🏝 Discover the mysterious charm of Sumba Island 🌅 Sumba Island (Pulau Sumba) is an island in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, and is part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Although it is only a 1-hour flight from Bali, arriving on Sumba Island feels like entering another world. 🏡 Primitive mountain villages and ancient customs 🌳 The island is dotted with mountain villages, and the thatched-roof houses look like giant wizard hats. Of the 450,000 residents, most are animists and devout descendants of ancestors. The island retains ancient religious ceremonies and indigenous people riding ponies through the shade of trees, with customs that have remained unchanged since the Stone Age. 🌊 Surfing paradise and resort Nihi Sumba 🏄‍♂ The island has a wild and primitive culture and a charming natural environment. The sparkling beaches and world-class surfing conditions attracted the Graves couple from the United States, who founded the Nihi Sumba Resort. In 2012, it was transformed into the only luxury resort on Sumba Island and became a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. 🌴 The luxury and uniqueness of Nihi Sumba Resort 🏰 Located in a protected area, the 2.5 km private beach is adjacent to cliffs. The resort's 32 villas are uniquely designed and offer excellent privacy. The overall design incorporates the traditional culture of Sumba Island, with thatched roofs as a unique model.

#summervacation #hotelstay #beachvacation really appreciate their big efforts to provide lodging in sumba, i know how difficult for them to struggle, for that even five stars is not enough. Room is clean, running water is well, landscape will be lovely one day, and it will be more better if the food will be elaborated as well as direct access to the beach and internet access to be improve. Staffs are very friendly and amazing efforts to educate local youngsters to grab the hospitality. Keep a good work! #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay
