Ta’aktana, A Luxury Collection Resort and Spa Labuan Bajo
History & Story
The name “TA’AKTANA”, meaning green land, is derived from the Manggarai language of Flores island and is an ode to Lingko Field, distinctive web shaped rice fields that serve as a cherished part of traditional Manggarai culture. Remaining true to its roots, the hotel embodies the destination’s history, culture, and indigenous traditions, offering global explorers unique and authentic experiences of Labuan Bajo. Designed to echo the soul of its surroundings, TA’AKTANA proudly unveils its immersive design philosophy—a curated expression of land and sea, a poetic homage to the region’s natural beauty, rich culture, and storied past.
