The beach clubs in Labuan Bajo are a new thing. This is the gateway town to Komodo National Park, not a beach resort, so the scene is young and still forming. There are 6 worth knowing, and most opened in the last few years.
Locals just call them beach clubs, and few publish a fixed day rate. Most run on a minimum spend or a small entry fee, credited to food and drinks, so a beach day here costs less than Bali. The dry season runs roughly April to November, with July and August busiest.
The town itself has almost no swimmable beach. The real clubs sit just south at Pede Beach, north along the Waecicu resort strip, or out on nearby islands reached by a short boat. For the wider picture, see our guide to beach clubs in Indonesia.

LYD Beach Club
LYD Beach Club is the newest arrival, part of the Mawatu waterfront development that opened to the public around October 2025. It's run by LYD Group, the Bali team behind La Favela, about 10 minutes from Komodo airport.
The concept pairs an infinity pool and a waterfront restaurant with a spa, plus snorkeling, diving and island boat trips. It's pitched as an international-standard club for an upscale crowd.
Pricing is package-based and not published, so book through the operator's Instagram. It's still bedding in, so treat the details as provisional. $$$ pricing.
About 15 minutes north of town, the Waecicu strip is where the resorts sit.
Uni Floating Beach Club
Uni Floating Beach Club is the beach club of the five-star Katamaran Hotel & Resort Komodo on Waecicu Beach. It centres on a floating deck with two infinity pools and a pool bar.
There's direct beach access, a private jetty for Komodo trips, a gym and a kids' club. Water sports like kayaking and snorkeling run from around IDR 75k an hour.
Non-guests can buy a pool day pass that includes pool use with food and a drink, one of the few clear day products on Waecicu. The resort sets the rate, so ask ahead. It's calm and family-friendly. $$$ pricing.
AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach
AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach is the luxury option, a five-star resort further along Waecicu with a private white-sand strip. Oceanfront infinity pools, rows of sunbeds and a long private jetty.
The Naga Bar floats above the water at the end of the pier, and the UNIQUE rooftop bar sits high above the resort. Both are open to non-guests, which is the usual way in without a room.
A dedicated public day pass isn't confirmed, so contact the resort before planning a non-guest pool day. Expect five-star prices across the board. $$$$ pricing.

69 Beach Club
69 Beach Club is the social hub of 69 Resort by Loccal Collection, on Siwona Island a short boat transfer from town. It opened in late 2025.
It's open-air and adults-leaning, with an infinity pool over the sea, sun-tanning areas, bean bags and a pink theme. The Pinky Bar handles drinks, and it's geared to sunset sessions and private events.
Open 3pm to 10pm. There's no published day-pass rate and it's priced at resort level, so confirm access and the boat transfer before you go. $$$ pricing.
NUKA Beach Club
NUKA Beach Club sits in the government-backed Golo Mori tourism zone, about 45 minutes south of town, looking across to Rinca Island. It runs as a seaside food and events venue rather than a full pool club.
It's best known for the Nuka Grill Fest, a Sunday grill night from 5pm to 9pm, around IDR 350k a head. The rest of the week it's a relaxed spot for sunsets and drinks by the water.
Entry is a token IDR 30k, about $2, and includes a soft drink. Given the distance, pair it with a Golo Mori day trip. $$ pricing.
Frequently asked questions about Labuan Bajo beach clubs
What is the best beach club in Labuan Bajo?
Atlantis Beach Club on Pede Beach is the popular pick, widely rated the best sunset spot in town, with two pools and a low minimum spend. For a five-star resort day, Uni Floating Beach Club at Katamaran on Waecicu has the clearest day pass. For an island session, 69 Beach Club on Siwona is the newest.
Do you need to book beach clubs in Labuan Bajo in advance?
For a pool day at Atlantis Beach Club you can usually just turn up on the minimum spend. The resort clubs are different. Uni Floating Beach Club and AYANA Komodo want you to arrange a day pass or table first, and the island spots need a boat transfer booked ahead. Reserve for sunset in peak season.
Does Labuan Bajo have a beach for swimming?
Not really in the town itself, which is a working harbour with almost no swimmable sand. For a swim you head out. Pede Beach just south has Atlantis Beach Club, the Waecicu strip 15 minutes north has the resort pools, and the best swimming is on the Komodo islands by boat.
Are there beach clubs on the islands near Labuan Bajo?
Yes. 69 Beach Club sits on Siwona Island, a short boat transfer from town, with an infinity pool over the sea. Further south, NUKA Beach Club in the Golo Mori zone looks across to Rinca Island. Both need a transfer or a longer drive, so plan them around a day trip.
When is the best time to visit Labuan Bajo beach clubs?
The dry season runs roughly April to November and is the time to come, with July and August busiest. Sunset is the main event at most clubs, so aim for late afternoon. The wet season around January and February brings rougher seas and fewer island boats.
