Join us on Sumba’s west cape from Christmas Eve to the first morning of the new year. Dinner is laid on Karoso Beach on the 24th and the 31st. Pasola riders, local dancers, guided meditation and tales of Sumba’s myths around the bonfire fill the days. Children have a programme of their own each day, from making a sandy snowman to caring for the horses.
