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.

Raw, simple moments.

Two horses lingering at the water’s edge, their wet hooves sinking into the sand as waves roll in and out around them. No saddles, no riders, no destination. Just the quiet rhythm of the ocean and the freedom to simply be.

These are the moments that stay with you long after Sumba.

When the early morning mist still sits over Nihiwatu Beach and you wake up to breakfast overlooking wild horses living free along the shore. There’s nowhere else on earth quite like this. @nihi is less a destination and more a dream you never want to leave.

As the sun rises, Sumba and a daily life that harks back to a bygone era awakens. The island of Sumba is one that is raw in its beauty and rich with culture. @nihi takes you beyond the resort and into the culture of Sumba where you can feel the true soul of the island.

Perched above the wild beauty of Nihiwatu, @nihi’s Putri Hillrise Villa looks out across endless ocean views, rolling coastline, and glowing sunsets. This two-bedroom sanctuary was designed for slowing down, switching off, and disappearing into nature. Drift between quiet mornings by the pool and evenings where the sky melts into the sea.
