Winner of Exquisite Awards 2024 – Best New Ultra Luxury Resort: TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
Positioned along the serene shores of the Flores Sea and encircled by lush wild forests, TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo offers travellers an unrivalled holiday experience. The resort’s name, which means green land in the Manggarai language, honours Flores’ iconic Lingko Fields, rice paddies arranged in intricate, web-like formations cherished in local culture.
Designed by ANP Interiors, TA’AKTANA boasts 70 guest accommodations, including 25 villas and 45 suites. Each room is crafted to inspire, with private balconies that showcase sweeping sunset views. Signature overwater villas invite guests into the spirit of Indonesia’s Sea Nomads, with interiors inspired by the nomadic longboats these seafarers once called home. The villas’ artful wood finishes, rich textures, and light-filled spaces pay homage to cultural traditions, enhanced with elegant artisanal furniture and indigenous artwork.
Inspired by Indonesia’s rich epicurean landscape, TA’AKTANA offers three distinctive restaurants and two lounges that invite culinary exploration. Leros, the all-day dining restaurant, presents a curated menu that captures the diversity of the Indonesian archipelago, alongside International-inspired flavours. Umasa delivers a true taste of Indonesian cuisine, served family-style and crafted from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Taba, specialising in Robata grill fare, combines carefully selected ingredients from across the archipelago with Japanese cooking techniques, elevating each dish’s natural flavours. While Maiga! Bar enchants with its expansive sea views and inventive selection of reinvented cocktails that embody local flavours with international sophistication, the Nera Lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset with a curated selection of light bites and artisan teas. In the evening, indulge in fine wines, whiskies and cigars.
For those seeking tranquillity, the Di’a Spa offers a serene sanctuary inspired by the mystical caves of Labuan Bajo. Featuring six private treatment rooms, a sauna room, a plunge pool and other wellness amenities, the spa provides a rejuvenating escape where guests can reconnect with nature.
