It all began with two souls Cathy & Pierre-Yves, moved by the same energy.
A calling for the unknown, for meaningful encounters, for the beauty of the unexpected.
Their paths crossed, not by chance, but guided by a shared passion: to travel, to discover, to marvel, and to connect with other cultures.
World citizens at heart, they explored the planet with open minds and wide-open hearts.
Soon, a dream brought them together: the dream of settling down.
Not just anywhere, but in a place where time slows down where human values take precedence over appearances, where simplicity, nature and truth still thrive.
And in Sumba, they found it. A breath of a dream, an instant connection, a love at first sight.
In 2023, what was once a distant vision became an obvious choice. Their new home.
This is where the next chapter begins: The World of Sumba.
A deeply human journey, rooted in respect, sincerity, sharing and wonder.
A French and English-speaking, human-sized, local travel agency, created to unveil the hidden beauty of this extraordinary island.
With gentleness, depth and sincerity.
Each itinerary is designed like a precious jewel box:
Rare encounters. Untouched landscapes. Moments suspended in time.
A tailor-made journey, far from the beaten path, and closer to what truly matters.
The World of Sumba is the reflection of a dream brought to life: to let this island shine in all its beauty, its strength and fragility, and to invite each traveler to reconnect with it in a more meaningful way.
“For me, traveling means losing yourself a little… to find yourself again. ” – Pierre-Yves
“I want every traveler to leave with memories etched for a lifetime. ” – Cathy
With The World of Sumba, we imagine and shape each moment with intention, so that every step becomes an emotion to be fully lived.
Here, travel is not just about reaching a destination: it is felt, it is shared, and it leaves a mark on your soul.
We joyfully share our vision of travel alongside the local community, who open their doors with rare hospitality, offering you genuine, profound and unforgettable moments:
Where every encounter, every landscape, every moment reconnects you to what truly matters.
