Destination: Sumba
Some journeys change how you see the world. Onboard ALEXA Private Cruises, time slows so you can reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
This is not just a voyage through Sumba. It’s a rare chance to experience life untethered, in a place where ancient traditions and modern comfort exist in perfect balance.
Choose how each day unfolds. Enjoy wellness rituals on deck, diving excursions with your private instructor, or sunset dinners on a deserted beach. Explore hillside villages and witness rituals unchanged for centuries. No two days are ever the same, because no two guests are.
With your private crew and intuitive service, every detail is effortlessly taken care of. Each moment indulges you, from tailored menus to spa treatments at sea. Discover Sumba with us, where ancient stories and discreet luxury meet.
Life Onboard Alexa
Life aboard ALEXA Private Cruises follows an unhurried rhythm.
Your private chef prepares every meal to suit your tastes — from light, nourishing dishes to lavish seafood feasts, paired with fine wines. Dine barefoot on deck at sunset, or enjoy a candlelit dinner under an open sky. As night falls, stretch out and stargaze in perfect silence. Here, indulgence feels effortless.
Ease into the morning with yoga on deck as the ocean awakens around you. Later, your private wellness therapist offers bespoke spa treatments to restore balance and energy. Everything unfolds the way you desire.
Between adventures, you can relax completely in your private suite or on the deck. At night, unwind beneath a canopy of stars, surrounded by endless sea and sky.
Curate Your Private Expedition
We tailor every expedition to suit your preferences. Your dedicated Cruise Director balances adventure and indulgence, spontaneity and seamless planning. All that’s left for you to do is relax and enjoy the journey.
Begin with a sunrise trek to a remote hilltop, followed by a gourmet breakfast as the first light warms the land. Spend the afternoon sailing toward hidden coves, or visit remote villages steeped in time-honoured traditions. Along the way, your crew ensures every detail is effortless, from preparing refreshments on deck to arranging private guides ashore.
Sail through pristine seas. Walk deserted beaches where yours are the only footprints. Or recline on deck, a chilled drink in hand, as the horizon stretches endlessly ahead.
Discover Sumba’s Living Traditions
In Sumba, ancient traditions are a way of life. Ceremonies honour ancestors, and village rituals remain unchanged for centuries. Savour these moments in privacy and respect, far from the usual paths.
Visit traditional villages with peaked-roof houses standing beside ancient stone tombs. Watch master artisans weave intricate ikat textiles, using techniques passed down through generations. Listen to the rhythmic sounds of daily life — children playing, elders sharing stories, the gentle beat of ceremonial drums. Your personal guide shares insights that bring meaning to every encounter.
These are not performances. They are quiet invitations to experience a culture deeply connected to the land, belief, and community. You are welcomed as a guest, not a visitor. It’s a rare access few travellers ever experience
Wild Landscapes, Private Horizons
Sumba is a land of vast, untamed beauty. Here, golden grasslands stretch toward distant hills, and herds of wild horses roam freely across open plains. These remote places are yours to explore. At your pace, with no one else in sight.
Anchor off hidden pink beaches, the sand warm beneath your feet and the sea crystal clear. Paddleboard across quiet bays, or surf gentle waves at hidden beaches known only to locals. The crew handles every detail, allowing you to focus on the moment.
Each day offers a perfect balance of adventure and serenity. Whether you crave stillness under open skies or wild frontiers to explore, ALEXA Private Cruises creates space to experience Sumba’s raw beauty — without interruption.
