A Sumba honeymoon, planned around the nights

There is no honeymoon package here, because the only thing that changes is which nights you spend where. That is the part worth getting right.

In short

A Sumba honeymoon is a private trip with the driving kept short and the evenings kept free. Five to six days, one or two bases, and no day that exists only to move you.

  • Short drives, free evenings
  • One or two bases, not four
  • Resort nights quoted by the hotel
Usual length
5–6days

1–2
Travellers, twin share

The shape

What we change for two people

The itinerary is not the difference. Pacing is. Four things get planned differently when there are two of you.

  1. The Wairinding hills under low light, East Sumba 01

    Mornings out, afternoons back

    Everything worth seeing here is best early. We finish the driving before the heat and leave the rest of the day alone.

    Wairinding, East Sumba

  2. Riders on Sumba horses above the coast 02

    The things worth doing slowly

    Horses on the sand, a village at the end of the afternoon. Half a day each, not squeezed either side of a drive.

    Horses, Sumba

  3. Mangroves at Walakiri beach, East Sumba 03

    Sunsets planned, not hoped for

    Walakiri, Mbawana and the Wanokaka coast each work on different days. We put you at the right one.

    Walakiri, East Sumba

  4. Lelewatu Resort, West Sumba 04

    One base, if we can

    Moving hotels costs a morning. On a short honeymoon that morning is worth more than the second view.

    A West Sumba resort

If you want the East as well, that is a seven day trip, not a five day one. We will say so rather than compress it.

Honeymoon touches inside a resort are the resort’s to offer. We pass the request on and let them confirm it, rather than promising it for them.

How this one is priced

Two travellers is the top of the land rate card, because one car is shared between two people rather than eight.

  • Two travellers, one car

    A couple sits at the top of the land rate card, not the bottom: the car and the guide are shared two ways instead of eight. That is the card, not a couples surcharge. We quote your exact number in writing.

  • Which bed

    Resort nights are quoted by the hotel and are the largest line on almost every honeymoon quote.

  • When you go

    The land rate is flat year round. The resort rate is not, and that is where the season shows up.
