Tailored to indulge each of your senses and plunged into a world where the frontier of reality quickly surrenders to limitless freedom, our Spa Safari ™ is not to be missed. Intimate treatment bales dramatically perch on emerald-green cliffs with sweeping ocean views, giving way to deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

Your journey begins with an invigorating 90-minute trek, a 90-minute horse ride or by a 15-minute ride in an open-air safari vehicle across Sumba’s dramatic west coast to nearby Nihioka valley through the rolling hills and cultural villages. Upon arrival, guests are rewarded with a cool towel and young coconut and then have the option to enjoy a healthy cooked breakfast or lunch in the Nihioka treehouse platform, impressively nestled over a private natural cove with views of the vast ocean at your fingertips.

After breakfast or lunch, guests can relax in their own private bale with dedicated spa therapists providing any number of spa treatments from full body massage, cooling and rejuvenating wraps, organic facials, and body scrubs, to foot reflexology using natural and local ingredients.

Ultimately the experience is centered upon you; your wants, your needs and at whatever pace truly allows you to unwind and feel free. In between treatments, guests can play out their day on the wild beaches below, in the palm tree forest, or floating in our freshwater infinity pool. Return to the resort in an open-air vehicle either at midday or as the sun begins to set, having experienced both adventure and serenity in equal wondrous measures. Guests with previous riding experience may also choose to go back to NIHI® on a horse, or adventure by bicycle.
