Maringi Sumba by the Sumba Hospitality Foundation
Maringi Sumba is a purpose-led eco resort where comfortable stays, student-led hospitality and responsible tourism directly support opportunities for Sumba’s young people.
What sets us apart
We are more than a place to stay. As the training hotel of the Sumba Hospitality Foundation, our guests are welcomed by students developing real hospitality careers, while every stay supports education, community empowerment and a more responsible future for tourism on Sumba.
Makan Dulu Restaurant by the Sumba Hospitality Foundation
Makan Dulu brings Sumbanese cuisine to the table with an international twist, while every meal helps train the island’s next generation of hospitality professionals.
What sets us apart
We are a working training restaurant of the Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Guests enjoy local flavours, attentive service and a relaxed setting while students gain real-world experience. All restaurant income is reinvested into the Foundation, supporting vocational education and career opportunities for young Sumbanese people.
Betelnut Eco Lodge
An intimate, solar-powered beachfront eco lodge in Kodi where families, couples and conscious travellers experience slow living, village connection and nature-led adventure.
What sets us apart
We are not a conventional resort or surf camp. Our intentionally small, off-grid home is shaped by long-term relationships with Wainyapu Village, combining direct beach access, locally built accommodation, communal full-board dining and genuine participation in everyday Sumba life.
