Lelewatu Resort Sumba

Perched on a dramatic clifftop on Sumba’s southwest coast, about an hour’s flight east of Bali, Lelewatu Resort Sumba looks over the Indian Ocean and sits beside a private lagoon. The resort is in Waimangoma, roughly 2 km from the town center and a short drive from Nihiwatu Beach.

This luxury clifftop resort channels Sumbanese style across 27 individually decorated pool villas (130–650 sqm) with private balconies, free minibar items and LED TVs. Bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads. Expect a calm, island vibe with local design touches, a boutique and curated spaces for romance and adventure.

Standout offerings include a private lagoon, Maraga Spa, an outdoor pool, fitness center and a horse riding track. There’s also a game room, picnic and barbecue areas, tour desk and 24-hour room service. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to nature and nearby beaches.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. The resort provides multilingual staff, luggage storage, laundry and concierge services, plus a roundtrip airport shuttle (available for a surcharge) and onsite valet parking.

Dine at two on-site gourmet restaurants, Bokosawu and Le Humba, or grab a snack at the coffee shop/café and unwind at the bar/lounge. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (7:00–10:00 AM) and 24-hour room service is available.
