Ratenggaro Village

Ratenggaro Village is a traditional coastal village in Kodi Bangedo, Southwest Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. It is known for its cluster of tall thatched Sumbanese houses (uma kelada) with towering roofs, ancient megalithic tombs in the village center, and its location adjacent to Ratenggaro Beach. The village preserves Marapu traditions and offers insight into Sumbanese architecture, burial customs, and ikat weaving culture.

Visitors can expect a compact traditional settlement on the coast with around a dozen towering thatched houses with high peaked roofs surrounding a central area of large stone megalithic tombs. The village sits directly beside Ratenggaro Beach with views of the sea and estuary. Visitors can walk between houses and tombs, observe traditional architecture, see ikat weaving, interact with residents, and explore the adjacent sandy beach area.
