TA’AKTANA: a new resort on the map of Indonesia

TA’AKTANA Resort & Spa, a Luxury Collection, is nested between a labyrinth of wild forests and the sparkling coastline of the Flores Sea on the island of the same name, in Labuan Bajo, one of Indonesia’s most scenic and distinctive holiday destinations, which serves as the gateway to the Komodo National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is just steps away from many cultural attractions, such as Mirror Stone Cave, Rumah Tenun, Melo Village and many others.

Short direct flights from Jakarta and Bali to Komodo International Airport, followed by a convenient 10-minute drive to TAAKTANA, provide easy access to the resort for discerning travelers.

The Luxury Collection is part of Marriott’s global portfolio of more than 30 outstanding hotel brands. TA’AKTANA is Marriott International’s first hotel in Labuan Bajo and The Luxury Collection’s second hotel in Indonesia.

The name “TAAKTANA” is translated from the local language of the inhabitants of the island of Flores as “green land” and refers to the web-shaped pattern characteristic of the rice fields, which serve as a valuable part of the traditional culture of the Manggaraya people. Staying true to its roots, the hotel embodies the history, culture and local traditions of the place, offering explorers around the world a unique and authentic experience.

Spaciously spread across 16 hectares, TA’AKTANA Hotel provides accommodations in 70 rooms, including 25 villas and 45 suites with open-air balconies with stunning sunset views. The 7 overwater villas offer more privacy and butler service.

Airy layouts, intricate interiors, rich textures, handcrafted wood finishes, elegant furnishings, and artwork reflect the natural surroundings and rich local culture.

AMAN: Amanwana, Amandari, Amankila, Amanjiwo

Indonesia has always been attractive to travelers. In this archipelago, the Aman hotel group owns several very special properties: three hotels in Bali, one hotel in Java, a lodge hotel on Moyo Island and a sailboat – perhaps the quintessential immersive lifestyle and travel experience with Aman.

The vibrant traditions of the local people, the deep spirituality and breathtaking natural beauty of this volcanic archipelago provide the basis for the presence of Aman hotels located in different parts of the country. Each property offers its own unique history, cultural discovery and spectacular natural scenery, from the enchanting coastline of Amankila Bali to the pristine nature and rich marine life of Moyo Island with Amanwana Lodge.

• Nature rules the roost on Moyo Private Island, a 36,000-hectare nature reserve located in the coral-rich Flores Sea. This wildlife lover’s paradise is home to Amanwana Lodge, with 12 safari tents set in the rainforest and on the beach. With minimal environmental impact and completely eco-friendly, the tents feature wooden floors, and under light air-conditioned awnings there are spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms and king-size beds covered with netting. Friendly macaques and curious deer are frequent visitors, and this is just part of the variety of wildlife that awaits guests inland or at sea.

• Inspired by a traditional Balinese village, Amandari Hotel is surrounded by jungle and rice terraces and is located in the cultural heart of Bali. The detached ylang-ylang-roofed lodges, some with private pools, are surrounded by tropical gardens where guests can relax under bamboo canopies. The rooms are exquisitely decorated in teak and coconut wood, with traditional Balinese batik and silk furnishings. The hotel area is both a sacred place for local residents and an integral part of their lives: children attend dance classes here, and religious processions regularly parade past the hotel, following the steps leading from Amandari to the 7th-century stone tiger, an artistic feature that is repeated throughout the hotel. Guests can wander through the village and beyond, strolling or cycling through the emerald green landscape, or venture further afield to visit the artisan villages, hidden temples, and palaces and boutiques of Ubud.

• Situated on a high hillside with stunning views of the Lombok Strait in the historic district of Karangasem on Bali’s east coast, the hotel is dominated by Mount Agung. The resort’s decor features numerous references to Balinese culture, with patterns inspired by the Water Palace in nearby Ujung; in stone there is paras, which is used to decorate the Pavilions standing on stilts and covered with ylang-ylang; and in the stunning infinity pool, which cascades in three tiers from a hillside reminiscent of a rice plantation. The hotel area, stretching from the top of the hill to its own beach, is located close to original temples and villages.
