Discovering this beautiful, unspoilt piece of nature has been a blessing. We feel it is a privilege to contribute to protecting this precious land to the best of our ability. Our wish is to welcome others to experience and honour the natural beauty of this unspoilt land. Sumba Retreat is built in harmony with its surroundings, and pays tribute to Sumbanese traditional style using local bamboo and eco-friendly sustainable materials.

As part of our commitment to help the local community, we endeavour to employ local Sumbanese people wherever possible. We also support the teaching of English in local schools to help future generations find employment opportunities in local tourism.

Our dream is to witness Sumba island thrive, whilst preserving its traditions, respecting the natural environment and supporting the local community.
