Cap Karoso Sumba

Indonesia

Sumba is part of the Eastern Indonesian province of Nusa Tenggara Timur, composed of the 3 country’s Christian islands: Flores, Sumba and Timor. Located slightly off the archipelago, Sumba surprises with its unique landscapes, numerous endemic species of flora and fauna and its pristine white-sand beaches.

Bringing French-led culinary excellence, art, music programming, and modernist buildings to the wild shores of Sumba island, Cap Karoso redefines beachfront hospitality in Indonesia. This eco-conscious haven comprises 47 rooms and 20 villas and a three-hectare organic farm. Here, contemporary structures and turquoise lagoons revolve around a reimagined traditional village. Surrounded by lush vegetation and opening onto the beach, the accommodations are magnificent testaments to indoor-outdoor living. A luxury ceramics collection by Gaya Ceramics plays with a variety of local aesthetics.
