Lelewatu Resort Sumba is reopening its doors on December 1st, 2020. Allow yourself to recharge in nature after a long chapter of holiday hiatus, and be the first to revel in the breathtaking beauty of Sumba, wrapped in the comfort of a world-class luxury experience.
Lelewatu Resort Sumba is an absolute hidden gem nestled on a clifftop in West Sumba. The area is spread across a secluded 10-hectare landscape of lush and unspoiled nature, while overlooking the majestic view of the Indian Ocean throughout. This exceptional retreat will elevate your stay with first-rate facilities and unrivaled personal services. Amazingly built by a Sumbanese business-woman, Jenny Tan, the resort was meticulously designed to reflect the island’s elegance and exoticness. It is a place to admire the intricate details that incorporate Sumba’s traditional culture and craftsmanship, as a way to preserve the Sumbanese heritage. Set on approximately 90 minutes from Tambolaka Airport, your journey to our sanctuary will leave you startled with Sumba’s iconic panoramic views. Lelewatu Resort Sumba truly is the perfect destination for those who are seeking for tranquility, culture, and luxury.
Explore our resort with immense curiosity and let our atmosphere take you to incredible experiences and unbeatable landscape views – leaving you in awe. The resort offers a wide range of villa choices: One Bedroom Ocean View Pool Villas, One Bedroom Ocean View Cliff Pool Villas, One Bedroom Ocean View Honeymoon Villas, Two Bedroom Pool Villas, Two Bedroom Ocean View Cliff Pool Villas, Four Bedrooms Pool Villas, and our signature Sumba House where every single detail was created to resemble the traditional Sumbanese house. Every villa was thoughtfully designed with Sumbanese architectural concept, decorated with traditional Sumbanese hand-woven textiles (ikat Sumba), and completed with a luxurious bathroom including a special arrangement of His and Hers bath amenities. Outdoor pool, tropical garden, and cozy balcony are also featured in each villa, allowing you to enjoy the scenic horizon at sundown along with its serene twilight.
Our concept speaks experience in heritage and nature. Take a few steps up to see “lelewatu”, a sacred ring stone, which portrays the core of our story, or get down to our
open restaurant area where you are able to weave the authentic ikat Sumba and indulge yourself in the traditional Sumbanese costumes. Then, enjoy the calming sound of the waves from our beautiful lagoon, or be active and explore our property with the complimentary bicycle.
