Cap Karoso, a remote boutique hotel nestled on the westernmost point of the Indonesian island of Sumba, is expanding its offerings with the introduction of a collection of new villas. The villas, available for both rent and purchase, are designed to provide guests with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of Sumba, an island renowned for its unspoiled landscapes, pristine beaches, and unique culture.
Founded by Evguenia and Fabrice Ivara, Cap Karoso embraces sustainability and blends modern design with traditional Sumbanese craftsmanship. The hotel features a striking modernist building with a sprawling infinity pool, juxtaposed with a thatched spa inspired by local villages. The beach club, however, transports visitors to the chic shores of the Côte d’Azur with its vibrant tiles, comfortable daybeds, and open kitchen.
The new villas, designed to accommodate families and groups, offer spacious and luxurious accommodations with private gardens, sunken sofa areas, outdoor decks, and rooftop terraces perfect for private dining. The interiors, carefully curated by Evguenia Ivara, incorporate local craftsmanship with French touches, creating a unique aesthetic that reflects the island’s rich cultural heritage.
Cap Karoso’s expansion goes beyond just luxurious accommodation. The resort is also planning to introduce stables, a recycling plant, and an up-cycling facility on its three-hectare farm.
“Sumba is not a destination for everyone,” explains Evguenia Ivara, “It requires some reflection and a lot of respect to see and understand its beauty.”
Cap Karoso offers a unique opportunity to experience the untouched beauty and cultural richness of Sumba in a luxurious and sustainable environment.
