Sofanda Resort – Our Recommended Accommodation

For visitors to Mount Tambora, we highly recommend Sofanda Resort & Dive as the ideal place to stay before or after your trek.

Located on a beautiful white-sand beach overlooking the Flores Sea, Sofanda Resort combines comfortable beachfront accommodation with genuine Sumbawan hospitality. Its peaceful location makes it an excellent base for exploring the Tambora region, while offering easy access to both Mount Tambora and the surrounding islands.

Day Trips & Experiences

In addition to accommodation, Sofanda Resort offers a variety of professionally organized excursions, including:

• 🏝 Satonda Island – Visit the unique volcanic island and its famous saltwater crater lake.
• 🦈 Swimming with Whale Sharks in the pristine waters of Saleh Bay.
• 💦 Mata Jitu Waterfall on Moyo Island – the spectacular waterfall made famous by Princess Diana’s visit.
• 🚤 Island hopping
• 🤿 Snorkeling excursions
• 🎣 Fishing trips
• 🚤 Private boat charters

Boat Transfers

Sofanda Resort also arranges boat transfers between:

• Sumbawa Besar ⇄ Sofanda Resort
• Moyo Island ⇄ Sofanda Resort

This makes the resort an excellent gateway for exploring both Mount Tambora and the northern coast of Sumbawa.

Room Availability

Occasionally, online booking websites may indicate that Sofanda Resort is fully booked. However, due to room allocations across different booking channels, accommodation is sometimes still available directly through the resort.

If you cannot find availability online, we recommend contacting the resort before making alternative arrangements.
