Take a Trip to Komodo Island with Our Komodo National Park Hotels Team

Komodo Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the iconic Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards, and although there is a scarcity of Komodo national park hotels, our Flores Island hotels staff and the helpful Sumba Island resort team in concert with the Secret Retreats Concierge team are ready to put together an itinerary tailored for you including how to get to Komodo, where to stay, and what to see. From Labuan Bajo, you and your family can book a liveaboard adventure on one of our Secret Cruises or take a day trip to Komodo Island. Witness the awe-inspiring Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. Apart from these prehistoric creatures, other attractions on Komodo Island recommended by our Komodo resorts team include Pink Beach where you will experience the surreal beauty where the sand takes on a rosy hue. Snorkel amidst the vibrant coral reefs and enjoy the tranquility of this secluded paradise. Komodo National Park is a definite favorite with all our Komodo national park hotels staff. Explore the stunning marine biodiversity which stretches across multiple islands. Sail these beautiful waters on a private charter phinisi yacht or a join-in cabin cruise, go diving, and witness incredible underwater landscapes. Hike to the top of Padar Island for breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding islands and turquoise waters. The dramatic landscape of jagged hills and pristine beaches will leave you in awe and without doubt one of the best ways to enjoy the Komodo National Park is by boat from 1 to 8 cabins for private charter or aboard our 12-cabin schooner, the Ombak Putih Liveaboard, which is available for join-in cabin cruises.

Step back in Time with Secret Retreats and Our Spectacular Sumba Island Hotels

Sumba Island, also known as the ‘Land of the Megalithic’ offers an entirely different experience through Sumba Island hotels. With its traditional villages, stunning beaches, and their unique Pasola Festival, this island is just waiting to be discovered. Stay in a fabulous Sumba island resort in Waikabubak or Waingapu, the two major towns, and venture out to explore the island's remarkable sights. Ask our Sumba hotels team about arranging a visit the traditional villages of Tarung and Kodi to witness the renowned Sumbanese architecture and impressive megalithic tombs. The traditional villages are known for their distinct thatched-roof houses and intricate wood carvings. If you happen to be there during the Pasola Festival (held in February or March), you'll have the opportunity to witness the exhilarating mock battle on horseback, a centuries-old tradition.

For nature enthusiasts, head to Weekuri Lagoon. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters surrounded by limestone cliffs. This serene lagoon offers a unique swimming experience, and you can organize travel to the lagoon through your best resort in Sumba before taking a refreshing dip or simply relaxing while soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. Marvel at the cascading waterfalls of Lapopu, Mbawana, and Tanggedu, which offer a serene, picturesque backdrop for those seeking a touch of tranquility.
