Beach Hotels in Maujawa

We stayed at Kandora for three nights in March of 2024. It was an absolutely delightful stay. Our room was wonderful. It was spotless and decorated beautifully. We had a large private living area and an elegant outdoor shower in an enclosed courtyard. We spent our days touring the eastern part of Sumba and walking and shell collecting on the endless beach which backs up to the Kandora. We swam daily in the Savu Sea and the beautiful Kandora pool. Our meals, especially breakfast, were delicious. The staff at Kandora are incredible. Iwon manages the hotel and saw to our every need from personally meeting us at the airport to preparing our evening cocktails. Angela and Chef Dwi prepared great meals served by Mia. Kandora’s location on the northeast coast of Sumba is ideally situated to explore the rich heritage and natural resources of the eastern part of the island. Our Sumbanese driver Michael spoke perfect English and his local knowledge was enlightening . After a day of exploring there is nowhere better to return to than the luxury and comfort of the Kandora and its amazing staff. We really hated to leave and in retrospect wished we had stayed a few more days.

Fabulous setting, great food, a beautiful beach, very quiet, plenty of activities to do in the area
