Komodo Resort

Komodo Island

With an idyllic island location and thatched villas just feet from the shoreline, the Komodo Resort epitomises remote beauty. Marine life in the Komodo National Park is some of the most fascinating and diverse in the Indonesian archipelago, and the resort’s day cruises and stay-aboards are a superb way for experienced divers to access it, while beginners can stay closer to shore. For those who’d rather stick to snorkelling, there are beautiful coral gardens and reefs. The resort also allows immediate access to the islands and their most famous residents, the Komodo dragons.

When not diving, or looking for dragons, you can relax in your own private oasis. The resort’s teak bungalows are a few metres from the beach, with private terraces facing the sea. A number of traditional local boats are used for diving safaris, where guests sleep in shared cabins or on mattresses on deck, but for the diving cruises there are gorgeous schooners with air-conditioned wood-lined cabins. The restaurant serves classic Indonesian and traditional Italian dishes, and the small bar, with its sweeping sea views, is an ideal spot to unwind after a day exploring the water.

Location

On the southern tip of tiny Sebayur Besar Island, about an hour and 40 minutes by boat from Labuan Bajo, the Komodo Resort is in one of the most extraordinary island locations in Indonesia.

From a client…

My partner and I both had some of the best diving experiences we’ve ever had, despite being at quite different skill levels. The diving safari in particular was a real highlight.

Diving utopia

Watching the rich diversity of marine life beneath the waves around Komodo is on the bucket list of many keen divers, and for excellent reason. These waters are home to a staggering array of creatures, from spiny devilfish and pygmy seahorses flitting around the coral on the house reef, to manta rays and reef sharks gliding through deeper waters. Whether you’re a beginner finding your underwater feet with a spot of snorkelling, or an experienced diver aiming to further their PADI qualifications with expeditions on live-aboard boats, the Komodo Resort covers all bases.

Ultimate Sustainability

Being in the Komodo National Park region means respecting certain sustainability criteria, including strongly discouraging guests from snorkelling straight from the beach as this risks damaging the fragile corals near the shore. Instead, guests are advised to snorkel from the private jetty which takes you straight out to the house reef. The resort has been sensitively designed to blend into its surroundings, and its thatched bungalows sit unobtrusively against the landscape.
