TA'AKTANA

Nestled along the unspoilt shores of Labuan Bajo on the western edge of Flores Island, Indonesia, Ta’aktana is framed by the UNESCO-listed Komodo National Park and the turquoise waters of the Flores Sea. Thoughtfully designed and immersed in nature, the resort offers an elegant escape just minutes from Komodo International Airport. While close to the bustle of the port town, Ta’aktana lives up to its name, the Manggarai word for ‘green land’, creating a genuine sense of retreat. Overwater villas, tropical gardens, and ocean-facing pavilions invite guests to unwind, while a slow travel ethos encourages gentle discovery — whether diving among technicolour reefs, dining under the stars, or simply savouring the sea breeze from a private deck. A great choice for a luxury holiday to Indonesia.

Accommodation


Ta’aktana features 70 rooms, including beachfront and overwater villas with one to three bedrooms. Each space draws on Manggarai heritage, with locally crafted details that blend tradition and refined contemporary design. Guests can choose from garden or sea views, with many villas offering private pools, dedicated concierge services, and spacious balconies or terraces.

Food & Drink


Ta’aktana’s culinary offering celebrates the island’s natural bounty. At Leros, the signature restaurant, seafood and local produce are elevated into inventive, island-inspired dishes. Umasa, the all-day dining venue, serves relaxed Indonesian and international fare beneath an open-air canopy. For cocktails and light bites, Mansa Bar gazes out to sea, where drinks are infused with tropical herbs and regional spices. Each dining experience reflects the rhythm and flavour of Flores, delivered with finesse.

Experiences


With a prime waterfront location, Ta’aktana offers access to some of Indonesia’s most extraordinary marine life. Guests can embark on private boat excursions to Komodo National Park, home of the legendary Komodo dragon, or dive and snorkel through kaleidoscopic coral gardens. On land, curated experiences range from waterfall hikes and village visits to immersive workshops in traditional weaving and ceramics. The spa and wellness centre offers holistic treatments inspired by indigenous healing traditions.

Families


Ta’aktana warmly welcomes families, with a collection of two-bedroom villas and experiences tailored to all ages. The complimentary Kids Club operates daily from 9am to 6pm, offering a wide variety of activities designed to inspire and engage younger travellers.

Best Time to Visit


Labuan Bajo is a year-round destination, though April to June and September to November are particularly appealing, with dry days and calm seas, ideal for island-hopping and diving. From December to March, rainfall is more frequent, yet this off-season also sees the arrival of manta rays near Komodo National Park, making it a rewarding time for wildlife enthusiasts.

Getting There


The resort is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Komodo International Airport, which is served by daily flights from Bali (1 hour 20 minutes) and Jakarta (2 hours 20 minutes). Private transfers can be arranged on request.
