Uma Lantar Farm Eco-Stay: A Traditional Manggarai Village Stay on Flores Island
If you’re looking for a peaceful, green, and natural place to stay — while connecting directly with the traditional lifestyle of the Manggarai people in Flores — Uma Lantar Farm Eco-Stay is the perfect choice.
More than just accommodation, Uma Lantar Farm Eco-Stay offers a meaningful experience of living in harmony with nature and preserving local culture.
In the Manggarai language, Uma means “garden” or “farm.” For the Manggarai community, the farm is not simply a place to grow crops — it is considered a “second home,” where people gather natural resources to support daily life. The farm is also seen as a living space where humans, nature, and plants coexist in harmony. Its beauty and vegetation are carefully protected as part of cultural heritage.
Inspired by this philosophy, Uma Lantar Farm Eco-Stay was created as a nature-based and cultural retreat. It invites travelers and adventure lovers to experience authentic village life — working in the garden, breathing fresh mountain air, enjoying calming green landscapes, and tasting traditional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.
Staying at Uma Lantar Farm Eco-Stay means becoming part of the local community’s daily life — an authentic journey that blends tranquility, cultural wisdom, and the natural beauty of Flores.
