The island of Sumba is rarely visited by foreign tourists although there has been a steady increase in the last 20 years. The initial attraction has been the beautiful local ikat cloth but more recently it has become famous for its diving and secluded beaches. It is an easy two hour flight from Denpasar on Bali and the island offers tranquillity and white sandy beaches, so this is the ideal place to head for if you are looking for traditional tribal culture mixed with a relaxing beach stay.
Sumba is part of the southern arc of islands in Nusa Tenggara that were formed by raised coral reefs, limestone and sedimentary rock, unlike the volcanic origins of Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo and Flores. There is also strong evidence to suggest that Sumba may in fact be an island fragment torn off northern Australia.
The east Sumbanese are largely dependent on the export of cattle, water buffalo and the famed Sumbanese horse. ew traditional houses remain and virtually the last of the old tombs at Melolo are in a poor state. The region is however home to possibly Sumba's oldest village, Prailiang, and the small collection of traditional homes are certainly located in one of the most stunning settings on the island.
Western Sumba receives significantly more rainfall than the arid east and as a result is home to about two thirds of the island's population. For people visiting Sumba this district certainly has the most to offer, with long stretches of perfect white sand beaches, excellent diving and surfing opportunities and the best preserved traditions of the islanders animist beliefs.
