In contrast to the tourist-heavy Bali, Sumba Island is a hidden gem in Indonesia, characterized by its quietude and natural beauty. After a memorable experience diving into a serene lagoon with my daughter, it became evident that Sumba’s allure lies in its isolation. Just an hour from Bali, Sumba provides a stark contrast with two times the size of Bali but only a fifth of its population. Travelers can enjoy untouched landscapes and authentic experiences without the hustle and bustle, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking peace.
As the Indian Ocean splashed, we swam, jumped again and laughed. We lost track of time, reveling in the tranquility of Sumba's untouched beauty.
Sumba, one of Indonesia's easternmost islands, is just an hour's flight from Bali. But Sumba is as quiet as Bali is thumping.
The island is twice the size of Bali with one-fifth the population. The airport experience is simple and unhurried, setting the tone for a peaceful getaway.
