A Piece Of Heaven

Taka Makassar

Some people know Taka Makassar also as Pulau Gusung. The name comes from ‘Taka’ which means shallow. ‘Makassar’ comes from the sailor who found the island who comes from Makassar, an area in Sulawesi island. According to the name, this island is actually a sand bank which is only visible when low tide. The high tide submerges almost the entire surface of the island in sea water. It is more a sandbar than an island, maybe only 300ft from end to end. Taka Makassar is a tiny piece of heaven. Turquoise water surrounds the beach of this small island where the mix of white sand and pink sand makes the view even more beatiful.

Like other destinations in Komodo Archipelago, this spots is also loved by our guests. There is such less on this island but even more it can give to you. When standing on this piece of heaven and feeling the smooth beach under your feet, you will be simply happy. Beacause of its characteristic of a sandbar, the water is not very deep here. Therefore you can walk in the clear sea very easily and watch the beauty of the underwaterworld. This amazing view over the flat ocean with its clean water and the islands in the background is just amazing. Visitors love this place, whether it’s because of their experience strolling around the island or sunbathing or capturing beautiful moments with their loved ones.
