The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, announced the opening of TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo in one of Indonesia’s most scenic and distinctive leisure destinations. The waterfront property, 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 beauty of the Flores Sea.
Located in the heart of Labuan Bajo, the resort serves as a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park and is just steps away from an array of cultural attractions such as Mirror Stone Cave, Rumah Tenun, Melo Village, and more. Short, direct flights from Jakarta and Bali to Komodo International Airport, followed by a convenient 10-minute drive to TA’AKTANA, ensure seamless connectivity and easy access for discerning travellers.
"TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo, marks a significant landmark as not only the first property in East Nusa Tenggara for The Luxury Collection brand, but also the first for the Marriott International portfolio at large,” said Philipp Weghmann, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection.
“As we continue our global foray into the resort category, TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo, is a natural and stunning fit. The Luxury Collection provides today’s global travellers with rare experiences that are deeply reflective of the destination. Through that lens, we invite guests to discover the beauty and vibrant history of Labuan Bajo.”
Generously spread across 16 hectares and designed by ANP Interiors, TA’AKTANA features 70 guest rooms, including 25 villas and 45 suites that boast outdoor balconies with sweeping views of breathtaking sunsets. Seven overwater villas offer unrivalled luxury and tranquillity, celebrating the Indonesian Sea Nomads’ way of life. Known for living on handcrafted longboats, the curved interiors masterfully capture cultural significance with handcrafted wood finishings, rich textures, and airy layouts to celebrate the natural surroundings. Guest rooms also feature elegant furniture and artwork that reflect the region’s indigenous crafts. Those staying in a villa have access to a dedicated 24-hour butler, ensuring that every aspect of their stay is perfectly tailored to their preferences and needs.
