Taaktana, a Luxury Collection Hotel by Marriott in Labuan Bajo, reflects local cultural and natural heritage through a layered lighting masterplan that guides spatial hierarchy and enhances key moments across.

Taaktana, a Luxury Collection Hotel by Marriott in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, features a layered lighting design inspired by the traditional *Lingko* fields of the Manggarai people. The concept weaves cultural heritage into a luxurious, immersive experience. Bespoke lighting gently guides guests along pathways to sea villas, while softly illuminated columns and indirect roofline lighting enhance architectural forms with a floating, ethereal glow. This thoughtful approach balances modern elegance with local tradition, creating a serene atmosphere that connects guests to the natural and cultural landscape of Flores Island—offering a unique, memorable stay rooted in place and identity.
