NIHI Sumba is an intimate island retreat located in Sumba, Indonesia, where ancient tribal culture uniquely forms the backdrop to an extraordinary experience of adventure, unregulated freedom, understated luxury, and unforgettable memories. The resort is an outpost connecting you to world-class surfing, the best sport-fishing in Indonesia, hiking through breath-taking waterfalls, ancient villages, and butterfly trails.

The magic of Nihiwatu Beach lies in the local life that unfolds before your eyes. A meeting place for hundreds of villagers, the beach is a source of food, a place to fish in the morning and hunt for squid at sunset, to wash ponies in the ocean, walk buffalo along the shore and race horses with friends.

Raw and unfiltered. It is simply life in Sumba, natural and shaped by traditions that have lived on here for generations.

Not just an ordinary hotel.

Wake to uninterrupted ocean views from your bed, where morning light dances across the water, mist rises from the hills, and Nihiwatu’s white-sand beach awaits below. Discover an island shaped by deep-rooted culture, soulful traditions and the warmth of its people.

A wellness experience unlike any other awaits at Nihioka Spa.

Five kilometres from the resort, the journey begins on foot, horseback, or by safari Jeep through traditional villages and rolling hills. Your first glimpse awaits at the Nipi Lima Wishing Hand, where NIHI Spa appears between the rice fields and the ocean below.

Set across 100 acres of Nihioka, this is wellness shaped by nature. Design your own experience with open-air treatments that unfold over hours, carried by ocean breezes and skilled hands.

Equine massage, reiki, hidden coves, and even a private villa stay are all part of the magic awaiting you at NIHI Spa Safari.

Sunset scenes at NIHI Sumba. Local boys bathing their horses in the ocean, surfers catching the last waves of the day, palm trees silhouetted against the sky and the water glistening in the golden light. The soul of the island, at its most beautiful.

If heaven was a place on earth, it might look a little like NIHI.

There is something endlessly beautiful about watching horses roam free, running the shoreline and swimming in the ocean, life as it was intended. These majestic creatures are woven deeply into the culture of Sumba, companions to its people and part of the very soul of the island.

Enjoy the quiet life at NIHI Sumba.

Peaceful mornings, the sounds of nature, space to slow down and disconnect.

This is the magic of NIHI, the soul of the island felt in every breeze, every wave and every still moment. A place where the wild beauty of Sumba seems to soften time itself.
