Komodo Islands Travel Guide For Indonesia

The island of Komodo, in Indonesia, is famous for being home to the beastly Komodo dragons (the world’s biggest lizard), and it’s also an incredibly scenic place with lots of other ‘bucket list’ travel experiences.

Komodo National Park is UNESCO designated , with dozens of exotic islands, white and pink sand beaches , coral reefs for diving, and it’s the only place in the world where you can see Komodo dragons up close in the wild and get your picture taken with them!

Since Indonesia is my second home, I’ve visited the Komodo islands a bunch of times over the years and it’s always a thrill. One of the great things about the gateway town, Labuan Bajo, is that it’s not far from Bali and it’s easy to reach with a short flight from there.

This travel guide for Komodo will explain how to get there, where to stay, what to do in the islands, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Komodo has more than just dragons! This is one of the famous viewpoints.

Where Is Komodo Island?

Komodo island is part of the Komodo National Park, a group of tropical islands located just off the coast of Flores, in east Indonesia.

The park’s three main islands are Komodo, Rinca, and Padar , but there are lots of smaller ones too, so it’s the perfect place for island hopping!

The closest city is the fishing town of Labuan Bajo in Flores, which has its own airport and plenty of hotels and restaurants to enjoy in between visits to the park.

Wild Komodo dragon!

How To Get To Komodo National Park

The only way to visit Komodo island and the rest of the national park is on a boat tour from Labuan Bajo, where the airport is located. You can’t fly to Komodo island directly.

There are a bunch of flights to Labuan Bajo airport (LBJ) every day from Bali, with a 1 hour flight time and several airlines offering ticket prices as low as 1 juta ($70 USD).

Getting to Komodo island from Bali is easier than ever now that AirAsia flies between them several times per week. There are also flights from Jakarta, Surabaya, or Ende to the Labuan Bajo airport. You can shop for flights on Skyscanner .

Once you get to Labuan Bajo, it’s possible to book a boat tour to Komodo island at the harbor, or you can book a day tour online (more on that later).

The Komodo islands are located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Labuan Bajo as the crow flies, and the journey normally takes 3 hours with a slow boat, or less than half that with a speedboat.

It’s possible to knock out all the top sights of Komodo National Park (including the dragons) in one full day tour, or you can stay in a liveaboard boat and spend several days sightseeing!

How To Get Around The Komodo Islands

The three boat types for exploring the Komodo islands are slow boat, speedboat, or liveaboard boat.

Slow boat is the cheapest option, and it’s commonly used for day tours, but you do waste a lot of time in transit because it’s just so dang slow. Speedboat is much faster and more efficient, but it’s quite a bit more expensive.

Liveaboard tours can also be pricey, but it’s a unique experience where you get to sleep in a cabin and spend several days sightseeing and enjoying more of the sights in the park.

Where To Stay In Komodo

There are no hotels in Komodo island. All of the hotels and accommodation are in the nearby town of Labuan Bajo.

You can find hotels and accommodation here to suit all budgets, from backpacker to luxury. However, it’s a little bit more pricey than Bali on average, because the development in Labuan Bajo hasn’t quite caught up to the number of tourists coming here.

We’ve included some of our hotel recommendations below.

Best Things To Do In Komodo National Park

• padar island.

One of the most scenic places in Indonesia is on the small island of Padar. It’s a short 30 minute hike to the top, and you’re rewarded with probably one of the best views in all of Southeast Asia.

This is like a Jurassic Park landscape. The island has a giant X shape, with three bays where you can see a white beach, black beach, and pink beach.

Each of those sand colors is pretty special in itself, but to see all of them in one place is crazy. This is probably the only place in the world where you can witness that!

Even though Padar is one of the smallest islands in the Komodo National Park, this scenic viewpoint has become a famous natural landmark of Indonesia, and it’s even been featured on the 50,000 Rupiah cash note.

Beaches in all directions!

• Pink Beach

The Komodo islands are home to several pink sand beaches! The color comes from tiny organisms in the coral called foraminifera.

Pink beaches are very rare, and there are only a handful of them worldwide. The one with the brightest color is hidden in a bay on the northwest side of Padar island.

These unique beaches are a must see when you’re visiting Komodo National Park.

• Komodo Dragon Trek

Of course the main attraction of Komodo is getting to see the dragons themselves in the wild! The Komodo National Park is the only place in the world where you can do this.

For this part of the tour, you’ll go ashore at one of the two main islands where the dragons live in Indonesia (Rinca or Komodo island) and do a short trek looking for dragons while accompanied by a park ranger. The trekking path is flat and suitable for all fitness levels.

For sightseeing purposes, there’s not much difference between Rinca island or Komodo island, and many tours use these locations interchangeably. There are plenty of Komodo dragons living on either island.

You’re almost guaranteed to see at least a few dragons (after all, Komodo is their home), and with the guide’s help you can even take pictures with them! It’s an amazing experience getting to see these animals up close in the wild.

Komodo Dragon FAQ

• How big are they? Adult Komodo dragons can be 3 meters long (10 feet) and weigh more than 140 kilos (300 pounds). The males are bigger than the females.
• Are they venomous? I think the jury is still out on that. Some research has shown that the Komodo dragon bites may be dangerous because of venom or bacteria.
• How do they hunt? Komodo dragons can smell blood from almost 10 kilometers (6 miles) and they can run in bursts of speed up to 20 kilometers per hour (12 mph). Truly dinosaurs!
• What do they eat? They eat a mix of deer, boars, monkeys, birds, goats, wild horses, and water buffaloes. Their favorite food is the deer (Javan Rusa). They can also be cannibals sometimes and eat other dragons.
• Do they attack humans? Yes, but rarely. The dragons don’t think of us as food. Less than a dozen people have been killed by them in the past 50 years, and all of the victims were locals at the village on Komodo island, where they were living in close proximity to the animals.
• Do they breathe fire? No, the dragons can’t breathe fire, but the first Dutch explorers in the Komodo islands believed that!
• Are there Komodo dragons in Bali? No, there aren’t any wild Komodo dragons in Bali. You can see captive dragons at the Bali Bird Park or Bali Safari Marine Park , although I think it’s a much better experience to see the dragons in their natural environment on the island of Komodo or Rinca. Bali does have monitor lizards, which look kind of similar to Komodo dragons, but they’re smaller.
• Are there Komodo dragons in the Galapagos islands? No, there aren’t any Komodo dragons outside of Indonesia except in zoos. The lizards in the Galapagos islands of Ecuador are marine iguanas, not Komodos. Totally different animal. Those are much smaller and tamer.

Komodo Trekking FAQ

• Is it safe? Yes, just stay close to your guide and you shouldn’t have any issues. The only tourists that have ever been attacked by dragons were trekking alone without a guide.
• Can I visit during my period? Yes, menstruating women can still visit Komodo even though the dragons are good at smelling blood, but you’re supposed to tell the park staff so your guide can be more careful on the tour.
• How long is the trek? There’s a short, medium, long, or adventure trek. If you’re on a day tour (island hopping), then you’ll probably only have time to do the short or medium trek (both less than 1 hour) before you’re whisked off to go see the manta rays or pink beach .
• How easy is it to see dragons? You’re practically guaranteed to see dragons, even on the short trek, because there are thousands of them living on Komodo and Rinca. I’ve done the trek a bunch of times, and I saw lots of dragons every time. You can also spot them on the beach sometimes. Photo ops galore!

• Are the dragons sedated? No, the dragons are absolutely not sedated! The reason they lie around motionless sometimes is because they’re digesting a big meal or resting after a hunt. You’d want to sleep too after eating an entire deer. The dragons are most active in the morning, but like to chill in the middle of the day.
• Can I touch them? No way! The photos in this travel blog where we’re sitting close to the Komodo dragons are perspective pics. Don’t worry, we kept a healthy distance from them and definitely didn’t touch them.
• What else can I see? If you’re lucky on the trek, you can also see Komodo nests, baby dragons, rare birds, snakes, spiders, and more. Snake species include the spitting cobra and island pit viper.
• Do I need to tip? Tipping isn’t customary in Indonesia, but if your guide takes good pictures for you then a small tip is certainly appreciated. The guides in the Komodo islands are not paid very much.

More Things To Do In Komodo

• Kalong Island: Also known as bat island, if you go here at sunset you can see thousands of fruit bats flying through the sky.
• Manta Point: Amazing spot where you can swim with giant manta rays in the ocean. They’re a little shy but not dangerous at all.
• Taka Makassar: This is a small crescent-shaped sandbar near Manta Point. It has perfect white sand and crystal clear water.
• Gili Lawa Darat: One of the most remote spots in Komodo since it’s located on the northwest boundary of the park, just off the coast of Komodo island. It has a hill that’s great for sunrise.
• Kelor Island: A lot of Komodo tours stop at this island since it’s close to Labuan Bajo. It has a hill you can climb for a nice view of Flores island.
• Private Island Resorts: For private island resorts near Komodo, you have your choice of Le Pirate Island , Sebayur Island Resort , or Kanawa Island Resort .
• Scuba Diving: Komodo is famous for its world class snorkeling and scuba diving. You can see bright coral reefs and lots of underwater wildlife here.
• Labuan Bajo: Don’t forget to spend some time exploring the town of Labuan Bajo and its surroundings. There are a bunch of good things to do near Labuan Bajo. I’ll be covering those separately from this Komodo travel guide.

Is Komodo Open Or Closed?

In 2019, the government of Indonesia announced plans to close Komodo island for the year of 2020 in order to work on conservation and rehabilitation. The idea got a lot of backlash, though, so they decided to reverse it at the last minute.

A lot of the locals in Komodo and Labuan Bajo survive off of tourism, so closing it is a tough proposition for them. To be honest, the islands do need better conservation, but I’m not sure if that means they need to be closed completely. Trash cleanup could be done regardless, and some of the places need it.

As it turns out, the Komodo National Park was closed anyway for almost 6 months in 2020 because of the covid pandemic, but the park reopened in August 2020. We visited the islands again in 2021 shortly after they re-opened, and we had a wonderful time.

Tourism activities at Komodo were temporarily stopped again for two days in August 2022, because of strikes related to the Indonesian government trying to dramatically increase the park entrance fees.

You can read more about this in the section below. However, thankfully, the government relented and decided not to raise the park fees at this time, so everything is back to business as usual.

As of 2024, Komodo island is officially open for tourism!

Komodo Entrance Fee

The Komodo National Park has a confusing ticket system with a bunch of different entrance fees that you pay in a small booth at Padar. Here are some of the main fees:

• National Park Entrance Ticket (Mon-Sat): 150k IDR ($10 USD)
• National Park Entrance Ticket (Sundays & Nat. Holidays): 225k IDR ($14)
• Komodo/Rinca Island Fee: 100k IDR ($6)
• Ranger Fee Padar: 400k IDR ($25)
• Ranger Fee Loh Liang: 400k – 450k IDR ($25 – $28)
• Retribution Fee: 50k IDR ($3)

When you total everything up, you can expect to pay around 1.2 million Rupiah ($75 USD) per person for a 1 day park pass that allows you to do the highlights of Komodo National Park.

These ticket prices are current as of 2024 , but they seem to go up every year. There’s no discount for children or KITAS/KITAP holders, either, which is pretty lame. The least they could do is make the tickets last 3 days or 1 week so they have more value.

I think the price is still worth it for the outstanding nature you get to see at Komodo, but if they keep raising it then it may get unreasonable. For comparison, a U.S. National Parks pass costs roughly the same as this, but it gives you access to 400+ national parks for 1 year.  

New Entrance Fee? (2024)

In June 2022, it was announced that Indonesia was thinking about raising the Komodo entrance fee to 3.75 million Rupiah ($250 USD) per person, and limit park visitors to 200,000 per year.

This change was originally supposed to take effect on August 1, 2022, but it was met with a large scale protest and strike by the local tourism workers, which forced the government to cancel the plan for now .

Most tourists who visit Komodo are not ultra rich, and to make a major change like this with such short notice was very inconsiderate of park visitors and most likely would’ve been a death blow to the local businesses in Labuan Bajo as well.

Thankfully, the Indonesian government reconsidered this plan and decided not to raise the Komodo entrance fees, and the boat trips and all other tourist activities in Komodo National Park resumed like before.

Near the end of 2022, there was some more talk about raising the Komodo entrance fee excessively, which was supposed to happen on January 1, 2023. However, the Indonesian news reported that this plan has been canceled once again.

I’ll update this Komodo travel guide if we get any more new information. I think it’s very unlikely any big price changes will happen, because the locals really depend on tourism. For now, tourists are welcome in Komodo like always, and the prices haven’t changed!

Other Tips For Labuan Bajo

• ATM: There are lots of ATM choices scattered around Labuan Bajo town on Flores. BNI worked great in our experience.
• Credit Cards: Some places accept card now, but many don’t. It’s good to keep a bit of cash handy for meals, taxis, and such.
• WiFi: A lot of hotels in Labuan Bajo still have weak WiFi connections, but they’re improving every year as the infrastructure catches up to the massive influx of tourism.
• Cell Service: Telkomsel has good 4G reception in Labuan Bajo, Komodo, and even some of the intermediate islands. We used this for a hotspot at times when we didn’t have good WiFi.
• Restaurants: There are lots of good places to eat in Labuan Bajo. Some nice restaurants to check out are Green Cherry , Baccalá , and La Cucina . We also liked Ayam Bakar Primarasa , near the airport.
• Transportation: Labuan Bajo town is small and easy to get around. You can rent a scooter all day for 75k Rupiah ($5 USD), or take a taxi around town for 50k per trip.
• Language: The locals in Flores and Komodo speak Bahasa Indonesia, and a little bit of English that they’ve been able to pick up from tourists. English proficiency isn’t nearly as widespread as in Bali, so be patient and come prepared to explain things by pointing or showing pictures.
• Religion: The island of Flores is mostly Catholic, but there’s also a significant minority of Muslims in Komodo, and there are several active mosques in Labuan Bajo. When I visited Labuan Bajo in 2018, there was a mosque using a noisy loudspeaker at all hours of the day and night, but when we last visited we didn’t hear any mosques, so maybe the local authorities have asked them to turn down the volume. In any case, if you’re a light sleeper then it’s a good idea to bring ear plugs with you to Labuan Bajo just in case there’s a noisy mosque at night.
• Mosquitoes: According to this Lancet study from 2018, Malaria cases are rare and decreasing in Flores and the Komodo islands. I’ve never heard of a tourist getting Malaria from mosquitoes in Komodo. We didn’t take malaria pills on any of our Komodo trips, but it’s still a good idea to wear repellant while out and about, just to be safe.
• Drones: The Komodo park rangers don’t allow anyone to fly a drone at Padar island anymore unless you pay an exorbitant fee of 1 million Rupiah ($70 USD). No prior application is needed, you just pay the fee in cash on the spot, and then they let you fly. There are some ways to get around this if you’re creative.

Best Time To Visit Komodo

The best time to visit Indonesia really depends on what you’re looking for.

You can see the Komodo dragons all year round. Prime diving season is March to October. High season for Komodo National Park is July to August, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable, but the park is also more crowded with tourists.

The climate in Komodo tends to be drier and more sunny than other places in Indonesia, like Bali. The main months to avoid for Komodo island are December to February, when Indonesia has its rainy season and the weather is not very good for sailing or trekking. Generally the only reason to go in these months would be to avoid the crowds.

The grass color at Komodo changes with the seasons. It’s green in the tail end of the rainy season (January to April). By April or May, the grass color starts to turn yellow. In the summer and fall (July to November), the islands are bone dry and the grass is brown. The pictures in this Komodo travel blog were taken in early March.

The scenery and dragons are honestly spectacular in any month of the year, so regardless of when you go, you’re sure to have a very memorable trip. Happy travels!

Where To Stay In Labuan Bajo

Future of komodo tourism.

The future of Komodo tourism is still uncertain. I’m happy Indonesia has opened the park for everyone to enjoy, and I’m glad it’s given employment to the locals, but further development of the islands could become a problem.

There’s been some talk of a ‘Komodo dragon park’ or luxury resort being built on Rinca island, for example, which seems like a very bad idea.

Komodo dragons are amazing animals. They’re already endangered, and their habitat is very limited. I hope Indonesia will do the right thing, and choose conservation over greed, so we can continue to enjoy this place for many years to come.  

More Things To See Near Komodo Indonesia

There are lots of other great things to do near Komodo if you have time.

On mainland Flores island, you can visit the Goa Rangko Cave in Labuan Bajo, and then do an overland tour of Flores from west to east and see sights like the spiderweb rice fields, Wae Rebo traditional village, Mount Inerie volcano, and the turquoise volcanic lakes of Mount Kelimutu .

The Kelimutu National Park has a trio of colorful volcanic lakes in central Flores, and you can see it without doing any hiking. The lakes are known to regularly change colors (to blue, green, pink, or brown!) because of changes in the underlying gases and elements.

In spite of the lack of publicity and infrastructure, Flores is definitely one of the best places to visit in Indonesia!

Hi thank you for sharing information about Komodo Island

Thank you for the wonderful blog. its really useful and informative.

Brilliant, organized, informative post!!!

I really appreciate your day trip recommendation. Is that with a speedboat or slow boat?

Do you have any recommendations for an upscale two or three day liveaboard boat?

Hi Clay! The day tour recommended in the article is a speedboat tour, which is normally faster and more efficient, so you get to have more time on the islands compared to the slow wooden boats. We normally do day trips instead of liveaboard, but I know GetYourGuide has a very high rated 3 day or 4 day tour with a combination of hotels and some liveaboard action. Cheers

Io sono disabile causa un incidente di macchina avvenuto in Germania nel 2009 . Ho una moglie indonesiana e un figlio di 10 anni. Sono al momento in vacanza a Lombok. Un disabile può vedere le lucertole di Komodo su una delle isole??? Grazie

Ciao Giuseppe. Dovrai prendere una barca, ma sì, penso che sia possibile per una persona disabile vedere i draghi sull’isola di Komodo. La spiaggia è pianeggiante e facile da navigare. Grazie per il tuo commento!

Hi, I’m currently in Bali on a holiday. As I was walking in Seminyak, which is near the shops, I saw a massive Komodo dragon in one of the streams that are between two buildings. It was walking pretty fast and I couldn’t take a pic but yea I think there are Komodo dragons in Bali just very rare. That was crazy tho

Hi. That would be a monitor lizard, which looks kind of similar to a Komodo dragon, but a bit smaller. They are fairly common in Bali and always fun to see. 🙂

* Komodo Island

This island is one of the natural habitats of the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon. Many of them live on this island for free. People that live or visit this island don’t disturb this lizard because they know that Komodo is the one who rules this place.

Before finalizing your plans for the Komodo Boat Tour 3 Days, it’s advisable to consider several crucial factors to ensure a seamless experience. These include assessing the condition of the boat for overnight stays, coordinating with your flight schedules regarding arrival and departure times, and taking into account essential aspects such as meal arrangements.

Option A: Airport Pickup and Drop-off after the Tour

On day 1: kelor island – manjarite bay – kalong island..

Morning Arrival and Pickup: Upon your arrival at Komodo Airport in the morning or on picking up time at your hotel in Labuan Bajo, our professional team will be there to welcome you. We will assist you with your luggage and ensure a smooth transfer to the harbor where your boat awaits.

Kelor Island: Begin your adventure with a visit to Kelor Island, a gem known for its beautiful, clear waters and rich marine life. Here, you can engage in snorkeling activities, exploring the vibrant underwater world teeming with colorful fish and coral reefs. If you prefer, you can simply relax on the pristine sandy beaches, enjoying the serene environment and picturesque views.

Manjarite Bay: Next, we head to Manjarite Bay, another snorkeling paradise. The bay’s calm and clear waters make it an ideal spot for snorkeling, where you can swim among various marine species and admire the coral gardens. This location is perfect for underwater photography due to its excellent visibility.

Kalong Island: As the day winds down, we sail to Kalong Island. Here, you will witness a spectacular natural phenomenon – at sunset, thousands of fruit bats (flying foxes) emerge from the mangroves and soar into the sky. This is a mesmerizing sight, providing a unique end to your first day. Enjoy the beautiful sunset as it paints the sky in hues of orange and pink, creating a stunning backdrop for the bat flight.

The trek is moderately challenging, but the breathtaking scenery is well worth the effort.

Pink Beach: After your trek, we sail to the famous Pink Beach, named for its uniquely colored sand, which gets its hue from tiny fragments of red coral mixed with white sand. Here, you can snorkel in the clear waters, discovering a vibrant underwater ecosystem, or relax on the soft sand, enjoying the natural beauty of this rare beach.

Komodo Island: Our next destination is Komodo Island, the home of the world-renowned Komodo dragons. Accompanied by a knowledgeable park ranger, you will embark on a guided trek to observe these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. Learn about the biology and behavior of the Komodo dragon, as well as the island’s diverse flora and fauna.

Taka Makassar: A visit to Taka Makassar, a small sandbar surrounded by clear, shallow waters. This idyllic spot is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and leisurely strolls along the sandbar. The shallow waters make it a great place for children and less experienced swimmers to enjoy the sea safely.

Manta Point: The day’s final adventure takes you to Manta Point, a renowned snorkeling and diving site where you can encounter manta rays. These graceful giants often glide through the water in large numbers, and snorkeling alongside them is an unforgettable experience. The rich marine life and clear waters make this a highlight of your trip.

Overnight Stay: Spend another peaceful night on the boat. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal, share your day’s adventures with fellow travelers, and fall asleep to the gentle rocking of the boat.

The island’s coral reefs are home to a variety of marine species, making it a haven for snorkeling enthusiasts. Explore the underwater world, spotting colorful fish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral formations.

Sebayur Island: The final stop of your journey is Sebayur Island. Here, you can enjoy more snorkeling or simply relax on the beach. The island offers a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for unwinding and reflecting on your adventure.

Return to Labuan Bajo: In the afternoon, we begin our journey back to Labuan Bajo. As we sail back, take in the beautiful sea views one last time. Upon arrival in Labuan Bajo, we will assist with your transfer to the airport. To ensure a smooth departure, please schedule your flight for after 5 PM.

Sudamala resorts Seraya, is a real paradise. The staff is professional and very friendly. the service is perfect and the cuisine very good. They make you feel at home. The sea is heavenly, the coral reef is sensational. No criticism. We hope to come back one day! A special thanks to Hubert, Alfonso, Roberto, Nardi, Kory, Ana, Nico and other staff guys: YOU ARE TOP NUMBER 1!!! Andrea e Elisa

I visited this resort in May 2024 for three nights with a group of 9 other women on a sustainable eco trip with Chasin Clean Coasts. We only stayed in resorts with a strong commitment to sustainable travel and this one was exceptional - no plastic bottles, straws or toiletries. The young staff team were professional and friendly; nothing was too much trouble. Anna from the dive centre went out of her way to source something one of my fellow travellers asked for. The rooms and in fact the whole resort were immaculate. Staff collected trash from the sea and removed it daily. The food and service were excellent, we particularly enjoyed the Friday night beach buffet. Hubert and his team made us extremely welcome and all came to see us off at the end of our stay. They provided us with an amazing day trip to Komodo Island which included a hike to a fabulous viewpoint on Padar Island, lunch on Pink Beach and snorkelling, as well as a good look at the famous Komodo Dragons. The house reef is stunning for both coral and fish. I’ve snorkelled in many places and this is probably better than anywhere I have seen in the last 10 years. The resort provides free snorkel gear as well as paddle boards and kayaks. It's a slice of paradise and provided the peace we needed at the end of a busy two weeks.

• Sleep Quality
• Cleanliness

This remote resort is more than 5+ stars from our greeting on the dock from Hubert the resort manager and his staff to welcome drink and delivering our luggage to our rooms to the wonderful turn down service in the evenings. Their restaurant offers great selection and every selection we made was delicious and delivered by the eager staff with beautiful presentation. Breakfast was included and choices included menu items available, I suggest the Eggs Benedict or French toast, fresh fruit and smoothies which were delicious way to start your day. Their spa services were some of the most relaxing and again staff is very attentive to details beginning with a fabulous ginger and lemongrass drink made on premise served chilled with a wonderful rose smelling facial cloth to freshen up. The atmosphere here is very relaxed, with great snorkelling right off the beach in front of the bungalow. The staff is wonderful and very attentive and friendly always smiling. They offer snorkel/ scuba adventures, pick up from airport and delivered to the resort by boat. Also offers day trips to Komodo National Park and Pink Beach. The grounds are always being maintained by the staff and even with some additional construction for added rooms there was no noise. The beaches are cleaned by staff daily and you can see the pride they all take in making sure the grounds are always beautiful. The morning sunrise are spectacular. The resort is very Eco friendly, with no single use plastics and extra bathroom tissue wrapped in a beautiful cloth bag. Again attention to detail while being eco friendly. We all left feeling we had spent our time in a very special slice of heaven.

Paradise on a remote island.. Quiet location. Staff were awesome. Service and food are outstanding. We took the day excursion the resort offered and operated which included a hike to a beautiful view, pink beach, saw 9 Komodo dragons on Komodo Island and then an awesome snorkeling spot. Excellent day. Beautiful snorkeling in front of resort. I would highly recommend.

Thank you for your fantastic review! Dear Dreamer We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our location to be a slice of paradise. I It's wonderful that our staff, service, and food met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're glad you had such an excellent experience both on the excursion and snorkeling in front of the resort. We look forward to welcoming you back to our little piece of paradise! Best Regards Hubertus Busa Resort Manager

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The staff were friendly, very helpful, super attentive and always smiling. The rooms were fantastic, the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in in Asia! The food was great and fresh. The best part - they are doing what they can for the environment!!! No plastic bottles, toiletries or straws. Everyone cleaning every day. We did some diving, the full day tour, had the bbq and snorkelled along the reef. Everything was great! Can’t wait to be back!

Dear Elisa Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time. Your compliments about the friendly and attentive staff, the comfortable rooms, and the delicious, fresh food are greatly appreciated. It's also heartening to know that the hotel's environmental initiatives made a positive impact on your stay. We're excited to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience! Best Regards Hubertus Busa Resort Manager

“We are proud to introduce TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo as the latest addition to our portfolio,” says Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President at Marriott International, Indonesia & Malaysia . “This marks a noteworthy milestone for Marriott International as we extend our presence into the captivating landscapes of Labuan Bajo. We invite travelers to explore and connect with the soul of Flores island, where luxury seamlessly intertwines with the rich cultural treasures of this captivating destination.”

The name “TA’AKTANA”, meaning green land, is derived from the Manggarai language of Flores island and is an ode to Lingko Field, distinctive web shaped rice fields that serve as a cherished part of traditional Manggarai culture. Remaining true to its roots, the hotel embodies the destination's history, culture, and indigenous traditions, offering global explorers unique and authentic experiences of Labuan Bajo.

TA’AKTANA invites guests to discover Labuan Bajo's rich epicurean traditions with three distinctive restaurants, a lounge and bar, which authentically showcase the styles and presentations of the region’s cuisine. Leros is the hotel's all-day dining restaurant serving a curated menu influenced by Indonesia’s vast archipelago. Umasa features an authentic Indonesian culinary experience, served family-style, using products of local provenance. Taba , a Robata grill, specializes in carefully-sourced ingredients from the archipelago, prepared with Japanese techniques and finesse. Nera Lounge enchants guests with captivating sunset views while they savour a variety of tapas and an array of beverages, including crafted cocktails, coffee, and tea. Unwind at Maiga! , a vibrant bar with panoramic sea views, providing an innovative selection of re-interpreted quintessential drinks & snacks.

Guests can enjoy an invigorating workout in an exclusive Fitness Center , and for the ultimate indulgence, the hotel's Di'a Spa invites guests to be immersed in a serene sanctuary inspired by the mystical caves of Labuan Bajo. Featuring six private treatment rooms, a steam room, plunge pool and more, the spa invites guests to rejuvenate and reconnect with Mother Nature. With the resort’s stunning design providing the perfect backdrop, TA’AKTANA is poised to welcome all occasions, from business meetings with two spaces to choose from, to weddings with an oceanfront chapel.

“It is an honor to welcome guests to our haven in Labuan Bajo,” says Peter-Paul Kleiss, Resort Manager of TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo . “Our resort is not just a destination; it's a journey into the heart of Labuan Bajo’s heritage and breathtaking landscapes. The property is a testament to our commitment to providing a unique and authentic guest experience, where luxury meets tradition.
