Surf Camps in Sumba

Choose your accommodation around the main purpose of the trip, then start with our vetted directory options where they fit. For a cultural trip, Betelnut Eco Lodge is a strong option in Kodi because its stay is shaped by long-term relationships with Wainyapu Village and everyday local life. For a relaxing retreat, Betelnut suits travellers looking for slow beachfront living, while Maringi Sumba offers a purpose-led eco stay with a pool, yoga space and a quieter countryside setting near Tambolaka. For a surf trip, choose accommodation around the breaks you plan to surf. Betelnut has direct beach access, but it is not positioned as a conventional surf camp, so break access should remain the deciding factor.

That depends on your itinerary. Southwest Sumba is practical for Kodi, Weekuri and Ratenggaro, West Sumba suits villages and the west coast, while East Sumba is better for Wairinding, Walakiri and Tanggedu.
