Presenting Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa, where every moment is a journey into serenity and every dish is a celebration of Indonesia’s rich flavours.
Few know of the wonders that await at Labuan Bajo, a town located on the westernmost tip of Flores, Indonesia. A former fishing site, this quaint destination has now emerged as an exotic destination waiting to be explored. An undiscovered paradise, Labuan Bajo doubles as the gateway to the UNESCO-protected Komodo National Park where one can spot Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Here, one can even climb to the peaks of Padar Island, sink your toes in the sand on the famous Pink Beach, or even visit Kalong Island — also known as Bat Island — whose thousands of resident bats create an extraordinary sight when they take flight around sunset. Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa serves as the apt stay option to make these explorations better.
Introducing Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa
Located in the UNESCO-listed Komodo National Park, Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa is a true Labuan Bajo resort tucked away in a small cove on Waecicu Beach. When here, guests can immerse in luxury and seclusion, all while soaking in the sun-kissed days of relaxation and adventure in Indonesia’s untouched region. Founded by couplepreneurs, lecturers, and philanthropists Yozua Makes and Dewi Makes, this luxury resort boasts of being the first of its kind in the region.
At the heart of the Plataran philosophy are three X factors – eXoticism, eXperience and eXcellence – which are embodied in the resort’s character and operations — from the architecture and interior design of the properties, to the exquisite culinary offerings, unique destination experiences, and warm personalised service. Excellence and the beautiful spirit of Indonesia reside in every detail, and are thoughtfully crafted to deliver a completely authentic and enriching guest experience.
“We’ve always taken great pride in our journey, showcasing what we call ‘Hospitality With Impact,’ acknowledging our close connection with nature, culture, and community,” reveals Yozua, CEO and Founder of Plataran Indonesia, adding, “We’re a homegrown Indonesian hospitality group, and our vision has been clear from the start: ‘for Indonesia and Indonesians,’ to make meaningful contributions to our beloved Indonesia and its people. It’s about sharing the treasure trove of natural and cultural wonders that this remarkable archipelago holds with the world.”
Tropical Fun
With 18 exclusive residences on offer, this sanctuary promises private beachfront living with some of the best sunset views, modern amenities, and traditional charm. Each element converges to create a distinctive, authentic, and contemporary experience — be it the personalised butler service that promises heartfelt hospitality or tropical experiences that also bring in elements of sustainability.
Take the resort’s architecture, for instance. Built in a traditional heritage style that is further accentuated by cultural experiences, the resort’s interiors and exteriors evoke an experiential feeling unlike any other. When here, indulge in a culinary journey with iconic picnic breakfasts on pristine shores or intimate romantic dinners under starry skies; tune to the sounds of the ocean waves while enjoying the signature beach bonfire barbecue; or take off for thrilling water sports with Lost Paradise. And if nothing fits your schedule, trust the private butler to customise an experience that is tailored to your itinerary.
Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa houses a private jetty–which offers easy access to Plataran Private Cruises–that makes these aquatic adventures possible. Encounter schools of fish, dolphins, and coral formations by snorkelling in calm waters or sail across the ocean as the sun sets into the horizon. With the resort’s curated experiences, one can even form deeper connections with the local culture, indulge in wellness activities, or simply sit back and soak in the pristine environs. Consider venturing beyond the premises to explore natural wonders such as Komodo Island, Taka Makassar Island, Rinca Island, and Komodo National Park by hopping onto the Plataran Private Cruise that offers a phinisi and yacht, both. If that wasn’t enough, Plataran Komodo is also rich with local culture and traditions of Manggarai, such as the Caci Dance and Tiba Meka welcome ritual. In short, expect a truly rounded experience!
Hospitality with Impact
If you wish to give back to nature, culture and community while enjoying the epitome of hospitality, partake in coral preservation activities offered by Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa. Even the dining experiences here come complete with locally-inspired meals featuring ingredients sourced from nearby villages, in turn promoting cultural preservation and allowing the local communities to thrive. What’s more — the resort welcomes guests to engage and give back, forging a deep connection with the local communities and leaving an indelible mark of positive impact.
No matter what the occasion, head to Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa for a private stay customised to your liking. It’ll be nothing short of luxurious!
