Hotel of the Month – TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort and Spa, Labuan Bajo

Opened this spring, TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo offers guests a unique opportunity to explore Indonesia’s astonishing Flores Island.

The waterfront property is nestled between a canopy of surrounding wild forests and the beauty of the Flores Sea and serves as a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park, one of only a handful of places in the world to see endangered Komodo dragons in their natural environment.

Generously spread across 16 hectares, TA’AKTANA features 70 guest rooms including 25 villas and 45 suites that boast outdoor balconies with sweeping views. Those staying in a villa have access to a dedicated 24-hour butler, ensuring that every aspect of their stay is perfectly tailored to their preferences and needs.

TA’AKTANA invites guests to discover Labuan Bajo’s rich epicurean traditions with three distinctive restaurants, a lounge and bar. 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 local products. Taba specialises 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 while Maiga! is a vibrant bar with panoramic sea views.

Guests can enjoy an invigorating workout in an exclusive Fitness Centre, and for the ultimate indulgence, the hotel’s Di’a Spa features six private treatment rooms, a steam room, plunge pool and more. The property also offers event spaces and an oceanfront chapel.
