An Immersive Journey
to the Wild Wellness of NIHI

At NIHI Sumba, the Spa Safari is a signature journey designed to awaken the senses and immerse you in Sumba’s untamed beauty at NIHI Spa. It’s where you’ll have a combination of indulgent treatments chosen by you from the spa menu to have in a serene sanctuary perched on emerald cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Your experience begins with a choice of arrival: an invigorating 120-minute coastal trek, a 90-minute horseback ride or cycle, or a 15-minute drive in an open-air safari vehicle across Sumba’s dramatic western coastline to the secluded Nihioka Valley. Rolling hills and traditional villages set the scene for what lies ahead.

Upon arrival, you are welcomed with a refreshing cool towel and a fresh young coconut plucked from our own palm trees. Then a nourishing breakfast awaits served at Nihioka’s treehouse platform. Take in panoramic ocean views suspended above a private cove.

When you’re ready, you’re guided to a private bale where your dedicated therapists tailor your chosen treatments to your preferences. Choose from full-body massages, cooling wraps, organic facials, body scrubs, and foot reflexology using natural, locally sourced ingredients. You can even include a therapeutic horse massage as part of your Spa Safari from our Equine Wellness offerings.

The hardest choice you’ll have to make all day is how long you want the indulgence to last. Choose between a half-day or a full day Spa Safari experience and enjoy as much time as you want at NIHI Spa, unwinding by the freshwater infinity pool, exploring Nihioka’s wild beaches, or relaxing beneath the palms.

A new chapter begins on the shores of Nihiwatu as @nihi’s new Riding & Racquet Club meets the Edge of Wildness.

A private members’ club aesthetic, translated onto the sand, with an international tennis court and a terrace overlooking the ocean for sunset drinks. This is where the romance of great polo clubs meets the raw, elemental beauty of Sumba.

The Riding & Racquet Club is unlike anywhere else. A concept that could only exist at NIHI.

The first glimpse of NIHI is one you’ll never forget. As the road opens and the coastline unfolds below, it’s hard to imagine anything could live up to the view.

Then you settle in, and somehow, it does. From wild horses and world-class waves to quiet mornings, endless ocean views and moments you’ll carry home with you, NIHI is one of those rare places that exceeds every expectation.

Listen to the natural sound of hooves pounding the sand along Nihiwatu Beach as our Sumba horses runs 2.5 km stretch of shoreline. Palm tree shadows stretch across the beach, and the herd runs exactly as nature intended, free, wild and at one with nature. 🤍

Mornings begin with horses running freely along the shoreline, mist drifting over the hills, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean in the distance.

A refreshing swim, breakfast by the sea, and nowhere else to be but here.

It’s the kind of place that reminds you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and soak up the beauty around you.

Perched above the Indian Ocean, Raja Mandaka is the owner’s private villa and the crown jewel of NIHI. Designed for complete privacy, it overlooks Nihiwatu Beach, where horses gallop free on the white sand and sunsets melt into the horizon.

From sunrise swims to evenings spent listening to the waves below, every moment here feels worlds away.
