From connecting with locals of Sumba through our cultural artisan programs, swimming with horses in crystal blue waters, to surfing to your heart’s content, we strive to ensure your time here on the island will be one that’s hard to forget. Our goal is to connect you with this largely unexplored area of East Indonesia on a deeper level than just a one-time trip, to bring you an unforgettable stay.
