Flores & Komodo
Eastern Indonesia's most spectacular island pairing — Flores is a Catholic island of volcanic crater lakes at Kelimutu, traditional villages, and extraordinary overwater scenery; Komodo National Park next door protects the last Komodo dragons on earth alongside some of the finest diving in the world. The Pink Beach of Komodo is the only pink sand beach in Indonesia.

What guests say
“Good base in Labuan Bajo for Komodo boat trips and Kelimutu tours. The organized liveaboard trip from here was excellent value and well-run.”

“The most extraordinary resort opening in Indonesia — cliff-top infinity pools above the Komodo National Park waters, extraordinary food, and world-class diving from the beach.”

- ✓The best Komodo diving is on liveaboard boats (2-3 nights) not day trips from Labuan Bajo
- ✓Kelimutu crater lakes change color (blue, green, black) depending on mineral activity — check recent reports
- ✓Komodo dragons are genuinely dangerous — stay with a guide at all times on the islands
- ✓The Pink Beach requires a boat from Labuan Bajo — combine with diving at nearby Crystal Rock
- ✓Flores overland is spectacular but slow — flying Labuan Bajo to Maumere for the return saves significant time
