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 absolutely loved our stay at NIHI Sumba. Between riding horses on the beach, surfing, playing padel, and relaxing, there was so much to do and we had a ton of fun with all of it. The food was wonderful as well. But most of all, everybody who works at NIHI Sumba was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful. Asna and Ayu were the best guest captains we could have asked for, and we truly hope to see them again someday!

Nihi is a place beyond words – for me, it was an absolutely magical experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt as if I had stepped into another world: untouched nature, breathtaking beaches, a serene atmosphere, and a warmth that comes not only from the sun but above all from the people. Every single moment here was unique. Whether exploring the stunning surroundings or simply pausing to take it all in, Nihi carries a kind of magic that cannot be described – it has to be lived. It is without a doubt the most beautiful place I have ever had the privilege to see, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. What made this stay truly unforgettable were also the people. Marthen, Duss, Hafido, Putri, Victoria, and Sabine filled every encounter with kindness, care, and joy. They made me feel not just like a guest but like a part of Nihi. Their warmth, authenticity, and passion for this extraordinary place turned my stay into something truly special. Nihi is not just a hotel – it is an experience, a journey to yourself, a place that enchants and transforms you. I am endlessly grateful for my time here, and I can say with full conviction: it was magical, incredibly beautiful, unique, and simply indescribable. 🌺✨

A wonderful place, with incredibly caring, friendly, and accommodating people and staff. Indonesia is a wonderful country, but the most beautiful place we have been fortunate enough to experience is Nihi.

Nihi Sumba is truly a once in a lifetime experience. The staff, the environment, THE HORSES were amazing. The employees were honestly one of the best parts of the trip. And seeing what the Sumba Foundation has done for the community moved me to tears. 10/10 recommend.
