Eco Resort Sumba Dream, Sumba Island: Combine megalithic culture and marvellous views with the sound of the sea and superb relaxation. Immerse yourself in the seclusion of a wild, romantic retreat where you can let the world behind you and your thoughts run free. Look forward to daydreaming in the spacious garden with views of the endless sea.

Location and amenities:
The Eco Resort Sumba Dream is a lovely small owner-managed bungalow resort in the east of Sumba Island and about 2 hours from Waingapu Airport. With its wild, spacious garden and the 6 rustic cottages made of stone and wood scattered throughout it, it exudes a rustic, charming charm, which is what makes this small complex so special. Really remote and quite a bit hidden There is absolute peace and relaxation here, framed by palm trees and the sea with an extensive bay and long, white sandy beach.

The 6 beachfront bungalows in local architectural style are functionally furnished and each have a large room with wardrobe, ceiling fan, bathroom with shower and - thanks to the solar panels - warm, but not necessarily hot, water and western toilet as well as a private terrace with sea views. The 3 standard bungalows are 24 m² in size. The 2 deluxe bungalows are just as big and also offer air conditioning. The 1 Family Bungalow is even more spacious at 36 m², is equipped with a ceiling fan and also has an additional room. It offers space for a family with a total of 5 people.

With the Eco Resort Sumba Dream, the very attentive French owners have made their personal dream come true and have also made the resort name part of their program. Their charming 'petit domicile' far from home combines French hospitality with an exotic ambience - a unique mixture that does not fail to make an impact. There is also a great focus on sustainability. In addition to solar panels that supply the entire resort with electricity, great emphasis was placed on the use of exclusively natural local materials in the construction of the cottages as well as on their natural integration into the existing landscape structure.

WiFi is available free of charge in the restaurant bar. 

Occupancy: max. 5 people

Restaurant:
The resort restaurant, which conveys French cosiness, is directed by Blandine, one of the owners, and, like the bungalow cottages, is built of stone, framed with numerous wooden elements and provided with a high thatched roof that provides the room with good air circulation. French and local dishes are served, with the ingredients largely sourced from the resort's own garden. If you feel like it, you can accompany the restaurant staff in collecting mussels every evening - live ones, mind you - which are then processed into a delicious meal. If that's too exotic a meal for you -no worries- you can also opt for a tasty home-made pizza, which is freshly baked in the resort's own pizza oven. And when the season permits, you can also eat exquisite large tiger prawns.

The restaurant is located directly on the beach, and regular barbecues with freshly caught fish by Laurent and Christian provide culinary variety. Wish them luck, because you owe your dinner to their talent ;-) You can also end the evening in the small bar attached to the restaurant, where you can enjoy a cold beer, local cocktails or - depending on availability - one or the other glass of wine.
 

Activities:

• With its island location, Sumba is part of the Coral Triangle, the most species-rich marine area on earth. However, the island is not (so far) known for its diving resorts. The Eco Resort Sumba Dream is not a diving resort.
• Anyone who comes to the Eco Resort Sumba Dream will find, above all, peace and relaxation and, last but not least, themselves. In addition, the extraordinary resort offers a number of activities to keep you entertained. In addition to kayaking and stand-up paddling, the exposed location offers a great starting point for snorkeling with beautiful corals and lots of colorful fish.
• If you would like something a little more intensive in terms of activities, you have the opportunity to go on a horse ride, which can be arranged. Let yourself be enchanted by the exotic flair of your surroundings and enjoy the deserted beach.
• And if you prefer something even more sporty and exciting, you can also go on a breathtaking 'sport fishing' tour here. 'The heat is on' - You or the fish ;-)
• And if you're looking for more variety and haven't seen anything else of Sumba so far, then combine your stay with one of our Sumba tours and immerse yourself in Sumba's unique megalithic culture.
