Surfing | Sumba | Villa
Alayamah is a secluded surf retreat on Sumba Island, where raw beauty meets barefoot luxury. Set on a quiet stretch of coastline with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, it offers direct access to uncrowded waves and pristine beaches just steps from your villa.
Accommodation ranges from ocean-view bungalows to spacious multi-room villas — each designed with natural materials, air conditioning, private Western bathrooms with hot water, and wide verandas that open onto lush gardens or the sea.
Your stay includes three freshly prepared meals daily with a mix of Western and Indonesian flavors, along with complimentary tea, coffee, and purified water. Guests also enjoy free WiFi, daily housekeeping, and surf guiding to nearby breaks suited for all levels. Off the waves, explore Sumba through horseback riding on the beach, village tours, waterfall hikes, and cultural experiences that connect you to the island’s traditions.a

Our Recommendation
For the ultimate Sumba experience, we recommend visiting Alayamah during the dry season (May–September), when offshore winds, sunny skies, and long-period swells light up the island’s reef breaks. Surf uncrowded waves at their best, then retreat to your oceanfront villa for golden sunsets and starlit nights. For a quieter escape, the wet season (December–March) brings playful waves, lush green landscapes, and fewer visitors — ideal for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. The shoulder months (April & October) offer a balanced mix of clean surf, warm weather, and a relaxed, intimate island atmosphere.
