Cap Karoso Village

Cap Karoso Village sits on the island of Sumba, with twenty villas built for space and privacy. On site there are restaurants, a beach club and bars.

Sumba still runs on its own traditions, and the resort works them into the stay: fishing the traditional way, ikat weaving, and riding Sumbanese sandalwood horses.

The resort regularly hosts visiting artists, chefs and musicians, so the programme changes through the year.

It is also a good base for walking. The countryside around Karoso is open and largely undeveloped.

With 20 villas and 44 rooms, there is certainly one tailored just for you
