Sabu Raijua Regency, Administrative region in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
The regency spans across three islands in the Savu Sea, covering 459 square kilometers between Sumba and Rote Islands.
The region gained autonomous status in November 2008 when Indonesia's Minister of Home Affairs separated it from Kupang Regency.
The population maintains traditional practices while incorporating Protestant beliefs brought by Dutch missionaries throughout the islands.
The territory divides into six administrative districts: Sabu Barat, Sabu Tengah, Sabu Timur, Sabu Liae, Hawu Mehara, and Raijua.
The marine waters surrounding the regency contain extensive coral reef systems within the Sawu Marine National Park, established in 2009.
