Nagekeo Regency

Nagekeo Regency spans 1,377 square kilometers across Flores Island, bordered by the Flores Sea to the north and the Savu Sea to the south.

The regency gained independent status in January 2007 when it separated from Ngada Regency to enhance regional administration in East Nusa Tenggara province.

The territory encompasses two primary ethnic groups: the Nage people in the southern region and the Keo people in the northern districts of Aesesa and Wolowae.

South Aesesa serves as the administrative center, coordinating services across seven districts including Mauponggo, Keo Tengah, Nangaroro, Boawae, and Wolowae.

Rii Taa Island within the regency features a pink beach that expands from 30 square meters during high tide to 20 hectares during low tide.
