Hotels with Parking in Lakahembi

We stayed at Kandora for three nights in March of 2024. It was an absolutely delightful stay. Our room was wonderful. It was spotless and decorated beautifully. We had a large private living area and an elegant outdoor shower in an enclosed courtyard. We spent our days touring the eastern part of Sumba and walking and shell collecting on the endless beach which backs up to the Kandora. We swam daily in the Savu Sea and the beautiful Kandora pool. Our meals, especially breakfast, were delicious. The staff at Kandora are incredible. Iwon manages the hotel and saw to our every need from personally meeting us at the airport to preparing our evening cocktails. Angela and Chef Dwi prepared great meals served by Mia. Kandora’s location on the northeast coast of Sumba is ideally situated to explore the rich heritage and natural resources of the eastern part of the island. Our Sumbanese driver Michael spoke perfect English and his local knowledge was enlightening . After a day of exploring there is nowhere better to return to than the luxury and comfort of the Kandora and its amazing staff. We really hated to leave and in retrospect wished we had stayed a few more days.

amazing service and assistance

Loved the staff, all of them were sweet and amazing. Daniel (sorry don’t know how to spell the name correctly ) was amazing and so helpful Love the room and location especially if you want some quiet time. The rooms are spacious and bed comfy. Pool and food (especially the juices) We are very fussy and are surprised with some hotels when you go there and see high reviews. This hotel met expectations and reviews thankfully. Would happily recommend the hotel based off our stay in October 2024

We had an amazing stay at Har's place. The location is nothing short of dreamy, with amazing views of the valley hills just in front. Har has constructed all the houses (I recall around 3-4 now) by himself, you can check on his IG for more detail on how he built them! All of them are really comfortable and unique, following the local architecture, blending with nature and each of them providing a different experience. Har is an expert and consultant on organic farming and produces his own veggies that he uses to cook the most fantastic breakfasts you will ever have, super yummy and different everyday, with the plus of overviewing the views directly from your stay. Don't forget also to order dinner from him, much better than eating anywhere else, every meal was amazing. Har always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable, showed as around his plantation (he plants to reforest the area with a thousand fruit trees!) and the best: he gave us the best tips on the island, pointing spots that are not even in Google Maps and ready to explore. Think on pristine waterfalls, empty beaches, beautiful local villages, hills, etc. Please visit Har and Sumba before it gets ruined by the evils of mass tourism, and please visit with an open mind, it's raw, wild, authentic, and that's why is missing facilities compared with other destinations, but that what make it so unique and special. Thanks so much Har, we cannot wait to visit you again, cannot wait to see your new creations, houses, farm and forest!

The food and services are excellent. Location is also reachable to any locations.

An absolutely stunning place with a breathtaking view of the river and hills right from your window. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and Freddy, the owner, shared great tips and recommendations for traveling around. The kayak river tour is a must — an unforgettable experience! You can even get professional photos and drone videos to capture the memories of this magical place.

Great service, friendly staff. It was 30 minutes to Walakiri beach. Close to airport. Convenient location.
