Where to Stay in Flores Island

Accommodation in Flores ranges from modern hotels in Labuan Bajo to simple homestays in smaller coastal towns. Labuan Bajo has the most developed infrastructure with international-standard hotels and dive resorts catering to Komodo-bound travelers. Maumere offers comfortable mid-range hotels with access to the bay's dive sites, while Riung provides basic but charming bungalows near the Seventeen Islands. For the adventurous, local homestays throughout the island offer an authentic cultural immersion experience at very affordable prices. Liveaboards departing from Labuan Bajo and Maumere provide an excellent alternative for accessing the most remote dive sites along the coast. In the highland areas like Ende and Bajawa, guesthouses often feature spectacular views of the volcanic peaks and provide easy access to traditional villages. Many of the newer eco-resorts are focusing on sustainable tourism, using renewable energy and locally sourced materials to minimize their impact on the environment. Whether you are looking for a luxury villa with a view of the Komodo archipelago or a quiet room in a traditional village, Flores has a wide array of options to suit every type of traveller.
