Flores
Island in Indonesia has been overshadowed by Bali for a long time.
But with the coming of great resorts in Labuan Bajo, such as PlataranKomodo Beach Resort, the trickle of travelers coming in has
transformed into a river, making the island a popular choice for
holiday-making by the beach.
The
3-star resort is a private, serene, and intimate haven for guests
seeking a peaceful getaway. It is a mere 15-minute boat ride from the
main town of Labuan Bajo. This coast town is a small fishing village
that also provides several trekking and underwater activities to
tourists. From the airport, the Labuan Bajo Pier is a 15-minute drive
away, and from the harbor, the resort provides free pick-up transfer
by speedboat to guests going to the island.
As
a destination, what puts this place on the map is its rich and
colorful marine life. It is surrounded by coral reefs, and the
islands of Komodo and Rinca, which are both accessible by boat from
the resort, are famous for some of the most spectacular diving in the
region.
These
isolated islands are home to the most tempestuous waters in
Indonesia, but at the same, along the rip tides are large schools of
pelagic fish. Divers find dolphins, sharks, manta rays, and blue
whales in abundance here. If you add the beautiful stretch of corals,
then there is really nothing more to ask for, and all that is left to
do is to simply enjoy some of the best diving in the world. The best
time for this is between April and September.
After
all of the activities under water, find retreat in the comforts
provided by Plataran Komodo Beach Resort. In between swimming with
clown fishes and whale sharks, spend some time on a leisurely morning
snuggling on hammocks under the shade, or maybe savoring luxurious
private dinners by the shores of Waecicu Beach at night.
The
accommodation presented here come in villas with a traditional
Javanese design. Each of the Superior, Deluxe, Limasan, and Waececu
Villas features a private terrace and large windows, which open to
tropical garden and beachfront views. For a more relaxing experience,
the guestrooms are equipped with amenities that meet all requirements
of a satisfying stay. These include king beds, a mini-bar, private
bathroom, torch light, and mosquito coil and repellent. There is also
an outdoor pool that overlooks the beach, and water sports are also
available. Similarly, there is an open-air restaurant and bar that
serves authentic Indonesian dishes, superb seafood, and international
cuisines.
With
all these conveniences, it is hardly any guesswork why the island
receives its steady share of visitors. The resorts
in Labuan Bajo have put together a very special experience
for travelers, one that they will treasure and keep coming back to.
