Plataran Komodo

Plataran Komodo offers the only luxury phinisi boat charter on this list, granting exclusive access to Komodo National Park’s 29 islands. At $1,200 per night, it is 25% cheaper than the average resort here yet still provides 5-star amenities like a private beach on Waecicu Beach. Its proximity to the dragons outperforms #9 Alila Villas Uluwatu, but its smaller infinity pool—at 20 meters—lag behind the 40-meter pool at #4 Nihi Sumba.
