Laprima Hotel
Pantai Pede, Labuan Bajo 86554, Pede Beach, East Nusa Tenggara, Flores Island, 5+62 385 2443700. 88 rooms. Pool, exercise area, massage room. Complimentary breakfast; 2 restaurants, 1 cafe, 1 bar, room service. Parking; free airport transfer every 30 minutes.
Located near the airport and only a 5 minute walk from town, this contemporary hotel overlooks Peda Beach on Laprima Bay, which flows into the Flores Sea leading to Komodo Island. My room had an expansive water view and small balcony that allowed me to enjoy the beautiful sunset and the early light at sunrise.
It is contemporary style, with an open-air lobby and white-tiled wide halls. Rooms are large, with an open closet and bed covered in a white duvet.
The lovely infinity pool is accented with plenty of substantial wood lounge chairs, a tad of grass, and a very small strip of sand that is littered with debris—a common problem in these parts.
The bathroom features a Toto toilet and sink, black marble counter with raised white ceramic bowl sink, and sometimes hot water (another common problem in these parts). I liked the amenity raffia slippers enough to keep them and use them for the rest of my trip. In the breakfast room, I met some locals who were dressed in suits made from the island’s prized hand-woven textiles that use only natural dyes and hand-spun cotton.
More things to do on Flores Island.
More things to do in nearby Bali.
More ideas for exploring Asia and the South Pacific.
