that takes many hours/days to drive around. What part of Sumbawa are you planning on visiting?
OK, my guess is you are either going to SW Sumbawa near the PT Newmont mine, or you are going to surf??
If my guess is correct, then you should fly to Sumbawa Besar.
If you are interested in Bima, which is at the Eastern end of Sumbawa (more than a day's drive from one end to the other), then you can fly there.
You can hire a car in Sumbawa Besar and drive to Sekongkang (about a 5 hour drive). But if you are only going for 2 days that may not be practical.
There are a number of hotels around Sekongkang and Maluk that I know of, but no point going into all that with the limited information you have provided.
