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.

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you donโ€™t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - Iโ€™m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldnโ€™t have been more pleased with Jamesโ€™s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!
