Raw Paradise

I’ve been to some pretty idyllic places, but our current location ranks highly, Sumba. It’s a raw, semi-primitive island in Indonesia with plenty of waves, dreamy white sandy beaches and unique local culture. 

It’s the dry season here, so we’re scoring endless 36-degree clear skies and sublime water temps. There have been waves daily, especially for the groms, who have inherited my passion for Indo surf trips. Looks like we’re going to be platinum flyers on Garuda!

If I could use artificial intelligence to create the perfect family getaway with a variety of easily accessible waves & unspoiled white sandy beaches, CHATGPT would spit out The Sanubari – where we are staying for the week – a small boutique hotel planted right on a remote beach with waves. Say no more.
