How do I get to Le Pirate Island?
Le Pirate Island is located off the coast of Labuan Bajo, on the island of Flores in Indonesia. From Labuan Bajo the boat goes to and from Le Pirate Island once a day, which is all well organized by the hotel. After you have booked via this link, you will be told at what time you are expected at the office of Le Pirate Island in Labuan Bajo. The boat takes just over an hour. This transfer is included in your reservation. In fact, you must book a room to visit Le Pirate Island. It is not open to day tourists. This is the location of the office and meeting point.
How much does a night at Le Pirate Island cost?
The cheapest “room” (read: hut on the beach), you can book from as little as €70 per night. This includes a delicious breakfast. It is not possible to book one night, because of the boat transfers. You must book at least 2 nights to stay on Le Pirate Island, but we recommend this anyway. In these 2 days you can really unwind and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
In addition to beach huts, you can also opt for the slightly more luxurious glamping tents. These have a private bathroom and even have air conditioning. For the glamping tents, you pay around €100 per night.
What is there to do at Le Pirate Island?
That’s just the beauty of it: there’s not a whole lot to do. This allows you to really unwind, play games, read and enjoy the beautiful view. However, there are a few activities:
- Snorkling with baby sharks and turtles
- Playing a game of beach volleyball
- Go kayaking or supping
- Play table tennis
- Many (board)games to play
- In the evening, watch a movie at the open air cinema with your feet in the sand
- Enjoy the conviviality by a campfire
How is the food?
We really liked the food at Le Pirate Island. Especially the lunch, with every day a fresh salad you can make yourself, is really delicious. Dinner was a little bit disappointing for us vegetarians, if you compare it to what the people who ate fish or meat were served, but all in all it was fantastic.
We really loved our stay at Le Pirate Island. You immediately get that holiday feeling and completely relax. Check booking.com for prices and availability and book your stay right away, it’s popular and can sell out quickly! Then get information from Le Pirate Island about transfer times and where to report in the morning.
Labuan Bajo also has plenty of fun things to do. These include a day trip to Komodo National Park or diving with manta rays, sharks, turtles, seahorses and many more animals. Also read our blog: the 10 best activities in Labuan Bajo for more inspiration.
