Cap Karoso

So much more than a hotel, Cap Karoso is a celebration of Sumbanese culture, immersion in nature and a haven of calm and tranquillity. This property in Sumba offers not only luxurious accommodations and delicious dining but has also pioneered an on-site farm and an art studio.

Stay in one of the 16 studios, 24 terrace studios or seven beachfront suites that offer spacious, bright and tranquil places to relax. The rooms are designed using age-old crafts and contemporary techniques. Cap Karoso also features an additional collection of stunning villas ranging from duplex villas to the larger three bedroom beachfront villas.

For dining, head to the Beach Club for casual yet refined cuisine featuring products from the farm, where the focus is on sharing with fish, pasta and other wholesome delights. Alternatively, savour an intimate experience within the Julang restaurant, which blends fine-dining with a community feel. Again, organic ingredients from the farm are turned into delightful dishes.

During your stay you can also enjoy a traditional Sumbanese ritual derived from local shamanic healing techniques within the spa. Rejuvenate your senses with yoga and meditation at the beach or in the calming yoga pavilion, or relax within the cooling waters of the large swimming pool.

Experiences to embark on at Cap Karoso include snorkelling in the peaceful Karoso Lagoon, catching a wave in Pero, fishing with locals or diving into the turquoise surface of the Weekuri saltwater lake. You can also head out on hikes or bike rides to explore the tropical forests and endless plains that surround the property. Traditional activities to try include ikat weaving and Sumbanese sandalwood horse riding.
