Welcome to Sumba Island, the name "Sumba" is derived from the native language, humba or hubba (in various Sumbanese dialects), which means “original”, “native”, “indigenous” or “no interference” referring to the native inhabitants of this island who identified themselves. Sumba is one of the exotic paradises in eastern Indonesia. The vast expanse of savanna, rows of limestone hills, the white perfectly beaches, the stunning of waterfalls, and the splendor of nature that is so beautiful blend perfectly with the local wisdom. The villages on this island are mostly built on hilltops with houses that still carry the traditional concept of thatched roofs. The majority of the houses are built near ancestral graves, because most of the local residents embrace the Marapu belief, namely the belief in worshiping ancestors.
