Hotels by Location | East Nusa Tenggara | Flores Area

Flores is one of Indonesia’s most beautiful islands, its shores ringed by white sand beaches and clear blue waters and its highlands marked by forest covered volcanic slopes and mountain lakes, including the famous three colored lakes of Mount Kelimutu.

Flores is also renowned as one of the best spots for water sports in Indonesia, offering visitors excellent swimming, snorkeling, and diving and glimpses of a colorful array of tropical marine life. And the island also is home to a fascinating blend of cultural influences, with local indigenous traditions, including gorgeous arts and crafts, complemented by a strong dose of Portuguese brought by the island’s former colonizers, and a deep faith in Catholicism. Most travelers base themselves in Maumere, the island’s largest town, or in Labuanbajo, a popular resort area. Both spots offer travelers a good choice of accommodations and a delightful range of dining choices, including fresh seafood from Flores waters.
