History of Plataran Private Cruises

Furthermore, it provides significant economic benefits to local communities.

REVIEW – Plataran Komodo: Duplex Pool Villa

plataran komodo cruise

Plataran Komodo

  • Location: Komodo, Indonesia
  • Rate:  $535 per night for two bedrooms ( via Hotels.com )
  • Room Type: Duplex Pool Villa
  • Chain: Plataran

Since Plataran is a lesser known hotel chain without an established loyalty program I opted to book this stay via Hotels.com .

I would never use Hotels.com for one of the major chains since I’d lose out on elite status. On this occasion though their rate was better than what Plataran was offering directly, plus Hotels.com effectively gives you a 10% rebate on all of your stays via their loyalty program.

As we made our way to the baggage hall of Komodo airport we were met by a hotel representative who assisted with our bags and drove us the 20 minutes or so to Plataran. The town centre of Labuan Bajo looked like a very typical backpacker hub, with organic cafes, hostels and bars lining the main strip. We also rather ominously saw a Starbucks under construction… it seems that Komodo is no longer “off the beaten track”.

plataran komodo-1

However, Plataran has a very private and secluded beachfront location, surrounded by coral, well away from the town. Upon our arrival at Plataran our bags were taken as we were greeted by the duty manager who walked us to the main Joglo building for check-in.

plataran komodo-9

The resort fits perfectly within its surroundings and hasn’t been overly manicured. If you’re expecting something like a Four Seasons in Hawaii you’ll be disappointed but I really liked the wild feel here. If you’re looking for something a lot more modern, the Ayana property closer to town is a proper mega-resort in the Balinese style. Personally though, I couldn’t wait to get back to Plataran after visiting Ayana for dinner.

plataran komodo-12

Plataran Komodo -Private beach

Duplex Pool Villa

Since we were travelling with friends we opted for a two bedroom Duplex Pool Villa , which actually priced out almost the same as getting two regular beach rooms. What most drew us to this villa type was the fact that the floor plan was identical on both floors, meaning that it was a true “Twin Master” layout.

We often travel with friends and there is usually a coin toss required to see who gets the lesser room in a villa (at Soori Bali for example) so not having to deal with that already meant we were off to a great start!

Our villa felt truly secluded within the grounds of the resort as it was surrounded by foliage and accessed via a private pathway, leading to a colourful, antique wooden door.

plataran komodo-15

The villa had ample outdoor garden space in addition to the pool, with the upstairs featuring the same day bed and dining table as the downstairs patio.

plataran komodo-17

Moments after we arrived at the villa two hotel employees entered, one with cold scented towels and glasses of welcome juice and another to offer complimentary shoulder massages, as a ‘taster’ of what was available at the spa.

plataran komodo-23

After our drinks and massages we headed to our respective rooms. Mine and Kamara’s bags had been placed in the downstairs room which was actually far bigger than I had been expecting by looking from the outside of the building.

plataran komodo cruise

Plataran Komodo – bedroom.

Even with the wide angle mode on a GoPro it was impossible to capture the whole room!

Immediately upon entering, there was a sofa to the left and an entertainment centre on the right.

plataran komodo-25

The raised King sized bed was very comfortable and superbly designed. I’ve honestly never seen a better solution for a bed that requires a mosquito net.

plataran komodo villa bed

The net was suspended from a square frame, meaning that the sides didn’t taper and touch you in your sleep. The net was also weighted at the bottom to ensure that it draped evenly.

In addition to this there was a thick wooden platform around the bed, giving you even more clearance from the net and space on which to place slippers, a laptop or anything you might need to keep close during the night. The lamps were so large that the space on the bedside tables would have been rather limited otherwise.

plataran komodo-30

There were also power sockets on both sides, close to the bed. However, you still had to run a cable under the net and back up again at night. Not an issue for a regular length cable but if yours is particularly short this would be problematic.

An intricately hand carved wooden headboard separated the sleeping and living area from the rest of the suite. Behind this headboard was an enormous desk and an equally ample baggage area.

plataran komodo-41

Given this layout, the desk had access to all the power sockets facing the bedside tables, as well as an additional socket mounted into the top of the desk itself. There were some useful items here like the Krups coffee machine and the kettle as well as other less useful ones… like the vintage sewing machine.

plataran komodo-37

An info pack also provided details of the prices of room service items and the spa. Examples: $9 for a room service burger and $99 for a 120 minute massage. 

plataran komodo-40

On one side of the bed was a minibar area, together with a welcome amenity of fruit. Unlimited drinking water was provided free of charge.

plataran komodo-51

At the far end of our room was the absolutely gigantic bathroom. In terms of hardware everything was extremely impressive, with sufficient water pressure to crush a can of coke and a bath that filled in mere moments. However I couldn’t help feeling that this area was unnecessarily dark.

plataran komodo cruise

For the price there’s no question that the villa presented exceptional value for money. The mixture of antique local furniture with modern design touches worked really well and the villa felt genuinely private and secluded.

Our private pool was also spotlessly clean and maintained at a very pleasant temperature, such a great place to spend a lazy afternoon relaxing!

Food and Drink

Our rate included complimentary breakfast, which was served in the main Joglo building on the beach. Everything that we tried was great (including the coffee!) but my favourite was definitely the Soto Ayam, an traditional Indonesian rice porridge served with chicken stock and various different condiments.

plataran komodo-59

All room rates also include a complimentary afternoon tea. I’m not usually particularly sweet toothed but I must admit I really love Dadar Gulung, the traditional bright green, coconut and pandan pancakes.

plataran komodo-60

For lunch and dinner you had the option of either dining at the main restaurant or walking along the beach to Plataran’s destination restaurant: Atlantis on the Rock.

plataran komodo cruise

Atlantis on the Rock

People who are not staying at the resort are permitted to visit this restaurant, which gives it more of a lively atmosphere. The service however wasn’t as personalised, since the number of staff was much larger and seemed to be different each time we visited.

plataran komodo-61

The food was great though, as were the spicy margaritas! During the day the offering was a la carte with some evenings featuring themed buffets.

plataran komodo-69

Leisure Facilities

Plataran provides complimentary snorkelling equipment for all guests and thankfully the very long pier by Atlantis allows you to jump straight into a coral reef.

plataran komodo-65

When we visited, the resort didn’t have a gym but they’ve since added a glass walled pavillion on the beach, featuring two cardio machines. The image below is taken from the hotel’s website.

plataran komodo cruise

The hotel also featured a large pool just along the beach from the gym pavilion. The pool is where we found the attendants to help with complimentary kayaks, snorkels and paddleboards.

plataran komodo cruise

Plataran Komodo – Main Pool

For those visiting with young families, there is an extensive kids club – with plenty of indoor and outdoor play space.

plataran komodo cruise

For us the main allure of visiting Komodo was a chance to see the world famous dragons for which the national park is named. Plataran were able to arrange an excursion via a third party contractor who very conveniently collected us from the pier at Atlantis on the Rock. The price for the trip was $80 per person excluding park entry.

Our private boat was simple but very clean, fast and comfortable. Soft drinks and fruit were provided by the boat operator.

plataran komodo-75

Plataran added their own touch too by providing us all with a beautiful packed lunch in custom boxes. It was very thoughtfully presented so that hot and cold were kept separate as were crunchy and wet elements. The food was delicious too.

plataran komodo-73

The itinerary for our day trip involved three stops:

  • Padar Island
  • Loh Liang (Komodo Island)
  • Pink Beach (Komodo Island)

plataran komodo cruise

1. Padar Island

Since the trek to the top of Padar Island features almost no shade, we set off quickly – arriving there before the sun became too hot. The views were absolutely spectacular but there were a lot of people. You’ll have to bide your time or be very inventive with framing if you want shots that aren’t full of selfie sticks and low flying drones.

plataran komodo-78

It is busier than you might expect up here…

padar island

…but tranquility is not impossible to find.

2. Loh Liang – Komodo Island

Being out on the boat was a real pleasure in and of itself. The crystal clear water and abundance of marine life were a pleasure to behold. I almost wished that the ride to Komodo was longer.

plataran komodo-89

Komodo has a visitor centre and some official looking signage but for the most part you do feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. There were plenty of rangers in fatigues to be seen. Some were wandering around, others playing cards and many just napping in the shade. Upon arrival I had to walk into a dingy little office with a noisy fan and rusty window panes, to hand cash over to a man in a vest with a tin full of notes and a miscellaneous drink in a jam jar. His sausage-like fingers handed me a few small scraps of paper, our permits for the day.

The whole thing felt a bit like entering the territory of some guerilla force. Paying your dues to the local boss to gain entry to his lizard kingdom…

Having said all that, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, he really had a passion for the dragons and was full of fun facts.

plataran komodo-82

The largest dragons that we saw weighed as much as 90kg whilst the smaller juveniles were not much bigger than a monitor lizard. It isn’t just Komodo dragons on Komodo island either, we also spotted a few other reptiles including the spiky necked little guy on the left below.

plataran komodo-86

3. Pink Beach – Komodo Island

After visiting the dragons we took a very short boat ride up to the world famous Pink Beach. 

plataran komodo cruise

Komodo – cruise ship. 

I was really surprised to see a fairly large cruise ship as we made our short journey up the Komodo coast.

In all honesty, much like the Northern Lights, Pink Beach looks a lot better on camera once the saturation has been turned up.

komodo pink beach

It’s a really pretty beach with great snorkelling but if you’re expecting it to be bright pink in real life, without a camera or polarised sunglasses… you’ll be disappointed.

pink beach filter

Komodo Pink Beach – with and without filter.

Basics Checklist

☑︎ Power sockets near the bed ☑︎ Easy to understand light switches ☑︎ Coffee machine  ☑︎ Separate shower and bath ☑︎ Blackout blinds ☑︎ Stable, fast and free Wifi ☑︎ Feather pillows ☑︎ Quiet and powerful aircon

Every guest has their own free standing villa or bungalow and this gives Plataran Komodo the feeling of a sleepy little beachfront community. You quickly get to know all of the staff and at night, when you wander along the beach, you get the feeling that you’re out in the wild, with no light pollution. It is honestly rare to find a resort with modern hardware, great food and better service that can run in this way, without charging many multiples of this price.

Komodo presents a unique ecosystem for lovers of marine life and reptiles, for many travellers this is something of a bucket list destination. To my mind, if you’re coming here for a once in a lifetime trip, Plataran is the place to stay. Come here quickly before the Ayana and Starbucks crowd take over…

Phinisi sailboat at sea

Plataran Phinisi Ambasi

Woman on the pink beach

A former freighter handcrafted from Bornean ironwood and repurposed as a liveaboard, the 82-ft Plataran Ambasi is a Buginese phinisi schooner, based in Labuan Bajo on the Indonesian island of Flores, offering short and sublime 3-day cruises for up to 8 guests around the waters of the incredible Komodo National Park. She is also available for private charters. 

Refurbished over the years, and most recently in 2020, the Plataran Ambasi has undergone regular maintenance, upgrades and enhancements with the comfort and convenience of her guests in mind, while her soul has remained true to her traditional Buginese roots. The seafaring Bugis tribes are the master shipbuilders and seafarers of Indonesia. They handcraft exceptionally strong phinisi schooners, using robust timbers, age-old techniques and a skillset passed down through the generations.

Life On Board

When not exploring the enchanting Komodo islands themselves, the Ambasi has ample attractions of her own. Inside there is an inviting social space including a large dining area with flatscreen TV and coffee station. Outside there is a spacious sundeck with beanbags and chairs, a great place to enjoy the sea breeze and take in the stunning views of the islands passing by during the day, and the stars in the night sky. As the adrenaline of the days’ pursuits abides, the Phinisi Ambasi’s cozy cabins beckon. Her three luxurious double cabins and one bunk-bedded twin cabin are all ensuite, air-conditioned and charmingly timber-clad, accessorized with delightful traditional Indonesian textiles and decorative motifs.

Excellent meals are served three times a day at a long, indoor communal table that sits all guests comfortably. Here, you can look forward to delicious and fresh local specialties, prepared on board by a local chef, part of the seven-strong professional, friendly, and experienced crew of  Phinisi Ambasi. However should you get peckish, you’ll also have all-day access to snacks and soft drinks. Aside from the chef you entourage includes an expert divemaster for those keen to discover Komodo’s amazing marine life. All members of the team will strive to give guests an experience to remember. Scuba diving equipment and snorkeling gear is available on board, as well as all essential safety equipment. 

Komodo National Park

Covering around 900 square miles of sea and land, Komodo National Park is the natural habitat of the famous Komodo dragons. It is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, over 150 species of birds, and nutrient rich waters that support one of the world’s most biologically diverse marine environments with over 1000 species of fish. The region features a Jurassic landscape of rough hillsides lined with dry savannah and green thorny vegetation, and perfect sandy beaches surrounded by crystal clear blue waters with pristine coral reefs. From giant manta rays, turtles, dolphins, and giant pelagics to tiny pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, shrimps and frog fishes, Komodo is a magical area for both diving and snorkeling.

The only way to explore the waters and landscapes of the national park is by boat. On your Ambasi cruise, you can visit the beautiful Pink Beach, trek to the panoramic viewpoint on Padar Island, encounter the dragons on Komodo Island or Rinca Island, and witness the sight of thousands of flying foxes commuting from Kalong Island, at sunset to feed on the mainland overnight. This unforgettable voyage is p erfect for singles, couples, families and groups of friends. For a wonderful liveaboard sailing experience look no further than the Plataran Phinisi Ambasi.

Itineraries & Prices

All itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s or your guide's discretion.

3 Day - Komodo National Park

itinerary map

Embarkation, Rinca Island

AM : Upon arrival, you will be picked by the Plataran staff from the airport and transfered to the boat. As you arrive on the boat, you will be warmly welcomed by the staff and served a welcome drink. The boat will then depart for Rinca Island, a journey that will take approximately 3 hours.

PM : Once we arrive, everyone will go off the boat and head to ranger station. From there you'll begin your thrilling trek to see the legendary Komodo dragons, safely guided by the ranger of the island. You may adjust your time trekking with the ranger as you need.

If time allows we'll make a stop at Kambing Island for our first session of snorkeling in the national park. 

This evening, we'll return to the boat and sail to Kalong Island. Famed for its mangrove forest and fanged inhabitants, this small island has become known as the “house” of a thousand bats. If you are lucky enough, you will witness the breathtaking spectacle of thousands of bats flying out from their nest looking for food.

Phinisi Ambasi's 3 Day Komodo National Park - Day 1 - View from Sundeck

Padar, Komodo & Pink Beach

AM : This morning we arrive at the incredible Padar Island, the third largest island in the national park, where you'll ascend to its peak for one of the best panoramic views imaginable. Once roamed by no less than three species of Komodo dragon, today the island is sadly dragon-free due to historic hunting of the dragons themselves and their prey.

Fortunately the trekking to be had is no less spectacular, and it won't be long before you are in search of dragons as our next stop is Komodo Island itself. Home of the namesake legendary Komodo Dragons, the island is also a haven for deer, wild boar and many bird species.

PM : Afterwards you'll don your mask for more snorkeling and relaxing at the otherworldly World Heritage Site of Pantai Merah, the island's spectacular pink beach.

Phinisi Ambasi's 3 Day Komodo National Park - Day 2 - Dining Table Setup

Bidadari, Disembarkation

AM : This morning, after breakfast, you'll get the chance to go snorkeling at some of the most breathtaking sub-aquatic spots. First stop is the beautiful small island of Kanawa with its amazing corals. Later, the Phinisi Ambasi will bring you to another blissful site of the Komodo sea – the idyllic Bidadari Island.

Bidadari's white sands and turquoise waters are located to the north west part of Labuan Bajo, and are home to untold colorful fish and corals. Enjoy snorkeling or just relax on the beach before we sail back to Labuan Bajo in the afternoon and drop you at the airport or your hotel.

** Please note this itinerary is subject to change at any time due to, but not limited to; local conditions, weather, strong currents or winds, and any unforeseen reason that may endanger the safety of passengers or crew.
