Pantai Wae Rana

Labuan Bajo serves up jaw-dropping sunrises and sunsets over serene beaches, turquoise waters, and lush hills—an adventure lover’s paradise! 🌞🌊🌄 With affordable hotels that boast incredible views, your wallet and your senses will both be very happy here. Kick off your Komodo itinerary at Kelor Island Beach with mountain trekking for panoramic shots of the islands dotted across sparkling blue seas—pro tip: hike at sunrise for golden light and cooler air! 📸 Next, dive into Moringa Snorkeling Beach (FR27+8WV): the reefs here explode with color, and sunny weather means visibility is crystal-clear. Don’t miss the Baby Shark spot nearby, where you can glimpse baby sharks gliding through the shallows—open all day for spontaneous encounters! Head back to Labuan Bajo for local gems like Pantai Wae Rana (GVFJ+86W): great for relaxing, gentle swimming, and those calmly vibrant sunset views framed by lush greenery. Pantai Binongko (GVCJ+79X) is quieter—think glassy waters, boats bobbing in the afternoon sun, and endless horizon shots. Both beaches are ideal for mid-day picnics and nature close-ups. Labuan Bajo tip: Many hotels (even budget ones) offer stunning sea or hill views—just double-check balconies or rooftop access before you book. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, good trekking shoes, and an underwater camera or phone case for those epic water shots. Always check the currents, and avoid solo swimming late in the day. #LabuanBajo #KomodoIslands #NatureLover #SunsetChaser #TravelTips

Loccal Collection Hotel Komodo

Just dropped into Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency — and honestly, if you need an escape from city chaos (or your job drama), this is THE spot for pure relaxation and epic sea views 🌊😎! Everything here is a chill vibe booster, but a healthy body helps you enjoy the adventure, so bring your positive energy. Must-See Places in Labuan Bajo 1. Loccal Collection Hotel Komodo Address: Komodo, West Manggarai Regency This hotel looks straight outta Santorini! Think blue-and-white magic, with unreal sunset views right from your room. It’s literally Instagram gold at every corner, and the super-friendly staff go above and beyond. Breakfast is a win (try the fried bananas & pizza), and they pack meals for early tours. Bonus: You’re close to the port and city center, so exploring is super easy 🚢. (Tip: Ask upfront about transport options—they’re sometimes a tad confusing!) 2. Bukit Amelia Sea Labuan Bajo A solid hike leads you to sweeping panoramas of the Flores Sea—bring your camera for the views and sunset! The spot doesn’t require crazy fitness (just be reasonably healthy), and locals are warm and welcoming 💁♂️. 3. Bukit Sylvia Another hilltop chill zone with dreamy sunrise vibes. Not as crowded, perfect for a quiet moment or just soaking up nature. Getting Around Use local taxis or arrange transfers via your hotel—things are close but walking between hills is a workout! Wear sturdy shoes, stay hydrated, and consider renting a scooter for max freedom. Best weather is March–October—pack light, breezy clothes! #LabuanBajo #FloresIsland #SunsetChasers #HotelHeaven #Tripdotcom
