Cap Karoso
Set on the enchanting, off-the-beaten-path island of Sumba, Cap Karoso is fringed by coral reefs, sparkling lagoons and quiet villages. Ideally positioned to face the ocean, it offers truly breathtaking views.
Cap Karoso is situated on Karoso Beach, one of the world’s most stunning stretches of sand, on Indonesia’s unspoiled Sumba Island. Every aspect of Cap Karoso has been carefully designed to protect this delicate environment and restore areas that have been impacted. This region is where ancient megalithic tombs coexist with uma mbatangu—traditional houses featuring soaring 25-meter-high roofs. Encircled by turquoise lagoons and timeless villages, Cap Karoso serves as a luxurious gateway to the wonders of Sumba. Positioned at the island’s westernmost point, the property offers unparalleled views of the captivating sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
The 44 rooms and 20 villas are designed as a tribute to Sumbanese culture and tropical relaxation. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to provide the utmost comfort while embracing the captivating and enigmatic charm of Sumba.
Cap Karoso’s aim was to introduce the quality and creativity of contemporary French gastronomy to the remote and untamed landscapes of Sumba. Michelin-starred chefs and renowned mixologists craft exceptional menus for the property’s restaurants and bars, using fresh ingredients from the on-site farm and a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits. Enjoy the opportunity to explore various dining settings that highlight the cultural importance of food in bringing people together.
