This is not simply an escape — it’s a return to life as it was meant to be. The journey to the Edge of Wildness is where untamed luxury meets boundless freedom. Just a short flight from Bali’s busy shores, Sumba Island — twice its size, with a fraction of its tourists — remains one of the world’s last untouched sanctuaries.Here, raw beauty and ancient culture create a canvas for meaningful journeys.
A haven for adventurers, explorers, and curious souls.
Arrive with an open heart and immerse in rare moments of wonder. Depart transformed: refreshed, recharged, renewed.
More than a vacation, is a purposeful destination, a journey of the spirit.
SUMBA IS REACHED FROM BALI, WITH 3 DIRECT FLIGHTS A DAY.
