in the sand. Late afternoon is the perfect time to gear up for some fishing and nothing is a more welcome addition to sunset cocktails on the aft deck than a delectable dish of freshly caught tuna sashimi.

Night time in Komodo brings its own special magic from dinner on deck under the brilliant stars of the Milky Way constellation to barbeques and bonfires on the beach. It is your personal choice. Shooting stars and glittering phosphorescence fades as you seek the sanctuary of your stateroom to rest up for the next day’s adventures…

With black sails billowing in the wind onboard Silolona, contact us here dream@secret-retreats.com to explore the unspoiled islands of the Komodo Archipelago… or other destinations around Eastern Indonesia.

Kim, the discoverer.

We Care

Founded by American-born architect and Silolona Sojourns founder Patti Seery, based in Indonesia, Silolona Sojourns is guided by a long-standing commitment to cultural preservation and responsible exploration. For more than 30 years, Patti has worked closely with indigenous communities across Indonesia, including the Asmat and Dani tribes of Papua, supporting the safeguarding of living traditions and cultural heritage throughout the archipelago.
Silolona Sojourns actively supports marine conservation and biodiversity initiatives in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. As a member of the Indo-Pacific Conservation Alliance (IPCA), the company contributes to projects focused on ecosystem protection across the region. Partnerships with Conservation International support the Bird’s Head Seascape initiative and ongoing marine research, while annual financial support of the Misool Foundation contributes directly to the protection of the Raja Ampat marine park. Silolona Sojourns is also involved in global conservation efforts through Re:wild and the ReShark / StAR Project, supporting leopard shark rewilding and marine research expeditions, and continues collaboration with ocean advocate Shawn Heinrichs (Only One / Racing Extinction).
Cultural preservation and community support remain central to Silolona Sojourns’ mission. The company supports Yayasan Toraja Melo in Sulawesi and PEKKA in Flores, helping sustain traditional weaving and strengthen women-led livelihoods, as well as Sanggar Alam Serang Dakko in Makassar, which focuses on traditional music, dance, and cultural education. These values extend into daily operations through responsible sourcing and sustainable vessel design, including the use of locally sourced wood, reclaimed teak, and fully functional sails to reduce environmental impact.
