A World-Class Coastal Sanctuary

We are pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest luxury beachfront villa resorts in Sumba, offered freehold and in near-new condition. Set on the unspoiled shores of Kandora Beach on Sumba’s tranquil eastern coastline, this remarkable estate represents a masterful fusion of refined European craftsmanship and authentic Sumbanese architectural heritage.

Privately positioned along a pristine stretch of white sand beach, the property is located approximately 35 minutes from Waingapu, the region’s principal village and home to East Sumba’s domestic airport. The setting is both secluded and accessible, offering an atmosphere of rare serenity amid one of Indonesia’s most culturally rich and visually arresting islands.

Designed and developed by its European owner, an experienced mechanical engineer, the resort reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality. Every aspect of the project, from architectural planning and structural engineering to interior detailing and construction execution, was personally overseen to ensure a level of finish and functionality consistent with the world’s most discerning hospitality standards.

The resort comprises a collection of beautifully appointed structures designed to provide privacy, comfort, and seamless engagement with the surrounding landscape:

Four luxury pavilion suites, each decadently styled and finished to exceptional standards, featuring expansive indoor–outdoor ensuite bathrooms with landscaped garden courtyards and uninterrupted ocean views.

One additional studio residence, overlooking the pool, elegantly finished with bespoke detailing, including a striking feature wall crafted from hand-cut local Sumbanese stone.

A grand central pavilion, serving as the heart of the resort, incorporating a high-ceiling open-plan lobby, lounge, dining space, and sophisticated cocktail bar, seamlessly connected to a fully equipped commercial-grade kitchen.

A raised 90 m² infinity horizon pool, holding approximately 108 cubic metres of water, surrounded by extensive ironwood decking and multiple sun terraces overlooking the ocean.

Supporting infrastructure includes fully equipped staff quarters with kitchen and living facilities, utility and storage rooms, laundry services, a dedicated electrical room, and an IT server room.

The estate is further enhanced by a solar power system, complemented by two high-quality backup generators (15 KVA and 25 KVA), ensuring uninterrupted operation. Lush, landscaped tropical gardens feature manicured lawns, endemic tree species, and designated areas for future organic fruit and vegetable cultivation.

Just steps from the villas lies a pristine white-sand beach and crystal-clear turquoise waters, completing an offering of rare natural beauty and understated luxury. The resort’s design, scale, and location combine to create an experience that is both intimate and undeniably world-class.

This is a property of exceptional calibre, suited to private ownership, boutique luxury hospitality, or further expansion into a landmark beachfront destination. Opportunities to acquire freehold, beachfront resort estates of this quality and scale in Sumba are exceedingly rare.
