Even with travel largely on pause, hoteliers around the globe have had to keep things humming whether they were running a hotel or building one. Despite the pandemic, there has been a constant stream of new hotel openings this year, giving us more reason to dream of our next city getaway or beach holiday. Case in point: Cap Karoso in Sumba, Indonesia—a brand-new hotel with 47 rooms and 20 beachfront villas with social spaces including the Julang restaurant, Explorer’s beach club, a spa, main pool, open-air cinema and more. The Indonesian archipelago may have over 17,000 islands but Sumba has captured the hearts and imagination of curious adventurers, including Fabrice and Evguenia Ivara, the first-time hoteliers behind Cap Karoso.
