Sumba Island

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

Ernest Hemingway

2014 - 2016

A Magical Place

Sumba was known amongst foreign traders as being an island of fierce warriors where headhunting expeditions were common. It’s a place of strong traditions and beliefs were we still can find genuine people.

My journey in Sumba begun in September 2014 when I started doing photography for Nihiwatu Resort. Four days after arrival, I was moving to one of the most remote and raw islands in Indonesia, 50 minutes by plain from Bali. I can say that it was love at first sight!

A primitive island, where the local language, religion and traditional lifestyle has been preserved from the western cultures through out the centuries. Here we can find a highly stratified society based on caste and one of the few places in the world with megalithic burials. The Pasola, a stage fight between rivals on horse back, is the island’s yearly most important.

A magical place with it’s own believes and traditional houses, where every one is welcome.

    Hanging Gardens of Bali, Ubud
    Nested in the most mystical jungle area of Ubud, we can find Hanging Gardens of Bali. A luxurious resort surrounded by lush rain forest and picturesque rice terraces, overlooking Ayung River and the ancient Dalem Segara temple. The perfect place to relax immersed in the most magical and natural atmosphere.

    Misool
    Diving in Misool is an explosion of live and senses, making hard to believe that it’s a real world. The range of colour on every dive site and the out-of-water landscape is simply amazing and I’m not sure if a Pantone catalog would be enough to describe how colourful it is!
