Sumba Tourism
Sumba is a beautiful and untouched island which is situated to the East of the country; however, it amazingly distinguishes itself from the Northern volcanic part of Indonesia. The visitors that do make it to Sumba are usually surfers as Sumba has an amazing surf scene that remains under the radar. The clear ocean waters and the white sand beaches are great places to enjoy away from the noisy crowds.
The countryside and beautiful savannahs offer the perfect getaway nestled in the lap of nature. The hilltop villages are having traditional clan homes that are clustered around megalithic tombs for the villagers to pay their respect to their ancestors. The specialty of the island is 'Tenun Ikat' which is handwoven fabric which is a labour intensive technique which takes hours to make but is a wonderful work of art.
