SLOW TRAVEL in Sumba, Indonesia

Oh Sumba, sweet Sumba! A surprising little gem that looks as exotic as she sounds. Not only sublimely quieter in comparison with her bigger island sister, Bali… Sumba still breathes with old-island culture and charm.

This is not just a picture-perfect postcard waiting to be taken, this is a Globetrotting horse-riding holiday of a lifetime, and Sumba may very well be the BEST kept secret on the planet! Giddy up!
