Make sure to sort out how you\u2019ll get from the airport to your resort. Some high end resorts like Nihi Sumba and Lelewatu include airport transfers in their packages.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Choose the Right Time: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry season (May-October) is popular with tourists due to clear sky and beautiful savannas. If you prefer greenery, try the rainy season (November-April) but be aware that some roads might be more challenging to navigate during heavy rain.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Immerse in the Local Culture: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumba has many cultures. Look out for events like the \u201cpasola\u201d where warriors on horseback charge at each other with wooden spears. If you can catch this, it\u2019s a must see. Remember to dress modestly and respect the local tradition when visiting traditional villages.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Pack the Essentials:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even with a luxury resort waiting for you, it\u2019s still a good idea to bring your personal items like prescription meds, high-SPF sunscreen (the sun can be strong here) and mosquito repellent.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Respect the Environment and Local Customs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wherever you go, it\u2019s always important to keep things clean. Don\u2019t litter and try to minimize your impact on the environment. When interacting with the local community, show genuine interest in their culture and be polite.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_a_Luxury_Hotel\"><\/span><b>Why a Luxury Hotel?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some might think,<strong> \u201cWhy splurge on a luxury hotel in Sumba?<\/strong> Wouldn\u2019t backpacking be more fun?\u201d That depends on your travel style.
