Workation in Labuan Bajo: the essentials
Labuan Bajo is the harbour town on the western tip of Flores and the gateway to Komodo National Park. Government investment has turned it from a fishing village into a compact tourism hub with a marina, a growing number of cafés and dive operators, a couple of coworking spaces and boutique hotels on the hills above the bay. It is more expensive than the rest of Flores, sometimes Bali-level for anything imported, and monthly rentals are limited to guesthouses and villas rather than apartments. Internet is patchy: fibre exists in newer hotels, but power cuts and slow mobile data are common, so confirm speeds before committing. The payoff is world-class diving with manta rays, liveaboard trips and dry-season sunsets from July to October; the wet season from December to March is hot and quiet. Direct flights reach Bali in about 90 minutes and Jakarta in under three hours.

Labuan Bajo is the gateway for Komodo tours and has no established coworking. A few cafés and hotels by the harbour offer Wi-Fi, but the connection is variable and power cuts are common. For longer work stints Bali is the better choice.
