Watukaka Eco Resort

Located within a national park on the south west coast of Sumba, Watukaka Eco Resort is the perfect place for an idyllic island escape.

Four luxury tents are nestled amongst lush green forest, looking out over sparkling water and secluded coves. The tents feature stone walls and canvas exteriors and are beautifully furnished with lots of natural materials that reflect the surroundings.

Beds are positioned so you can watch the sun rise and large terraces are the perfect spot to relax with a good book or glass of wine. Each tent features an open-air shower area so you feel truly connected to the natural environment.

Fresh local ingredients are combined with French techniques and flavours in the restaurant, a reflection of the owner’s European background. When you’re not diving into the turquoise ocean, there is an infinity pool at the camp as well as a spa offering a range of relaxing treatments.

The location of Watukaka is simply idyllic. Wild horses and water buffalo share the land and there are beautiful beaches – some of which are great for surfing – nearby. There is also the option to trek, visit local villages and swim in waterfalls before coming back to enjoy a sunset BBQ on the beach.
