Discover the Spirit of Sumba
Sumba is an island where nature remains wild, traditions run deep, and discovery feels effortless. Whether on land or sea, every experience is an invitation to explore.
Swim in the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Bay and surf the world renowned wave, Occy’s Left, in front of the resort. Watch our horses run along Nihiwatu Beach’s 2.5km stretch. Visit ancient hilltop villages in Lamboya, where generations have preserved their way of life. Follow jungle paths to hidden waterfalls, or walk through the emerald rice fields of Wanukaka that continue to shape the island’s landscape.
At NIHI Sumba, each activity is thoughtfully curated to go beyond recreation. Our experiences are designed to connect you with the island’s culture, its people, and its extraordinary natural surroundings.

Nihigram
Perched high above @nihi, overlooking Nihiwatu, Hillrise Villa opens out to sweeping panoramic views of beach, ocean, and horizon. A one-bedroom private retreat designed for complete escape. Spend your days in a pool at the edge of it all and your evenings catching uninterrupted sunsets.

Your day at NIHI begins with a little bit of magic. A refreshing morning swim, the sound of waves rolling in, and the sight of NIHI’s herd galloping freely along the shoreline below. Moments like these are part of daily life on the Edge of Wildness, where nature quietly sets the rhythm of the day.

A short excursion from NIHI Sumba leads you to Coconut Cove, a quiet stretch of palm trees overlooking calm turquoise waters. The perfect setting for a gentle introduction to surfing, followed by slow moments by the sea and pizza fresh from the stone oven.

The perfect spot to watch a sunset you’ll never forget, where the evenings feel a little wilder.

Venture along 2.5km of white sand on a morning beach ride, where the day begins with horses, ocean air, and an endless stretch of shoreline. With the sound of hooves meeting the rhythm of the waves, the ride follows the coast as the morning light rises over the palms.

Because dreams were never meant to live on paper.
They were meant to be lived.
Wake up to horses grazing, rolling green hills, and endless views of the Indian Ocean.
This is NIHI. Life on the Edge of Wildness.

Start your morning with a game of padel in paradise, where the ocean breeze lifts your spirit and the sound of waves sets the rhythm. At @nihi, play becomes poetry, moments of laughter, movement, and connection woven together on the Edge of Wildness. Here, padel is not just a game, but a love story shared with nature, family, and friends.

Under the New Moon at @nihi, we gather in a calm, sacred setting where the mind softens and the body unwinds. Listen to the gentle rhythm of waves rolling onto Nihiwatu Beach, while our horses wander quietly along the shoreline. Take a moment to set intentions for the cycle ahead, and create space for what’s ready to come.

Raw beauty, untamed adventure, and moments that stay with you forever. Welcome to @nihi. A place that stays with you long after you’ve left. Experience the magic in the spaces between nature and luxury. A retreat from the modern world out on the Edge of Wildness.

There’s a magic that lives on the edge of the wildness. At @nihi, it’s in the sea breeze on your skin, the endless pull of the horizon, and the thunder of horses running free along the shore. NIHI Sumba isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling of deep calm, connection, and escape.
