TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
Overview Escape from the rest of the world at this dreamy destination in the heart of Labuan Bajo, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara.

Room for Two The Overwater Sea Villa is designed with couples in mind. The seven villas perch above tranquil waters, telling captivating stories of the locale through their design. Inspired by the stilt houses of the Bajau people, guests will find tactile accents in their rooms, from glossy fossil woods to upcycled stingray leather. Handcrafted macramé, carpets, and ikat-inspired textiles vibrantly decorate the space. On top of it all, expect dedicated butler service and high-end amenities (a bijou bottle of Billecart-Salmon Champagne in the minibar, anyone?).
Explore When you’re ready to leave the plush comfort of your villa, join immersive excursions such as Island Hopping, which includes a visit to Komodo National Park, a snorkelling tour, a sunrise or sunset trek, and heritage workshops. The latter includes learning to play the Sasando harp and understanding Manggarai’s traditional clothing. End the day with a Di’a Ritual for Two at Di’a Spa, which blissfully features a four-hand massage.
Food & Drinks Breakfast can be enjoyed at Leros, an all-day dining restaurant featuring Indonesian regional cuisines. For sunsets, head to Nera Lounge for tapas, tipples, and mesmerising views.
