Set in Weetebula, 1.3 km from Mananga Aba Beach, Mario Hotel and Cafe offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a restaurant. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Amazing place with great and helpful staff, nice beach and sunset. Great villas, even though it was hot at night without AC. The staff provided an extra fan for us, that was perfect. Very nice hotel!

With mountain views, Morinda Villa and Resto is set in Waingapu and has a restaurant and free shuttle service. The property was built in 2016 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Amazing location, Freddy the owner is such a welcoming and warm person. He gave us so many tips about travelling through sumba and recommended us to join the sunrise trekking on the hills next to the villa. We paid only 250.000 and we got an incredible sunrise! The views were stunning and he loves to share his passion for nature and culture! The villa was in great condition and the breakfast was good. Our highlight was definitely his own weaving art. He has a little shop in the reception area with local pieces. But he mentioned that his profession is being a Weaver and he has higher quality pieces in his house. He invited us to his place and showed us all his work and we were listening to him for 1 hour. The pieces are made with such beautiful patterns ans designs. We bought one, and this is our favourite souvenir of 2 months travelling through Indonesia and Vietnam. If you stay here, make sure to talk to Freddy :)

Facing the seafront, Oro Beach Houses is a bed and breakfast offering a 3-star accommodation in Weetebula. It features a private beach area, garden and private parking. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast has family rooms. Leaving Oro House felt like saying goodbye to family – I had to wait a month before I could even talk about it without getting emotional. Oro House was my home in Sumba - I had the most amazing time here. During my week-long stay, I watched sunset at their private beach every single day, and even got to see a double rainbow once! They have this gorgeous secluded beach perfect for sunbathing and swimming. To me, this is the most welcoming place in West Sumba. Siska gave me great travel tips while encouraging me to discover my own adventures. Her family and friends made me feel so cared for - I always had delicious food and ice-cold Bintang beers at the home restaurant. They've got tons of Sumba books at reception too (especially super helpful Sumba-info). I missed here already when i on my flight to Bali. Hope to return someday. So grateful to Siska and the whole family. Quick practical stuff: • Only 15 mins drive from Tambolaka Airport • Well-paved roads from both airport and town • Convenient Indomart runs if u have a scooter

Featuring garden views, Three Queen Villa and Homestay in Waikabubak provides accommodation, a private beach area, pool with a view and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Lydia was a brilliant host, nothing was too much trouble, she, organised motorbikes for us as well as a car and driver for our trip back to the airport via a lovely beach club, also horse riding, advice on what to do and see, and she even spent time teaching my husband to cook some local dishes. Her children were absolutely delightful. The new swimming pool was great and will be amazing once the decking is finished. The rooms were extremely comfortable. If you really want to avoid the tourist crowds and spend some time in an incredible unspoilt location then this will be perfect for you. We would highly recommend getting round on the mopeds as it is the best way to see the absolutely stunning scenery (but be careful of potholes and slippery mud if it rains). Thank you Lydia, we had the best time 🙏

Featuring a garden, terrace and views of sea, Sumba Farm House is located in Patiala Bawa, 2.4 km from Watu Bella Beach. This country house provides free private parking and a shared kitchen. The country house features family rooms. We had a wonderful stay — the staff were warm and welcoming, and the authentic food they prepared was the best we had. Surrounded by beautiful views and nature, everything was clean, well-kept, and enhanced by the locally made soaps and products that smelled incredible.
