Newa Sumba Resort is located at the Northwestern coast of Sumba island, Indonesia. It rests on a naturally-kept 100-hectare beach-front area. At Newa, you can experience the beauty of Sumba's nature, and its unique culture.

The Newa Resort
The 100-hectare resort's beachfront area of approximately 1 kilometer in length and the forests along each side of the Newa river, form part of the resort's extensive nature preserve, an ideal sanctuary for wildlife. Bird watching activities is common and many of the bird species are rare and found only in this area.
Or you can just simply lie down and relax on the beach, enjoying your cold drink and let nature spoil you with warm breeze on your skin and the gentle sound of waves in your ears.
 

This hotel provides you with your best oppotunity to relax on your own private beach. The snorkeling was pretty good just in front on the hotel. The food at each meal is plentiful and delicious, local cuisine. The staff was very accomodating and nice. They even provided us a car and driver that took us to the local villages and other beautiful beaches. Visiting the villages is a bit adventurous and not for the faint of heart, but certainly a unique experience.

At present, there are few facilities available for tourists in Sumba, and Newa Sumba Resort is one of the first to offer accomodation for upmarket tourists. The resort will gradually increase its facilities to meet the increasing number of visitors who come to Sumba, either for culturally oriented visits or for nature related holidays. Horseback riding and hiking on native trails are just some of many activities you can enjoy at Newa Sumba Resort.
