Labuan Bajo, Flores as your Next MICE Destination

Bali, Indonesia has been a popular destination for MICE organisers and companies that wanted a cultural and/or great beachside experiences but there is another rising star in Indonesia which have recently seen major developments and have hosted some major global meetings in the gateway to the Komodo Dragons natural habitat!

Nestled within the stunning Indonesian archipelago lies Labuan Bajo, a hidden gem that seamlessly blends business with pleasure. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant marine life, and unique cultural experiences, Labuan Bajo offers an unparalleled setting for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE). With its proximity to the Padar Islands, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, and Rince Island, organizing an event here promises unforgettable and unique experiences for attendees.


Labuan Bajo serves as the gateway to the mesmerizing Komodo National Park, home to the famous Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a fascinating experience like no other – there is no other place on earth where these dragons roam free in their natural habitat - where participants can embark on guided tours to witness these ancient majestic creatures, walking among the dragons! Imagine the excitement and camaraderie as colleagues explore the terrain of Komodo Island together, creating bonds that extend beyond the boardroom and office.


For those seeking relaxation and natural beauty, the nearby Padar Islands and Pink Beach are not to be missed. With their pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, these destinations provide the perfect setting for team-building activities. Snorkeling enthusiasts will be delighted by the vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life, offering an opportunity to connect with nature and recharge amidst the splendor of the underwater world where Manta Rays, Turtles and even thousands of “Nemo” swim amongst you!


One of the highlights of any MICE experience in Labuan Bajo is the chance to experience its unique cultural heritage and immersive eco-tourism initiatives. Here, participants can engage in authentic cultural exchanges with the local Manggarai community, gaining insights into traditional rituals, craftsmanship, and sustainable living practices. From hands-on workshops to cultural performances, Labuan offers a truly enriching experience that fosters cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
