When you first set foot on Kanawa Island, you will feel at peace. With only a short 1 hour cruise from Labuan Bajo, this small 80-acre island is a beauty.
Two lush green hills make up the terrain of Kanawa, surrounded by white and ashy beaches. The softness of the view and peaceful island feeling gives Kanawa a magically calm aura.
— or opt for lying on the soft sand. Have an invigorating rest and breath in the fresh salty air of the Flores sea. Due to Kanawa island’s remoteness, there is no power and no internet. This gives you the perfect amount of time to reboot. You can enjoy the moment, away from our digital lives.
The small resort on the island and the boats coming to shore offer refreshments and food for a truly relaxing time.
The rich blue waters are full of colourful corals and tropical creatures. Swim and feel close to nature without having to dive deep. Spottings of beautiful marine life have been recorded on Kanawa — dolphins, turtles, small reef sharks and macro fish.
Do not worry though if you have forgotten your gear, some small facilities on the island offer rentals.
