For those who seek excitement while savoring absolute privacy, Nihi Sumba Island is a singular retreat that resides in splendid isolation 400 kilometers east of Bali on the Indonesian Archipelago. Hidden on a secluded bay on the remote southwestern coast of Sumba Island, it offers just six bungalows and two villas, thatch-roofed and hand-built in contemporary Indonesian style by local craftsmen. Acres of dense tropical forest, rice terraces and grasslands add to the luxury that lives in harmony with the Sumbanese people and their island culture.

We had an such a wonderful stay at the awesome Nihi property. Starting with the handling of the checkin procedure in Bali to welcoming us in Sumba made the journey really delightful. We were well taken care off as bad weather led to flight cancellations when leaving Sumba. Fresh coconuts were waiting in the car and after a 90mins drive, we were warmly welcomed by the Nihi team. Our villa was spectacular, the location stunning and the warmth and friendliness of all staff was super great. My wife has some food intolerances and the chef and staff took super care to work around those, this must be applauded as it made a big positive difference for my wife. Spa safari is a must and we were truly glad we hiked there, it made the relaxation so much more enjoyable afterwards! The canoe excursion with Tami was tranquil (Still wondering Tami, how you managed to get soaked 😂) and we were greeted friendly everywhere by locals in and next to the river. The guest captains Marthen, Dida and Valentin worked tirelessly in the background to make our stay as bliss as possible. And still, despite all the pampering, there was a tad of wildness still felt, the horses running at the beach, the informal mingling at the happiest hour and to witness the release of freshly hatched sea turtles was the proverbial icing on the cake. We hope to be back.

One of the best trips I've had so far, the beach was just amazing unlike any other beach in the world. Took us only 1 hour flight from bali yet we arrived on a very different island unlike bali here at sumba. Horses are so cute and just made the trip perfect. Foods are nice and the rooms as well. The team that handled us Petrus, doris and Dinda are the MVP super friendly and literally available 24/7

It was magnificent! The location, the staff, food and accommodation are 7 star! Your every wish is anticipated before you even knew you wanted it. The surf is the best in the world and the yoga with the lovely Emilie is outstanding. You truly are at the edge of wilderness and that’s what makes it so special!
