We had the most incredible stay at Cap Karoso. From the moment we were met at the airport to the heartfelt farewell (complete with pastries and waves goodbye!), every detail was beautifully handled. The resort is stylish and serene, with thoughtful touches like daily gifts during turndown, a stunning outdoor bathtub, and a relaxed beach club serving exceptional pastries. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture of Sumba. We especially loved the flexibility and personal service—like the team monitoring our delayed return flight and offering a late checkout without us even asking. It’s the kind of place where you feel truly cared for. Perfect for those seeking something more meaningful than your average luxury resort. We left feeling both pampered and inspired—already dreaming about our return!

Our stay at this venue was, without question, the most extraordinary travel experience we’ve ever had. We spent two weeks here and could have easily stayed longer—it truly felt like home. The team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for, creating an atmosphere that felt more like staying with a generous friend in their (very, very beautiful) home than at a typical resort. The food was exceptional, the environment impeccably clean, and the experiences on offer were unlike anything we’ve encountered before. Rather than standard resort activities, we were invited into genuinely meaningful, locally run experiences—like learning traditional weaving in a nearby village, swimming with wild horses, snorkelling in the stunning lagoon, and even visiting a local primary school to help teach English to the sweetest children. A particular highlight was our Julang fine dining experience with the phenomenally talented Robbie Noble, assisted by the equally brilliant Lucy Whitlow. What an absolute joy it was to sample their beautiful creations—and even more special to come away with a couple of new friends, too! Our time at Cap Karoso far exceeded our already high expectations. It’s a place we will always remember with full hearts. A huge thank you to the wonderful David, Kiri, and the entire team—you made this experience truly unforgettable.

We spent six nights at this beautiful place in Sumba and had a really special experience. From the start, the team made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after with a kindness that felt very natural and sincere. The food was a real highlight ! Thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and full of subtle flavors. Every meal felt carefully considered without being over the top. We also really appreciated the way Kiri handled guest relations : always present, calm, and attentive in a way that made a big difference. She made things feel easy and personal, which we really valued. This is the kind of place that stays with you, and we’re already thinking about coming back.

Cap Karoso was a mystery to us at first. It had amazing reviews but not too many, and hardly anyone we knew had heard of it. Plus, it’s on Sumba, a beautiful but lesser-known island in Indonesia. It turns out it’s just a short, affordable flight from Bali (around 50 minutes), and once we arrived, we knew right away we had found something special. We originally booked for five days but extended our stay by another five almost immediately. That says it all. The setting, the vibe, the people, it just works in a way that’s hard to describe. The staff is exceptional. Everything runs smoothly and discreetly, and when you need something, it just happens. David, the manager, is incredibly professional and kind. You can feel that the team truly cares and adjusts to each guest's needs with thoughtfulness and flexibility. The hotel itself is more beautiful than in the photos. Rooms and villas offer stunning views, and everything inside is perfectly curated for a luxurious yet relaxed experience. The food is excellent, and the events with international chefs really elevated our stay – such a creative and delicious touch. There’s something about the atmosphere that reminded us more of Hawaii than Bali. It’s peaceful, green, and intimate, with a truly gorgeous beach. There are also so many activities on offer that you could easily spend weeks here and never get bored. One thing we really loved was seeing the hotel’s owners join the events from time to time. It’s not something you often see, and it gave the whole place a sense of soul and purpose. It made everything feel more personal, more connected, and more real. Cap Karoso is already a world-class hotel, and it’s clear they have big dreams for the future. We can’t wait to come back. It’s the kind of place you tell your friends and family. Definitely our number one in Indonesia so far.
