Southwest Sumba Regency
Administrative districts
The Southwest Sumba Regency when created was composed of eight districts (kecamatan), but since 2010, three additional districts have been created within the Regency, by the splitting of existing districts. The areas (in km) and the populations of the districts at the 2010 census and the 2020 census are listed below, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, and the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 173 rural desa and 2 urban kelurahan - the latter both in Kota Tambolaka District).

Tourism
Several tourist attractions in this district have been widely explored and visited by a variety of local and foreign tourists, but there are only a few who have access to roads and adequate facilities and infrastructure available, namely Mananga Aba Beach, Mbawana beach, Oro Beach, Kawona Beach, Newa Beach, Pantai Waikelo, Sumba Cultural Home, Lake Saltwater Weekuri, and Pabeti Waterfall.
This district includes several traditional villages such as Wainyapu and Ratenggaro on the south-west coast, and others inland. Wainyapu is particularly rich in dolmens, which - as of 2021 - are still built for collective graves.
