This pricing reflects comprehensive inclusions: luxury boutique hotel accommodation, often with harbor views; all gourmet, organic meals prepared by private chefs; daily guided yoga and meditation sessions; specialized breathwork and sound healing workshops; and multiple excursions into Komodo National Park.

How far in advance should I book my wellness retreat or bespoke program?
For optimal availability and to secure your preferred dates, Wellness Labuan Bajo recommends booking your retreat or bespoke program at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Our limited group sizes, typically 4-8 participants, and high demand for specific luxury accommodations and private Phinisi charters mean that popular periods, especially during the dry season (April-October), fill quickly. For MICE wellness incentive groups, a booking window of 9-12 months is advisable to ensure full customization and coordination for larger parties, which can range from 10 to 30 individuals. Last-minute bookings, while occasionally possible, may require flexibility on dates or specific program elements. Our dedicated concierge team manages all arrangements, from securing your preferred boutique hotel, such as Ayana Komodo or Plataran Komodo, to coordinating specialized dive instructors certified by PADI. Early booking also allows ample time for pre-retreat consultations, ensuring your personalized itinerary perfectly aligns with your wellness objectives. Approximately 80% of our bookings are made more than 4 months prior to arrival.
What is the cancellation policy for Wellness Labuan Bajo programs?
Wellness Labuan Bajo maintains a clear cancellation policy designed to balance guest flexibility with operational commitments. For cancellations made 90 days or more prior to the scheduled arrival date, a 75% refund of the total program cost is issued. Cancellations between 60 and 89 days before arrival receive a 50% refund. For cancellations within 30-59 days, a 25% refund applies. No refunds are provided for cancellations made less than 30 days before the arrival date, as resources, including luxury accommodations and private Phinisi yachts, are already secured. We strongly advise all guests to purchase comprehensive travel insurance, which can cover unforeseen circumstances leading to cancellation. This protects your investment, particularly for programs that include significant components like multi-day Phinisi charters within Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our booking terms are transparently outlined during the initial consultation, ensuring complete understanding before any financial commitment. We process refunds within 14 business days of confirmation.

Are medical facilities readily available in Labuan Bajo?
Labuan Bajo provides essential medical facilities, though for complex emergencies, evacuation to larger medical centers in Denpasar, Bali, or Jakarta is often recommended. The main public hospital, Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Komodo, offers general medical services, including emergency care and basic diagnostics. Additionally, several private clinics, such as Siloam Hospitals Labuan Bajo, provide more comprehensive services, including general practitioner consultations, minor surgical procedures, and pharmacy access. Our wellness concierge team maintains direct contact with these facilities and can arrange immediate transport and liaison with medical professionals if a guest requires assistance. For critical situations, air ambulance services can be arranged from Komodo Airport (LBJ), connecting to major medical hubs within approximately 2-3 hours. We strongly recommend that all guests travel with comprehensive medical insurance that includes emergency evacuation coverage. Our team also carries extensive first-aid kits on all excursions and at our retreat locations for immediate response to minor incidents. The Siloam Hospitals facility is located approximately 4 kilometers from the harbor district.
