Luxury Boutique Hotel in the untamed Sumba

Sumba offers an idyllic backdrop for unwinding and rediscovering the harmony of nature while immersing yourself in one of the world’s most ancient and untouched cultures. Quiet waves, mesmerizing landscapes, secluded location, pristine beaches, and the intuitive service provided at Alamayah converge to create the perfect haven for a tranquil and revitalizing holiday.

For surfers, Sumba is a hidden gem. A paradise where the waves have been a well-kept secret, waiting for you to explore.

The Hotel

Nestled in the picturesque beachside village of Kerewe in the southwestern part of Sumba, Alamayah stands as a unique 5-star boutique retreat, offering an unparalleled escape. Envisioned amidst the lush embrace of coconut trees, Alamayah beautifully marries luxury with nature, affording breathtaking vistas of the Indian Ocean and the untamed jungles that adorn its coastline. Every aspect of Alamayah has been meticulously curated to create an environment that rejuvenates and elevates the senses.

The hotel features six uniquely designed private suites, a spa with contrasting bath therapy (comprising ice baths and hot baths), a massage room, a well-equipped fitness centre, a tranquil steam room, flourishing gardens, and a farm-to-table restaurant.

Waves at Alamayah

The Sumba coastline is known for its consistent swells, catering to a wide range of surfers. Whether you’re an experienced surfer craving the challenge of big, powerful waves or a novice looking for gentler breaks, there’s always a perfect spot for you to ride the waves.

At Alamayah, the dedicated surf guides are available full-time and also have a Jetski and two boats at your disposal (not just for transportation to the surf spots but also for assisting with tow-ins and paddling). Most waves can be also reached by scooter or car.

Additionally, Alamayah provides complimentary surfboards for its guests, including short boards, foam boards, longboards, and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). Surf lessons for beginners are also available.

Why We Love Alamayah

The easy access to consistent uncrowded waves!

The attention to detail and unique design of the suites, where nature meets luxury!

The remote beauty of Sumba. Unlike any other part of Indonesia, the resort sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
