Tucked away in the tranquil landscapes of Southwest Sumba, Maringi Sumba is more than just a boutique eco-lodge; it’s a living classroom of sustainable hospitality. Built almost entirely from bamboo and natural materials, the property blends seamlessly with its lush surroundings, just ten minutes from Mananga Aba Beach and five kilometers from Tambolaka Airport.
Each pavilion is designed with comfort, calm, and connection in mind. Between the whisper of palm leaves and the gentle scent of the earth after rain, you’ll feel the rhythm of island life at every turn.
Bamboo Pavilion
A cozy retreat surrounded by gardens, the Bamboo Pavilion offers a tranquil stay in a 30 m² open-air setting crafted from local materials. Enjoy the warmth of Sumbanese design, a king-sized bed draped with mosquito netting, and a breezy terrace perfect for morning coffee.
Pool Pavillion
Spacious and elegant, the Pool Pavilion spans 60 m² and opens directly to the lush pool area. Whether with a king or twin bed, the space feels airy and natural, complete with a semi-open bathroom and private outdoor seating, ideal for relaxing after a sun-soaked day.
Sumba Hospitality Foundation
At the heart of Maringi Sumba lies a purpose beyond hospitality, the Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Established to empower local youth, the foundation provides education and hands-on training in sustainable tourism, preparing students for careers in world-class hotels and restaurants.
Every stay at Maringi directly supports this mission. Guests not only experience genuine Sumbanese warmth but also become part of a community that values responsible travel, cultural preservation, and opportunities through learning. Here, hospitality is more than service , it’s a shared journey of growth, connection, and hope for a brighter Sumba.
