Dusit International has signed a hotel management agreement with Komodo Property Management to manage Kaliwatu Residences – Dusit Collection in Indonesia. This signing marks Dusit’s first Dusit Collection branded hotel in Indonesia.

The property is located on the western tip of Flores, just 10 minutes by car from Komodo International Airport and the town of Badjo – the gateway to Komodo National Park, renowned for its Komodo dragons and diving.

Developed in phases, with full completion scheduled for 2Q2028, the project will feature 63 private villas with plunge pools, 194 apartments, and a clubhouse housing a restaurant, bars, shops, a gym, a spa, and a rooftop swimming pool.

Kaliwatu Residences – Dusit Collection will provide easy access to Labuan Bajo’s cultural and natural attractions, including pink beaches, underground caves, waterfalls, hiking trails with panoramic viewpoints, and encounters with Komodo dragons within Komodo National Park.

Ongoing infrastructure improvements, including recent upgrades to Komodo International Airport and upcoming direct flights from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Perth, Australia, are enhancing Labuan Bajo’s reputation as a premier destination for relaxation and adventure.

Gilles Cretallaz, chief operating officer, Dusit International, said: “Labuan Bajo is an extraordinary destination with immense potential, and we are delighted to introduce our signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to this stunning location.”

“Our vision for Kaliwatu Residences – Dusit Collection is to create a sanctuary that harmonises with nature while delivering world-class amenities. The development and construction of the project are fully supported by local authorities and are being carried out in collaboration with the local community, further enhancing its positive impact on the local economy,” added Alessandro Mugavero, CEO, Komodo Property Management.
