At NIHI we have hosted some extraordinary weddings, initiating a union of adventure for newlywed couples. Our team can accommodate the most intimate affair, or support a resort-wide takeover. We’ve even orchestrated an impromptu ceremony for enamored guests when the mood struck.
Sumba weddings are loaded with culture. Whether you choose to marry on our long stretch of beach, in the mystical rain forest, or clifftop above the ocean, exotic romance is captured by the colorful ceremony of local tradition.
Village priests will lead the ceremony, which includes cultural beliefs such as chewing local Betel nut, a marriage ritual symbolizing the sealing of the union, similar to the exchanging of rings. Other features such as Sumbanese wedding garments, a ceremonial march of horses or water buffalo, fire dancers, and more may be incorporated for an authentic, and euphoric, Sumbanese celebration.
We can welcome up to 70 adults in 36 rooms. Please inquire about shared/group villas and space for children.
In this unique celebration of enduring love, Nihi Forever provides NIHI Sumba honeymooners in 2025 with the opportunity to relive the intimate adventure, connection, and beauty of their honeymoon with a complimentary return stay in 2032. Nihi Forever is a honeymoon experience unlike any other: Couples who book their honeymoon at NIHI Sumba in a Marangga category (or higher room at rack rate) will be invited back — with our compliments — for a return stay of equal length, seven years later on their anniversary.
