Best time to travel

The ideal time to visit the breathtakingly beautiful and largely untouched island of Sumba, east of Bali, is from June to September. During the dry season, the weather is ideal for discovery and outdoor adventures. Pleasantly warm temperatures and low rainfall create perfect conditions for exploring Sumba’s striking landscapes and beaches. Even in the reMayning, slightly wetter months, most rainfall falls at night, making Sumba an exceptional year-round destination.

    Destination region

    Sumba

    Sumba is a remote island in eastern Indonesia, defined by sweeping savannahs, dramatic coastlines and a vibrant culture with deep-rooted traditions. Untouched beaches, traditional villages and a surprisingly diverse landscape make Sumba a destination for travellers seeking authenticity and depth – including families eager to discover something new together.

    Experiences here are as varied as they are close to nature: powerful waves at Nihiwatu, peaceful bays such as Pantai Mandorak, and cultural encounters in villages like Ratenggaro and Prai Ijing. Walks lead to waterfalls such as Lapopu Waterfall and the turquoise waters of Weekuri Lake. Horseback rides along the coast or through open landscapes are among the island’s most memorable moments – as are shared evenings of local cuisine, music and dance.
