 Marriott has expanded its portfolio of Luxury
Collection resorts in Indonesia with the opening of a waterfront
property in Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores in East Nusa
Tenggara province.

The Ta’aktana, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa is
located a 10-minute drive from Komodo International Airport (LBJ)
and is within walking distance from an array of cultural
attractions such as Mirror Stone Cave, Rumah Tenun, Melo Village
and more.

“Ta’aktana, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa,
Labuan Bajo, marks a significant landmark as not only the first
property in East Nusa Tenggara for The Luxury Collection brand,
but also the first for the Marriott International portfolio at
large,” said Philipp Weghmann, Vice President and Global Brand
Leader, The Luxury Collection. “As we continue our global foray
into the resort category, Ta’aktana, a Luxury Collection Resort &
Spa, Labuan Bajo is a natural and stunning fit. The Luxury
Collection provides today’s global travelers with rare experiences
that are deeply reflective of the destination, and through that
lens we invite guests to discover the beauty and vibrant history
of Labuan Bajo.”

Spread across 16 hectares and designed
by ANP Interiors, Ta’aktana features a total of 70 guest rooms including
45 suites and 25
villas with 24-hour butler service.

“We are proud to introduce Ta’aktana, a Luxury

to Lingko Field, distinctive web shaped rice fields that serve as
a cherished part of traditional Manggarai culture.
