In the heart of Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Plataran Komodo has earned the prestigious “Best For Romance” award from Condé Nast Johansens. This global accolade celebrates the resort as the most romantic destination in the regions of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Maldives, and Oceania.

Indonesia, known for its wealth of stunning travel destinations, offers everything from pristine beaches to majestic mountains, lakes, and luxury resorts with panoramic views. Many of these locations have garnered worldwide recognition, but Plataran Komodo’s recent achievement highlights its unique appeal to couples and families alike.

Condé Nast Johansens, the global curator of luxurious hotels, resorts, and spas, is a trusted name in the hospitality industry. It is also part of the Condé Nast group, the publisher behind iconic magazines like Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair.

Yozua Makes, CEO of Plataran Indonesia, shared insight into the resort’s visitor profile, stating that around 85% of its guests are international travelers. “Of these, about 60% are couples,” he said during a press conference at Hutan Kota by Plataran Jakarta on Thursday (21/11/2024).

Guests from Europe and the United States dominate the resort’s international clientele. The largest groups hail from France, the Netherlands, the UK, and Italy. Makes emphasized that the resort’s allure continues to attract travelers year-round, with an average stay of two nights.

“The peak season is from April to September, when visitors come to enjoy sailing, but we encourage our guests to experience Labuan Bajo’s beauty beyond just sailing,” Makes explained.

Plataran Komodo has also introduced an innovative way for guests to immerse themselves in the local culture. The resort offers visits to nearby villages, located just 30-40 minutes away, for those eager to explore the traditions and lifestyle of the region.

This award marks another achievement for Plataran Komodo, following its recognition in 2023 when it won both the Global Winner for Luxury Beach Retreat and Regional Winner for Luxury Private Beach Resort at the World Luxury Hotel Awards. Additionally, TripAdvisor recently named it the top resort in East Nusa Tenggara, cementing its status as a must-visit destination.

With its stunning location and world-class offerings, Plataran Komodo continues to be a beloved spot for those seeking an unforgettable romantic getaway.
