Waikuri Lagoon: A Natural Pool Like No Other 🌊🏝️

#celebrateit In Southwest Sumba, Waikuri Lagoon is the kind of place that makes you stop and take it all in. The water is impossibly clear, shifting between shades of turquoise and emerald, and the stillness of the lagoon makes it feel worlds apart from Sumba’s wild coastline. What’s unique about this spot is the mix of saltwater and freshwater, giving it an almost unreal clarity. It’s perfect for floating, swimming, or just cooling off after a long day of exploring. The lagoon is framed by rugged rock formations and mangroves, adding to the untouched, almost otherworldly feel of the place. If you’re up for some fun, there are natural ledges for cliff jumping, or you can simply wade through the shallows and let the sun warm your skin. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, where the only thing that matters is the water, the breeze, and the feeling of being somewhere truly special.
