We had an incredibly perfect 6 nights at Alamayah, Sumba. The property is absolutely stunning and our experience was only heightened by the warm and personal service provided by the staff who treated us like family. We were picked up from the airport and driven to the hotel in spotless vehicles and as soon as we arrived given a welcome drink & and explained the property. Our room, Tahik, faced onto the ocean & it was beautiful watching the sunrise from our balcony everyday. The rooms are immaculately clean & every detail has been considered, from complimentary mini bar to toothpaste, sunscreen & bug spray. Housekeeping staff do a lovely job & we always looked forward to their turndown service in the evening which made bedtime so inviting. Every dish we ordered from the restaurant was delicious, and the menu has an excellent variety of Indonesian & Western dishes. The chefs obviously take a lot of pride in their cooking & the dishes looked and tasted amazing. Also not to be missed is the fantastic bar, the bartenders are expert cocktail makers and we indulged in a variety of different drinks during our stay. My husband who loves to surf was taken care of by the Surf Guide, which put my mind at ease knowing someone local to the area & familiar with the conditions would be out with him in the water. We had a wonderful 90 minute massage & did the Village Tour which we absolutely recommend every guest does. We are so thankful for every staff member who made our stay so memorable. We can’t wait to come & stay with you again. X

Wow .. wow .. wow … this place is amazing. ASA Solo traveler I felt like home immediately. It’s like walking to a beautiful home . Big and beautiful decorated room . Comfortable, amazing views and great staff . I went with Novri in the bike to explore the beaches around and he stayed with me all day . The Alamaya is a family house . The food is home cooking and excellent. The architecture and design is amazing . And the Ocean view … Mesmerizing. Only 7 rooms so very private and I like it . Felt amazing and safe . Really recommend the experience . It’s unique .

My husband and I recently stayed at Alamayah and were blown away. Sumba is such a remote place and to have this caliber of hotel there was such a surprise. The staff were beyond amazing, and what was really telling was how highly they spoke of the owners, who have involved the local community in so many ways. The hotel is only 6 rooms, so it is a small place and you can choose to be on your own or chat with other guests in the lovely communal areas. We loved the stand up paddle boarding adventure as well as going to visit a local village - highly recommend! We've been telling all our friends about Alamayah and Sumba. Definitely a bucket list trip.

Alamayah is the perfect retreat! We stayed for 5 nights and wish we were there longer! The property is beautiful and well maintained, we were especially impressed because of the remote location. The beaches are fabulous! Great waves and Issac is an awesome surf guide! The food was fantastic! The staff are truly what makes this place special. They arranged for a village tour for us, played with our daughter, checked-in every night to secure the next day activities and so much more! We would love to return again to this beautiful paradise.
