NIHI Sumba (formerly Nihiwatu) is a secluded sanctuary of barefoot-luxe on Indonesia’s untouched Sumba Island—just a 60-minute flight east from Bali’s Ngurah Rai (DPS) airport. Our Bali team handles all domestic flights and ticketing with ease, ensuring your arrival feels effortless.
Upon landing at Tambolaka (TMC), your journey unfolds in style: you’ll be collected in our Safari-Style, open-air Land Rover vehicles for a 90-minute drive (about 39 miles). This is no ordinary transfer—it’s a window into another world. Rolling hills, lush landscapes, and villages untouched by time set the stage before you even glimpse the ocean.
And then, NIHI reveals itself. Known for world-class surfing on the legendary Occy’s Left, unforgettable equestrian adventures along sweeping beaches, philanthropic partnerships that uplift the local community, off-the-beaten-path hikes, immersive wellness journeys, and so much more—this is the “Edge of Wildness” where adventure and indulgence meet.
At the heart of it all are 28 villas designed for complete seclusion and serenity, blending Sumbanese artistry with modern luxuries like private plunge pools and panoramic sea views.
As a proud member of Leading Hotels of the World, Virtuoso, The Edit by Chase Travel, Mr & Mrs Smith, and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, NIHI Sumba delivers an experience as exclusive as the traveler it attracts.
