TEJA SUARA (SOUND OF FIRE)

The distinguishing feature of this bold, primitive residence is the fire pit located at the very edge of the pool, lit every evening to symbolise the essence of its existence: fire.

A primeval ambience depicting a sophisticated / primitive feel rooted in the island of Sumba, emanates from this habitation, constructed from 1,200 tonnes of stone imported from this island. Adorned with tribal cloth furniture and antiques in line with its rugged Sumba architecture and thatched roofs, Tejasuara marks a return to the elements of nature and all its primal power.

Hues of indigo, dark red, brown and the black of rare bamboo dominate Tejasuara in all aspects. The black bamboo beds add to its raw appeal. The buildings which house the four suites are created from old ironwood telegraph poles, coarse stone, rough-hewn logs and woven bamboo.

Extending into fields of lemon grass, which is used as an essential spice in Balinese cuisine and acts as a natural mosquito repellent, and palms endemic to Sumba, the vast terraced gardens play an intrinsic role in creating the character and feel of this expansive residence.

Tejasuara has two Terrace Suites with rice terrace views, located on either side of the upper entrance courtyard, overlooking the pool. The Master Suite has a decadent outdoor shower, Jacuzzi, meditation garden, private courtyard and pavilion, while the Deluxe Suite with its outdoor shower, private pavilion and garden sits directly opposite.
