Lelewatu Resort Sumba

Lelewatu Resort Sumba occupies ten hectares of cliffside above the Indian Ocean. It is built in traditional Sumbanese style: hand-carved wood, alang-alang thatched roofs, and views over the forest canopy to the sea. Each villa is private.

The design draws on Sumbanese heritage throughout. Guests use the spa, visit nearby villages, or spend the afternoon at the infinity pool.
