The Landscaping Manager oversees the resort’s gardens, lawns, trees, irrigation systems and outdoor guest areas. The role typically requires several years of landscaping or horticulture experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or resort, along with knowledge of tropical plants, pest control, irrigation, safety procedures and landscaping equipment. A relevant diploma or degree in horticulture, agriculture or a related field is advantageous. The successful candidate should be capable of leading a team, planning maintenance schedules, controlling costs, coordinating with engineering and housekeeping, and maintaining high visual standards. Strong organization, communication, practical problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach are expected. Experience working in Indonesia’s tropical climate and sustainable landscaping practices would be useful.

Labuan Bajo is a small coastal town on Flores, serving as the gateway to Komodo National Park. Hospitality, food and beverage, landscaping, marine tourism, diving, transport and construction offer the strongest job opportunities, especially as tourism continues to develop. Local culture blends Catholic Flores traditions with diverse Indonesian customs; respectful dress, polite communication and community awareness are important. Life is relaxed and outdoors-focused, with warm weather, beaches and boat trips, although shopping, healthcare and international services are more limited than in Bali or Jakarta. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate Indonesian work and residence permits; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation packages may include staff accommodation, meals, transport or flights, but this should be confirmed in the employment contract. Costs can be moderate, though imported goods are expensive.
