Pantai Paris Homestay

Top choice in Flores


Run by an environmentally and socially conscious family, this tropical garden setting beside the sea is our pick for budget accommodation. There are four private rooms with bamboo furniture and mosquito nets and the spacious, nine-bed dorm shares a lovely, semi-outdoor bathroom. Join in a Sunday beach or snorkelling clean-up or support locals with disabilities by buying organic, homemade tea.

Charismatic owner, Susi, makes her own jam, chocolate and even dragonfruit wine. There's a small shop at the entrance selling accessories made from rubbish collected off the beach and the homestay works closely with an NGO to help educate people on waste management. Close to the airport and Terminal Lokaria.
