Flores and Komodo Islands
Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa
Menu
Set on a secluded stretch of pink-tinged beach within the protected waters of Komodo National Park, Plataran Komodo offers a rare sense of remoteness paired with thoughtful, low-impact luxury.
Surrounded by uninhabited islands, crystal-clear seas and dramatic volcanic landscapes, this is a destination that feels truly off-grid, yet within the resort, there is a strong sense of comfort and refinement, with traditional Indonesian design woven seamlessly into its natural surroundings.

Facilities & Activities
Life here revolves around the ocean. The resort sits beside vibrant coral reefs, making snorkelling directly from the beach one of its greatest highlights—expect clear waters teeming with marine life. Diving excursions can be arranged to explore some of Indonesia’s most celebrated underwater sites, while boat trips venture deeper into the national park in search of secluded beaches and iconic landscapes.
Paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling and sunset cruises form part of the daily rhythm. However guided excursions to see the famous Komodo dragons are a key experience, whilst trips to local waterfalls and caves are also available for those seeking an adventure in the lush interior of Flores. You can also even venture into Wae Rebo, in the jungle-laden central area, to learn more about the local culture.
Back at the resort, a beachfront infinity pool offers a calm place to unwind, while the Padma Spa provides a small but serene sanctuary for traditional treatments created with local herbs and ingredients which can even be enjoyed outside. If you’re looking to keep active, head to the Fitness Centre or walk up Plataran Hill to the stunning sunset viewing point.
Evenings are quiet and atmospheric, shaped by the sounds of the sea and the absence of light pollution.

Accommodation takes the form of traditional-style Residences, designed to reflect Indonesia’s rich architectural heritage while offering modern comforts. Each is positioned to maximise privacy and views, whether facing the ocean or set within tropical gardens.
Deluxe Garden and Beachfront Residences are surrounded by lush greenery / just steps from Waecicu Beach with spacious verandas, allowing for easy indoor-outdoor living. Interiors are warm and characterful, with handcrafted furnishings and natural materials throughout. The Honeymoon Residences have far-reaching views overlooking Monkey Island and the Ocean.
Larger are the Exclusive Modern Residences and Ecotourism Sanctuary Residences, whilst the Presidential Pool Residences and Duplex Pool Residences also include a private pool. For something rather special, why not book a Hanging Pool Residence on the hillside, with spellbinding scenic views?
