Reached by a short boat ride from Labuan Bajo, Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa occupies Waecicu Beach at the gateway to Komodo National Park. Beachfront villas and private residences use Indonesian timber, pitched roofs and shaded terraces, with sea views and direct access to the sand. Xanadu serves open-air meals by the water, and Atlantis Beach Club brings a livelier setting for drinks and sunset dining. Padma Spa, a swimming pool, beachfront yoga and private boat excursions connect the resort’s sheltered bay with the wider islands and reefs.
