Reinventing Beachfront Hospitality at Cap Karoso

Indonesia's southeastern Sumba island is set to welcome a new destination for explorers, a place where eco-conscious travel, authenticity, and community merge to create a stylish retreat. Cap Karoso—named for the stunning Karoso beach on which it is located—presents a gateway into the tightly preserved culture and landscape of Sumba, with contemporary interior design by Bitte Design Studio fusing with local tradition and craft to create an artful backdrop. Led by first-time hoteliers Fabrice and Evguenia Ivara, the hotel pays equal reverence to both local Marapu culture and French flair, grounded in the duo's Parisian roots. The result is a hideaway of 47 rooms and 20 beachfront villas, where contemporary design, natural treasures, and local culture come together to dramatic effect.
