The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, proudly announces the opening of TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, in Labuan Bajo, one of Indonesia’s most scenic and distinctive leisure destinations. This waterfront property, which is Marriott International’s first in Labuan Bajo and The Luxury Collection’s second property in Indonesia, is nestled between a canopy of surrounding wild forests and the stunning Flores Sea.
Situated in the heart of Labuan Bajo, the resort serves as a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park. It is conveniently located near cultural attractions such as Mirror Stone Cave, Rumah Tenun, and Melo Village. Short direct flights from Jakarta and Bali to Komodo International Airport, followed by a quick 10-minute drive, ensure easy access for discerning travelers.
Spread generously across 16 hectares and designed by ANP Interiors, TA’AKTANA features 70 guest rooms, including 25 villas and 45 suites, all with outdoor balconies offering breathtaking sunset views. The resort’s seven overwater villas provide unrivaled luxury and tranquility, celebrating the Indonesian Sea Nomads’ lifestyle. These villas feature curved interiors with handcrafted wood finishes, rich textures, and airy layouts that harmonize with the natural surroundings. The guest rooms are elegantly furnished with artwork reflecting the region’s indigenous crafts, and villa guests enjoy 24-hour butler service for a personalized stay.
The name “TA’AKTANA,” meaning green land, is derived from the Manggarai language of Flores island and pays homage to the distinctive web-shaped rice fields of Lingko Field, a cherished part of traditional Manggarai culture. True to its roots, the hotel embodies the destination’s history, culture, and indigenous traditions, offering global explorers unique and authentic experiences of Labuan Bajo.
TA’AKTANA invites guests to explore Labuan Bajo’s rich culinary traditions with three distinctive restaurants, a lounge, and a bar, each showcasing the region’s cuisine. Leros, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, serves a curated menu influenced by Indonesia’s vast archipelago. Umasa offers an authentic Indonesian culinary experience, served family-style, with locally sourced products. Taba, a Robata grill, specializes in ingredients from the archipelago prepared with Japanese techniques. Nera Lounge enchants guests with sunset views, tapas, and an array of beverages, including crafted cocktails, coffee, and tea. Maiga!, a vibrant bar with panoramic sea views, offers an innovative selection of reinterpreted quintessential drinks and snacks.
Guests can enjoy an invigorating workout in the exclusive Fitness Center. For ultimate relaxation, the hotel’s Di’a Spa offers a serene sanctuary inspired by the mystical caves of Labuan Bajo. With six private treatment rooms, a steam room, and a plunge pool, the spa invites guests to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature. TA’AKTANA also provides a stunning backdrop for all occasions, from business meetings to weddings, with two meeting spaces and an oceanfront chapel available.
TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, is now open in Labuan Bajo, inviting travelers to experience the beauty and culture of this remarkable destination.
