Sumba, a treasure rediscovered Tayrona has signed a $2 Billion USD joint venture with the Government of Indonesia for the development of strategic projects in the country and the full development of luxury hotels specifically in Sumba Island, one of the most beautiful and unexplored islands in the region.

A fifty-five minute charter flight away from Bali, with the spirit of the 90's and an abundant wealth of nature, wildlife, and ethnographic treasures, we find Sumba, a modest island that evolved in the 18th century when Chinese and Arab traders i ntroduced horses to this small island, leaving a legacy that to this day remains an essential part of Sumbanese culture.


The preservation of Sumba's unique personality and natural essence Sumba allows visitors a real sense of adventure while being complemented by luxurious resorts that offer guests an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the surroundings, we find 600 thousand inhabitants that live in dispersed, authentic villages accompanied by dramatic and scenic views, and an agricultural economy still ruled by ancient laws where tribal kings bestow permission to toil the land. The virgin jungle, its ancestral towns, and its serene beaches, along with roaming stallions, make Sumba an untapped paradise. The pristine beaches that stretch over several kilometers set Sumba apart from thousands of surrounding volcanic islands. The paddy fields frame the ocean. The black shale that rises from turquoise waters, the traditional towers of bamboo, and the alang-alang are just part of the allure that makes this island a bona fide utopia. Surfing is another major attraction of Indonesia and the main draw of Nihiwatu, whose authentic experience brings that mythological past to the modern world. And what a world it is!


While to the east we find a society highly segmented by social classes and lineage, to the west we find a more ethnically diverse culture. During the rice-growing season the most celebrated festival in the region takes place once again, uniting and promoting sustainability and beauty.

Sumba is irresistible! Trek idyllic routes, ride wild horses along the beaches, bathe in flawless waterfalls. To feel the heartbeat of Sumba is to meet its people and unite with their customs, religions, and observe their ancient and sacred rituals. Live all the experiences that make this island a treasure to be explored through Tayrona Capital.
