A Scenic Hike to
a Treehouse Breakfast.

One of the island’s most rewarding hikes, this journey leads from NIHI Sumba to our secluded NIHI Spa at Nihioka.

Depart through the resort gates and follow your guide through landscapes that unfold into different terrains of jungle, valley, and coastline. This 90 minute hike teaches you about the region’s diverse wildlife and introduces you to the traditions of the local communities, including a visit to a traditional Sumbanese village.

Upon arrival to NIHI Spa at Nihioka, you’ll be welcomed with chilled towels and a fresh young coconut before settling down to a rustic open-fire breakfast, served in a shaded treehouse platform perched high above a pristine cove. Have a relaxing breakfast with only nature as your company before leisurely enjoying the time in this serene location.

Overview

Depart through the resort gates, and start your trek through a palm tree forest as you embark on our award-winning Spa Safari™. Your guide will talk you through the vast and changing landscape, and varied local wildlife and traditional communities, before stopping in a traditional Sumbanese village.

Next, you will descend to Nihioka Valley. Splash through freshwater streams and hike over cascading rice paddy fields, all leading to epic panoramic views of the Indian Ocean with surprises along the way.

Be greeted with cold towels and a refreshing coconut, before sitting down to an open flame breakfast all served on a shaded treehouse platform, high above the coast’s crashing waves. After breakfast, stroll along our magnificent beaches and relax at your leisure.

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.

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.

Today was Pasola Gaura in Sumba. Once a year, the island’s ancient traditions come vividly to life as villages gather for Pasola, one of Sumba’s most powerful and sacred rituals. From @nihi, guests have the rare opportunity to witness this extraordinary cultural event.

Riders charge across the field on horseback, hurling wooden spears in a dramatic contest between rival villages. The spectacle is intense, fast paced, and deeply symbolic.

For the Sumbanese, Pasola is far more than competition. It is believed that when blood touches the earth during the battle, it blesses the land and ensures a prosperous rice harvest for the season ahead.

A tradition centuries old, Pasola remains one of the most extraordinary cultural experiences in Indonesia.

Ocean views from another perspective bring a serene sense of majesty to the Edge of Wildness. Waves roll onto the shore, smoothing the sand as @nihi’s herd of horses meander gracefully against a backdrop of swaying palms. These are the picturesque moments in Sumba that leave you mesmerized by its untouched beauty.
