Sumba island is magical with its natural beauty and tradition, known as the hidden gem in East Nusa Tenggara, located only one hour away by plane from Bali. At approximately 210 km long and 80 km wide, it is about twice the size of Bali.

Sumba has one of the best-preserved traditions from the Bronze age whereby giant Megalithic tombs can be found all across the island. Around 30% of the population practice a local animistic religion called Marapu. This actually influences almost every aspect of Sumbanese life, from the shape of the houses to traditional dance and music. It is Marapu belief that the people are being watched over by their ancestors, and so they maintain a harmonious relationship with their deceased family members through ceremonies. If you are lucky, you might be able to catch one of these unique rituals during your stay.

Apart from its rich culture, Sumba has plenty of distinctive natural resources. Take a walk along the one of many perfect white sand beaches edged by azure water or explore the vast savanna landscape – the choice is entirely yours.
