Holiday apartment in Komodo National Park

A holiday apartment in Komodo National Park offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Impressive nature and experience Komodo National Park like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

The Komodo National Park in the Lesser Sunda Islands between Flores and Sumbawa is home to the largest living reptile on Earth: the Komodo dragon. These lizards, which can grow up to three meters long and weigh 70 kilograms, are the last survivors of a prehistoric line of reptiles and live exclusively on a few islands of this UNESCO World Heritage site. About 3,000 specimens roam the dry savannas and monsoon forests of the islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar.

A guided hike on Rinca or Komodo Island accompanied by experienced rangers brings visitors to a safe distance from these impressive predators. The dragons often lie seemingly lethargic in the sun but can strike with lightning speed — their venomous bite and the bacteria in their saliva make them efficient hunters. In addition to the dragons, the park is home to Timor ponies, water buffalo, macaques, and a rich birdlife.

The underwater world of the national park is as spectacular as its land inhabitants: strong currents bring nutrient-rich water and attract manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles to the colorful coral walls. The viewpoint on Padar Island, accessible via a challenging hike, offers a panoramic view of three differently colored bays — pink, white, and black — and is considered one of the most beautiful photo spots in Indonesia. Pink Beach, named after its pink shimmering sand, invites snorkeling in crystal clear water. The best time to visit is from April to December, with access by boat from Labuan Bajo on Flores.
