Remote beaches, spectacular dive sites, powerful volcanoes and living traditions waiting to be discovered


Hey Adventurer,

Are you tempted by a trip to a tropical paradise? Then a holiday in the Sunda Islands of Indonesia might be exactly what you are looking for. Here you will find beautiful islands, exotic animals, hot volcanoes, secluded beaches, crystal-clear water, brilliant diving areas for beginners and diving professionals and a fascinating culture that is waiting to be discovered. Whether you long for relaxed days on pristine beaches, want to explore the vibrant underwater world, or are eager to taste local culinary delights – we design the perfect, tailor-made journey just for you. 

While Bali and Java belong to the better-known Greater Sunda Islands, East of Wallace Tours opens the door to the largely undiscovered Lesser Sunda Islands – an archipelago full of surprises, stretching east of Lombok all the way to Timor.

Location & equipment

Sumba Beach House, in Indonesia east of the Wallace Line: For your vacation you would like a secluded place that is small, but not completely isolated. And a beach house in an exotic location with just a few suites is exactly what you have in mind. Nestled between palm trees and a white sandy beach with the sound of waves, birdsong and sunsets - that's what this vacation should be like.

Location and amenities:
The exclusive beach house is located on the island of Sumba, which is part of the Lesser Sunda Islands, east of Bali. The facility is located in the southwestern part of the island directly on a long beach, near the village of Kerewe, where most of the employees come from. The approximately 90-minute drive from the airport takes you through the breathtaking landscape of Sumba, past traditional villages and impressive mountains.

The entire Sumba Beach House complex is lovingly designed and is in harmony with the regional culture, which is particularly reflected in the architectural style and furnishings as well as in the natural materials used such as wood and the traditional leafy roof. The interior design is modern and looks very natural thanks to warm beige and brown tones.

There are 4 adjoining, identical suites available, each with its own veranda with bean bags and green plants outside the door. The spacious rooms are designed for two adults and can be reserved with either a king-size bed or two single beds. High window fronts let in lots of light during the day and various lamps provide atmospheric lighting in the evening. All suites are equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, built-in wardrobes and bedside tables. The private bathrooms have hot water and a rain shower. Plants and bamboo elements create a tropical atmosphere in the bathroom. The traditional crafts of the region are also reflected in selected decorative elements.

The heart of the beach house is the common area: a square, semi-open pavilion located between the suites and the beach. A range of different seating options ensure sufficient comfort. You can either sink into comfortable sofas, relax on sun loungers or enjoy a cool drink at the bar in the middle of the pavilion.

Next to the pavilion there is a small pool for cooling off. Alternatively, you can go directly into the sea from here and swim in a safe swimming area in front of the beach house. Surfing enthusiasts can access two excellent surf breaks directly from the beach.

WiFi is available free of charge in the suites, pavilion and pool area. In-room massages can be arranged upon request.

Occupancy: max. 2 people per room or 8 people when booking the entire beach house

Restaurant:
The Pavilion is the place where all food and drinks are served at Sumba Beach House. Manager Ivana and her local team cook Indonesian and international dishes using fresh, regional ingredients based on the season. Special dietary requests are implemented in the best possible way. And what's more, you can enjoy delicious cocktails, fresh coconuts and cold beer here with a fantastic view of the vast ocean and its waves.

Activities:

Although the island of Sumba is located within the Coral Triangle, it is not (yet) known for its diving resorts.
The Sumba Beach House is not a place for diving. The Sumba Beach House offers wonderful views over a spacious bay and the turquoise sea. The long sandy beach, the gentle waves and the high coconut palms fit picturesquely into the picture-book paradise. The sound of the waves, the spectacular view, the occasional buffalo and horses passing by... If you come here, you can do one thing first and foremost: completely relax and take in the surroundings.

And if you're still looking for something different, you're welcome to explore the surrounding traditional villages and immerse yourself in Sumba's unique culture. Whether visits to villages, long walks on the beach or a trip to the mountains with breathtaking viewpoints, there is something for everyone, best combined with one of our Sumba tours

For a long time, Sumba was considered an insider tip among surfers, but is gradually becoming more famous, not least because of its proximity to Bali. However, tourism is still limited and the somewhat adventure-motivated visitor can still enjoy deserted beaches here.

The Lesser Sunda Islands stretch like a string of pearls across the turquoise waters of eastern Indonesia, and each island tells its own unique story. From the legendary Komodo dragons on Komodo Island to the traditional ikat weavers of Flores, from the wild horses of Sumba to the giant whale sharks of Sumbawa and the majestic Mount Tambora volcano – your holiday in the Lesser Sunda Islands becomes a journey through an entirely different world. Here, where rice is still planted by hand and centuries-old traditions continue to shape daily life, you experience Indonesia in its most authentic form. This is travel beyond the ordinary – raw, cultural, diverse and deeply rooted in nature. With our tailor-made tours in Eastern Indonesia, we design your individual journey entirely according to your wishes – combining nature, wildlife, culture and adventure in one unforgettable experience.

Experience Nature and Connect with People

The magic of your Sunda Islands holiday lies in the diversity of experiences. In the morning, you walk through rice fields where farmers still carry out their traditional work; in the afternoon, you snorkel above vibrant coral reefs; and in the evening, you enjoy the sunset from one of the many viewpoints – or even from the summit of a volcano. Every accommodation in the Sunda Islands that we have carefully selected for you reflects the character of its surroundings – from a simple beachfront bungalow to a stylish boutique resort hotel.

Encounters with local people make your journey to the Sunda Islands truly special. Whether during traditional weaving on Lombok or Sumbawa, at a whip-fighting ceremony on Flores, or while visiting a megalithic village on Sumba – everywhere you are welcomed with open arms. Our local guides not only know every corner of their homeland, but also build meaningful bridges between cultures.

Round Trip Through the Lesser Sunda Islands: Inspiration for Your Itinerary

A classic Lesser Sunda Islands round trip often begins on Lombok, the quieter sister of Bali. From here, your journey continues by boat (car ferry) or flight to Sumbawa, home to its (not yet entirely) world-famous surf spots. For many travelers, the absolute highlight is Flores – an island of striking contrasts with colorful crater lakes, traditional villages, and a rich underwater world. From Labuan Bajo, you can reach Komodo National Park, where the prehistoric Komodo dragons are at home.

For your Lesser Sunda Islands tour, we recommend planning at least one week per island. This allows you enough time to discover the many different facets of this unique region. Destinations within the Lesser Sunda Islands can be combined individually – from adventure to relaxation, everything is possible. If you would like to experience even more of Indonesia’s diversity, other island regions make perfect additions, for example:



Lesser vs. Greater Sunda Islands – Dream Destinations Compared

While the Greater Sunda Islands such as Java, Sumatra and Borneo impress with their vast size and iconic highlights like Borobudur or the orangutans, the Lesser Sunda Islands stand out for their intimacy and authenticity. Destinations on the Greater Sunda Islands already attract large numbers of visitors, whereas here in the Lesser Sunda Islands you can still discover genuine hidden gems.

Your holiday in the Lesser Sunda Islands means fewer tourists, more authentic experiences, and remarkable diversity within a relatively compact area. Whether you hike through the rice fields of Flores, stay in a traditional-style hotel on Sumba, or swim with whale sharks off the coast of Sumbawa – every day brings new adventures. The perfect alternative for those who already know Bali and Java, or who wish to experience Indonesia beyond the well-trodden paths from the very beginning.
