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.

No, this is not AI. This is NIHI.

Here, horses are at the heart of the culture, carrying generations of tradition, ceremony and an enduring sense of freedom.

Across the island, local Sumbanese people bring their horses to the sea to bathe and swim. At NIHI, our horses also enter the ocean daily, swimming or simply standing in the shallows as the cool water washes over them.

One of the comments we receive most often is that these scenes must be AI. But no, everything you see on this page is real, authentic and unmistakably Sumba.

Arrive at NIHI by helicopter, just 17 minutes from Tambolaka Airport. Take in the beauty of Sumba from the air and see the island from an entirely new perspective. Soar above rugged coastlines, rolling savannahs and untouched landscapes on the way to NIHI.

To explore even further, private helicopter tours and picnics in some of the island’s most remote and beautiful locations can also be arranged on request.

Reformer Pilates has arrived at @nihi with The Pilates Project.

Move to the sound of the ocean, overlooking Nihiwatu Beach as NIHI’s horses gallop along the shore. A morning that feels almost too magical to be real.

Probably the most beautiful place in the world for Reformer Pilates.

At NIHI’s Ride & Racquet Club, it’s not uncommon to see a few familiar faces wandering past the tennis court as they make their way to the stables. Just another morning at NIHI.

Not just an ordinary hotel.

Wake to uninterrupted ocean views from your bed, where morning light dances across the water, mist rises from the hills, and Nihiwatu’s white-sand beach awaits below. Discover an island shaped by deep-rooted culture, soulful traditions and the warmth of its people.
