"We have loved our stay at Lelewatu and feel very grateful to have been able to experience staying there. We stayed in a cliff pool view villa, the view is spectacular, the villa itself is so beautifully designed and very clean. The pool is a nice size, very clean and has such a beautiful outlook. The bathtub is lovely overlooking the ocean and fills up very fast with clean water. The bed is comfortable with soft and clean linen. The staff are all very helpful and kind and we really have enjoyed all meals that have been lovingly prepared and delivered to our room. As we were celebrating our anniversary the staff organised a beautiful table setting for dinner which was such a kind gesture.
Although neither of these two things would deter us from staying again they are worth noting.
1 the villa floor itself is noticeably unlevel and tilts down a little towards the back wall of the villa.
2 If you are a surfer this location does prove a little difficult and the hotel itself does not have a boat for transfers nor were they able to supply us with a rental bike that has a surfboard rack. As my husband is an experienced rider and has previous experience of navigating in rural areas using google maps he managed, although the trips to find the waves were not too comfortable without having a surfboard rack. If you have your own car or rent a car with a driver that is familiar with the area this may be fine for you to get to the local surf spots which are all around 30 minutes from the hotel. There is surf at nearby Nihi however that beach is private for hotel guests only.
This is an ideal resort for honeymooners, couples of families looking for peace and tranquility."

"This hotel offers three meals a day, and the Western food is delicious. You can tell they put a lot of effort into everything. Some staff members' English isn't great, so you need a bit of patience, but any issues I brought to their supervisors were addressed. It's a beautiful hotel with a high degree of privacy, and you can even go horseback riding. A truly lovely place for a vacation!"

The sunniest island in the Indonesian archipelago, Sumba is unique in that it is not a volcanic island, making it an exception in the region. Located in the province of East Nusa Tenggara and twice the size of Bali, from which it is just an hour's flight away, Sumba remains a relatively undiscovered travel destination.
Venture off the beaten tourist track in Indonesia, discover pristine beaches, meet authentic and welcoming locals, and experience a sense of freedom on a paradise island!
