I won't allow anyone to miss the stunning Cap Karoso on Sumba Island!

Can you imagine what kind of mysterious island is hidden just a 1-hour flight east of Bali? Sumba Island is a secret island for niche travelers. It is a mixed-blood secret place between Asia and Africa. Its unique geographical location even continues the primitive beliefs of the Bronze Age. Grasslands, mountains, beaches, tribes, and megalithic tombs, as well as the 25-meter-high pointed "Sumbanese house," are like ancient stone tablets, inscribed with the last wild romance of Indonesia. Let's talk about Cap Karoso. It is located on Karoso Beach in the southwest of Sumba Island, where modernist architecture and traditional villages blend together. It has 44 rooms and 20 private villas, and the traditional pointed Sumbanese house design perfectly blurs the boundaries between nature and luxury. It has many design highlights, such as an eco-friendly concept, solar power supply, and zero-waste beach club; cultural symbiosis, integrating Marapu religious totems and Parisian contemporary aesthetics; and farm-to-table, self-grown ingredients plus a chef's sharing feast. There are also many hidden experiences here. You can dive into Weekuri Salt Lake, as if you fell into God's palette; visit primitive tribes and ride horses through sandalwood forests; enjoy top-notch waves on Pero Beach; enjoy traditional shaman healing SPA, awakening the healing power of the Bronze Age; drink sunset cocktails at the Apicine bar, and get tipsy in the dusk. As for transportation, it is also very convenient. It only takes 1 hour to fly from Bali Denpasar Airport to Tambolaka Airport, and 50 minutes by car from the airport to the hotel, where you can also pass through primitive villages and grasslands. NAM/Citilink/Wings has 3 flights every day. Go and experience it!
