Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa

Tucked into a quiet cove on Waecicu Beach, just outside Labuan Bajo, Flores, Plataran Komodo is a low-key island retreat with one of the most coveted settings in Flores. With villas that open straight onto the sand, a private jetty for sunset drinks, and easy access to Komodo National Park, it’s the perfect base for travellers looking to combine nature, comfort and quiet on a luxury holiday to Indonesia.

Accommodation

A collection of wooden villas sits between the shoreline and forested hillside. Interiors are spacious and simply furnished, with high ceilings, open-air bathrooms and generous verandas. Some open directly onto the beach, while others feature private pools and sea views.

Food & Drink

Dining is relaxed and unfussy. Atlantis on the Rock is set on a rocky headland, serving fresh seafood and local dishes with panoramic views. Xanadu by the Sea offers all-day dining steps from the water, while the jetty bar is the best spot for a sundowner.

Activities

Guests can snorkel or kayak straight from the beach, or head out by boat to explore the islands and dive sites of Komodo National Park. The resort also arranges guided treks, village visits, and sunset hikes for those who want to explore beyond the shoreline.

Children

Children are welcome, though the peaceful atmosphere and remote setting make it best suited to older children or teens.

Best time to go

April to December is dry season, with calm seas and good visibility for snorkelling and diving.

How to get there

The resort is a 15–20 minute drive from Komodo Airport in Labuan Bajo. Private transfers are available.
