Invest in Sumba – Discover Prime Land for Sale in Sumba

Where Opportunities Never End

Sumba is one of Asia’s last unspoiled islands, and it is still early in its story as a place to own land. Time Out named Sumba the best place to visit in Asia for 2025, and much of the island is still rural and undeveloped.

Plots on our current listings start at around IDR 1 billion, and land here costs far less per square metre than in Bali.

Daily Batik Air and NAM Air flights from Bali to Tambolaka make the island easy to reach, and there is still a wide choice of beachfront and hillside land.

Selling and Buying Land in Sumba

We help you buy and sell land in Sumba with confidence. Our team sources prime plots, negotiates fair prices, and guides you through every step of the deal. Whether you are investing or building a home, we match you with the right land for your goals.

Checked Before You Commit

Before you commit to a plot, it goes through a thorough due diligence: ownership, boundaries, tax status and legal standing, with a licensed notary (PPAT) and an independent surveyor carrying out the formal checks. You see the documents as they come in, and anything that does not add up reaches you while you can still walk away.
