Split into two nearby properties, Manulalu Hills and Manulalu Jungle are about 20km from Bajawa and 3km from Bena along a scenic, winding road. Hills has eight stylish rooms, but the seven Jungle bungalows, modelled on traditional houses, are something from a fairytale; think beautiful bathrooms and day beds on wooden decks perfect for admiring one of Flores' most spectacular outlooks.
When we visited, a restaurant with dumbfounding views, owned by Manulalu and located between the two properties, was nearing completion.
