Private Pool Villas Beyond Bali: Discover Sumba – NIHI Sumba

It’s easy to find a Bali villa with a private pool. But real privacy is harder to come by. Many Bali villas feel crowded or staged, with little space to unwind. If you’re looking for something quieter and truly restful, consider Sumba.

On the island of Sumba, a short and seamless journey from Bali, NIHI Sumba’s private villas offer a different kind of escape. Here, every villa comes with a private pool and room to breathe. Sumba is peaceful, brimming with lush natural beauty, ocean views, and no crowds. Getting here from Bali is simple, but the experience is completely different: more spacious, more personal, and designed for real relaxation.

Architecture That Reflects the Land

NIHI Sumba’s villas are shaped by the island, crafted from local wood, stone, and alang-alang grass that mirror Sumba’s traditional homes and landscapes. Each space blends seamlessly with its surroundings, inviting the outdoors in while ensuring complete comfort and privacy.

The private pools are central to the villa’s designs, carefully positioned for sweeping ocean or jungle views. Outdoor living areas flow directly into the water, making it easy to move between cool swims, shaded verandas, and the beauty of nature. Every villa feels woven into the nature , offering real privacy and the gentle calm of Sumba, inside and out.
