Sumba is one of Indonesia’s most culturally preserved and geographically striking islands, located in East Nusa Tenggara and twice the size of Bali, yet still blissfully untouched by mass tourism.
Begin your journey at the world-renowned Nihi Sumba, ranked among the world’s finest eco-resorts. Wake in a private cliffside villa, surf world-class waves before breakfast, or ride horses across the white sands of Nihiwatu Beach at sunset.
With your private guide, explore Sumba’s cultural heart. Visit Ratenggaro Village, Prai Ijing, and Tarung, where stone megaliths rise beside traditional clan houses, and women still dye and weave ikat textiles by hand. If timed in season, witness the legendary Pasola Festival — a sacred horseback war ritual rooted in animist beliefs.
Swim in the turquoise waters of Weekuri Lagoon, stroll along Mandorak Beach, and hike to the dramatic cascades of Lapopu Waterfall. In the highlands, marvel at the sculpted terraces of Waikacura Ricefields, where ancestral farming still thrives. Sumba is also home to over 200 bird species, including 7 endemics.
At LuxeIndonesia Travel, we design tailor-made luxury Sumba itineraries that balance cultural immersion, adventure, and complete seclusion. Whether you arrive by private jet, helicopter, or overland, we curate with our expert travel designers.
