# Our story · Eco Beach City Move, build, recover by the sea in Sumba: the people, the days, the series, the team and the school of Eco Beach City. Source: https://ecobeachcity.com/story CHAPTER I · ARRIVE You come for the sea. ECO BEACH CITY · SUMBA You come for the sea. You stay for the people. In Sumba, one hour from Bali, friends from forty countries are building a town where every day starts with sport and ends at one long table by the sea. The founders of Eco Beach City CHAPTER II · FIND YOUR PEOPLE You stay for the people. BELONG ### 160,583 Friends. 176 countries. One island in the middle. People all over the world who already feel part of it. Wherever you are, there are Friends near you. Each dot is a country where Friends told us they live (from the phone number they gave us). The white dot is Sumba. ### The wall of Friends Only Friends who chose to appear. First name, country, number. ### Bring 3 Friends, go first. Share your link. When 3 people join with it, you are first on the Sumba Social Cup list. Your link is on your Friend card. EVERY SUNDAY Sunday, Sumba. At sunset, wherever you are: a run, a game, a long table with your people. Post it with #SundaySumba and we share the best one every week. YOUR CITY Host a Friends meet-up near you. A drink, a run or a padel game with other Friends in your city. We help you find them and set the date. ASK A FRIEND Help someone decide. Friends who have been to Sumba answer questions from people thinking about coming. Want to be one of them? These are for Friends: write your name on your card above first. A DAY HERE ## From the first wave to the last light. You wake up to the ocean. Coffee on the deck, the beach a few steps away, nobody else on it yet. A run with whoever is up. Nobody plans it. Someone knocks, and you go. Work, if you want. A desk with a view, padel when you stop, neighbours who build things too. Your home, furnished and ready. Come for a month, a season or for good. When you are away, it can be rented. The fire, the sea, your people. Golden hour on the deck. This is when strangers become friends. One long table. Dinner with neighbours from all over the world. Nobody eats alone here. Then you do it again tomorrow. This is not a hotel stay. It is a life you keep. A SERIES BY ECO BEACH CITY · COMING SOON ## Who moves to Sumba?

A PERSONAL INVITATION ## I do not want Eco Beach City to be a place people simply pass through. I started this on a two-kilometre beach in Sumba because I wanted a place where people build something, meet someone important, change direction, or start an idea that keeps going long after their time on the island.
