Waingapu · East Sumba · NTT

Where the Island Slows Down

Wooden cottages, tropical gardens, and warm Sumbanese hospitality — your eco-friendly retreat in the heart of Waingapu.

Our Story

Built from Wood, Rooted in Nature

Casa Kandara is a collection of wooden cottages set within an eco-friendly environment on the outskirts of Waingapu, East Sumba. Each cottage is crafted from natural teak, surrounded by tropical gardens, and designed to let you exhale.

A warm smile waits at the front desk. A pool shimmers under open sky. A restaurant serves Indonesian flavours made with care. This is not just accommodation — it is a place where your stay becomes a memory.
