Inspired by the iconic Lingko rice fields and indigenous tribal heritage, the resort's architecture and interior design incorporate rich native elements, such as traditional wooden longboat-style overwater villas and architectural motifs from the Wae Rebo heritage site. Beyond providing comfortable accommodations, the resort offers immersive cultural experiences, including visits to the ancient Wae Rebo village of the Manggarai tribe, traditional dance performances, and musical instrument workshops, allowing guests to deeply connect with local traditions. The on-site spa also utilizes indigenous natural resources to deliver unique wellness treatments. This profound integration and celebration of local culture make TA’AKTANA a benchmark for culturally driven hospitality.

Love the service and design of the hotel! A wonderful and satisfying experience. The hotel had a butler tagged to you who will attend to all your needs and drive you from one place to another. There are free activities (hiking at Sylvia hill and workout class) and evening drinks at the hotel. Free mini bar snacks too! The room was very spacious and comfortable! Furnishing was very on point!

We have been to TA'AKTANA end of April, it was our first time in Labuan Bajo and it was absolutely amazing from the time we arrived to the time we left. We took 1h flight from Bali and the hotel is only 5min from Komodo Airport, which is very convenient. We spent 3 nights there and it was perfect to do one day island hopping and still have time to enjoy the beautiful hotel and our villa, that has a pool. The food there is just another level, the breakfast can be enjoyed both from the buffet and a la carte, with so many western and local food. During our stay we had dinner at Leros, the all day dining, that was very good and also at Taba, japanese grill food that was spectacular! On our last night we planned to try Umasa (Indonesian food), but we loved so much Taba that we repeated it and no regrets. Our 2 years old boy had so much fun at their kids pool and Kids Club! It is small but super cute and the team there was always very attentive and creative with many activities, my son loved to spend time there! Our buttler James was amazing and helped make our stay smooth and memorable! Their gym is a paradise, the equipments are top quality and they even have a olympic swimming pool! We will definitely be back and recommend this hotel to anyone, honeymooners, couples or families!#labuanbajo #Taaktana #indonesia #luxuryhotel

TA'AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, is pleased to announce the first edition of Taba, an exclusive culinary collaboration celebrating innovative cuisine, taking place from 18 to 19 April 2025 at Taba restaurant, with a seven-course four-hands dinner with a Korean twist, presented by Chef William Rusli of Akira Back and TA'AKTANA's Japanese Sous Chef Imam Dharmawan. Chef William Rusli previously worked at Akira Back, which was named one of the “Best Restaurants and Bars of 2024” by Exquisite magazine. His cooking style combines the refinement of French cooking techniques, the delicacy and elegance of Japanese cuisine, and his own profound cultural heritage. His experience at the three-star Michelin restaurant Robuchon has greatly improved his ability to balance and precisely control flavors. The TA’AKTANA chef Imam Dharmawan who collaborated with him this time is good at combining traditional Japanese cooking techniques with modern innovations. The two chefs will select seasonal seafood and high-quality ingredients, skillfully combining modern Japanese cuisine with rich Korean flavors to present a unique menu for guests. To provide guests with a better dining experience, Adhya Group Chief Beverage Officer Voo Fahman and TA’AKTANA Bar Director Ocul Waedi carefully designed Indonesian-style cocktails. Voo Fahman, who has 17 years of bartending experience, believes that the best cocktail inspiration often comes from unexpected places, such as the sweetness of fresh fruit or the fragrance of earth. Inspired by the region’s rich spice trade and Indonesia’s diverse flavours, he teamed up with Ocul Waedi to create a sensory-driven cocktail experience where each cocktail pairs perfectly with the dish. Recommended dish: Chef Imam’s Tsukune, which showcases the rich taste of minced wagyu beef and foie gras, paired with the smoky “Bajo Mist Reverie” cocktail (made with scotch whisky, pandan leaves, lemongrass and ginger), opens a wonderful taste journey. Recommended dish: "TA'AKTANA roll", which combines Savoy shrimp, tamagoyaki, avocado and spicy crispy grains, paired with the fruity "Fiery Essence" (a clever combination of vodka, Flores hibiscus, orange and berries), is rich in layers and unforgettable. Recommended dish: Chef William’s “Catch of the Day” served with nori white butter sauce and crispy garnish, paired with the refreshing “Yuzu Sayawaka” cocktail (mixed with Tenque gin, yuzu sake, melon liqueur, fresh lime, vanilla and egg white). For the main course, we recommend Chef William’s juicy duck with classic side dishes, or premium wagyu beef ribs, both paired with the exquisite “Fake Americano” (made from Sugarcane Garden 3-star white rum, Campari, strawberry clarified liquid, vanilla and lactic acid), which will bring the dinner atmosphere to a climax.
