LaUnua  

On Labuan Bajo's waterfront, this houseboat-cottage sits within walking distance of the city center. It's near the beach — about a 15-minute walk to St. Angela Church and Labuan Bajo Port, 2.5 km from Pede Labuan Beach and 7 km from Batu Cermin Cave.

Expect a laid-back, boat-chic vibe with air-conditioned rooms, a cozy fireplace and a private balcony or patio. Rooms come with a flat-screen TV and satellite channels, and some have a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator and an espresso maker; a rooftop terrace gives you sweeping views.

Stand-out perks include a rooftop terrace, barbecue grills/area, concierge and a tour assistance desk to book island trips. On-property services cover luggage storage, laundry, a safe-deposit box and 24-hour room service — wake up to sea-breeze mornings from your balcony.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve meals and snacks, while the barbecue area lets you grill your own fare; 24-hour room service is available for late-night cravings.
