Luxury Travel to Sumba

An island famed for its elaborate funerary rites, the allure and exoticism of a comparatively recent history of headhunting practices and the famous Pasola festival come February or March, Sumba island with its remoteness, lack of infrastructure and commitment towards sustainable tourism is the very antithesis of Bali.

An hour's flight from Denpasar, Sumba has been the best kept secret of die-hard surfers.

Staying at the luxury eco-resort, Nihiwatu, explore a different side of Indonesia- a facet that is divorced from the commercialism of Bali, the chaos of Jakarta or the regality of Java. For the beauty of Sumba is its stripped back-to-nature ethos and the feeling of a place yet-to-be-discovered.
