Sumba has several government-run clinics (Puskesmas) and regional hospitals in Tambolaka and Waingapu. These can handle basic medical needs, but advanced or emergency care is limited. Most serious cases are referred to Bali or Jakarta. For long-term stays, it's recommended to have international health insurance and, if needed, access to air evacuation services.

Main roads between towns like Tambolaka and Waingapu are paved and generally accessible year-round, although they may have potholes or limited lighting. In more remote areas, roads can be unpaved and rough, especially during the rainy season. Most travel is done by car or motorbike; public transportation is minimal.

However, the road leading to Kabisu is brand new.

Mobile coverage is improving, with providers like Telkomsel and XL offering decent signals in populated areas. Internet is available via mobile data and satellite services like Starlink in some regions. However, speeds can vary, and outages are not uncommon in rural zones.

Kabisu uses a combination of local providers and satellite-based internet (such as Starlink) to ensure reliable connectivity for residents and guests.

The island is connected to the national power grid, and most towns and villages have electricity. However, power outages still occur, particularly during storms or maintenance periods. Many homes and accommodations use solar panels or generators as backup.

Kabisu will rely primarily on solar energy during the day, with the national grid and generators serving as backup sources to ensure consistent and reliable power.

Water access varies by location. In urban areas, piped water or wells are common. In rural areas, people rely on rainwater collection, wells, or water deliveries. Boiling or filtering water is recommended for drinking. Dry season shortages can affect availability.

At Kabisu, water is carefully managed using a hybrid system: rainwater is collected and used for watering gardens, groundwater wells supply water for daily use like showers and cleaning, and drinking water is provided in sealed gallon containers to ensure hygiene and safety.

Bahasa Indonesia is the national language and widely used. Sumba also has several local languages and dialects such as Kambera, Wejewa, and Kodi. English is spoken in some tourist-facing areas but is not commonly used outside of that context.
