Sanubari

About

Set on a remote stretch of coastline in Sumba, The Sanubari is a place for those who crave space, silence and a genuine connection to nature. Nestled within a 100-hectare reserve on the ancestral lands of the Marapu people, the resort combines understated luxury with one of Indonesia's most untouched island landscapes. Beachfront villas, endless ocean views and a deep sense of remoteness make it feel wonderfully removed from everyday life.

Days here are shaped by the island itself. Ride horses along deserted beaches, visit traditional Sumbanese villages or explore a culture that has remained largely unchanged for generations. As the sun begins to set, the coastline turns golden and the only sounds are the waves and the breeze moving through the grasslands. It's the kind of place that stays with you long after you've left.

Discover one of the country's most untouched islands, where nature and tradition still take centre stage.

❋ A Wild Corner of Indonesia

Thoughtfully designed villas with private pools, just steps from the sand.

❋ Beachfront Villas

❋ Rooted in Sumbanese Culture

Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary or simply seeking time together, The Sanubari invites you to slow down and reconnect.
