Oro Beach Houses & Restaurant

Top choice in Sumba


On four wild beachfront hectares, you can nest in a circular thatched bungalow with canopied driftwood beds and outdoor bathrooms. Oro offers excellent meals, mountain bikes and snorkelling (each 50,000Rp) just off its stunning 200m-long beach.

There are six rooms, including two bungalows with air-con and fan-only beach houses and villas. Motorbikes available for 150,000Rp per day.

Low-lying bluffs, lilac dawns, smouldering sunsets and starry night skies are just some of the highlights here, all best enjoyed with drinks delivered to you by the beach. Tambolaka Airport is 20 minutes away by potholed road; transfers can be arranged for 120,000Rp per car.
