Wera Beach Resort

Top choice in Sumba


About 39km east of the airport, this French-run slice of heaven is a peaceful oasis with two houses. Interiors are pristine white, decked out in rattan furniture and have kitchens; they're available as one-or two-bedroom stays and the two bedder can sleep five. There’s also a neat, bamboo bungalow on the beach. The open-air restaurant (mains 45,000Rp to 220,000Rp) serves French food while wind chimes tinkle in the breeze.

After a famous Indonesian actress Instagrammed a photo from Wera Beach during the filming of Susah Sinyal (hilariously translated to 'Difficult Signal'), Wera Beach's popularity jumped with domestic visitors. You can spend hours on the beach, where turtles lay eggs, or hire a stand up paddle board, kite surf or go on a scuba trip.
