Nihi Sumba Island

We had a wonderful experience, definitely the best resort we've ever been to! Irul and Anier were the absolute best. So friendly, attentive, and helpful. They assisted with our many needs and questions, always with a warm smile too! Every staff we encountered at Nihi were extremely sweet and made us feel at home. 1000/10 experience, thank you!!

One of the dreamiest locations and atmospheres I’ve ever been to. Upi took such amazing care of us throughout our stay, he truly made our experience at Nihi even more special, and we felt so welcomed and looked after every single day. We felt nothing but warmth and kindness from all the team. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and falling asleep to it every night was the cherry on top. Hope we can come back soon ❤️

Returning to NIHI always feels like coming home. There is something so special about this place: the extraordinary setting, the sense of freedom, and above all, the wonderful NIHI family who welcome you with such warmth and heart. A very special thank-you to our captains, Marthen and Adit, who made this stay unforgettable. Marthen has looked after us several times now and is an absolute legend! Being welcomed back by him makes returning all the more special. Adit is incredibly thoughtful and wonderfully attentive, with such a natural instinct for making you feel cared for. Both were always on top of everything, somehow reading our wishes before we even knew them ourselves! They even surprised us with a private horse run on the beach - a breathtaking moment and a memory we will treasure. Beyond everything they do so brilliantly, they are simply two warm and gentle souls. Their kindness, care and personal touches are such a beautiful part of what makes NIHI truly special. Our heartfelt thanks to them both and to the entire NIHI family. We left with full hearts and cannot wait to come home again.

Amazing place 5 star luxury and 5 star relaxation all while feeling you are adding something to the people’s lives in Sumba . NiHi is a total experince that is authentic and very unique

NIHI Sumba is definitely a unique destination. It is tucked away in the south of Sumba island, a one hour away by plane from Denpasar. Once landed on the island, the resorts picked us up for a 1.5 hour car ride to the hotel. The resort guaranteed us a very smooth and easy transfer. The environnement is breathtaking, with incredibly blue waters. It is very organic and feels quite wild, from the fierce ocean waves crashing into the sand to the famous NIHI horses walking on the beach. The villa is lovely, the view on the sea is beautiful and we were able to perfectly witness the sunset. It was a shame that during our stay the direct access to the beach from our villa was under maintenance. We chose the villa for this feature and were sort of disappointed. The bathroom was quite large and comfortable. One of the resort’s strengths is the effort put into the planned activities. Over the 5 days stay, I haven’t left a single time the resort and haven’t felt even a little bit bored. Each day the resort has planned events for the guests. The most memorable one was the horses race on the beach at sunset with the nearby village kids. The staff also released baby turtles into the ocean at the same time. Food options are a little bit more restricted, with one restaurant opened at a time, although the menu is quite varied. Buffet nights happen on Saturdays; we also enjoyed a barbecue evening. Breakfast was quite enjoyable and healthy. I especially loved the banana pancakes. Service was very kind, attentive and friendly. We had two butlers attending us during the whole stay, they were very nice and helpful . The resort spa is located 15mins away by car (or 2 hours away through a trail). The property feels quite lush, you get to walk up to the spa lobby by crossing rice fields. However, the treatment quality varies from therapist to therapist. You can also ask for spa massages in-villa - this time the therapist that I had was absolutely wonderful. Overall a very wonderful stay. The experience was very unique, I left with a lot of memories.
