Fast, Social, and Addictive.

Experience the fastest-growing racket sport in the world on the first and only Padel court in Sumba.

Padel is a fun, sociable, and highly addictive game suitable for players of all ages and abilities. Combining elements of tennis and squash, the rules allow players to incorporate the walls into gameplay, creating longer rallies and a dynamic style of play that is easy to learn yet endlessly engaging. Matches can be enjoyed as singles or doubles, making it a perfect activity for friends, families, or competitive players.

Our court is open day and night, surrounded by lush tropical greenery for an immersive sporting experience.

No trending music. This is what magic really sounds like: waves rolling onto the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, horses cooling off in the salty waters, and the wild spirit of NIHI Sumba..#nihigram by @evelien_louise
Front-row seats to one of NIHI’s most iconic morning rituals..Grab breakfast with a friend as horses wander freely along the shoreline, with the Indian Ocean stretching beyond. 🤍
Hidden within the raw terrain of the island are little known gems waiting to be discovered. Embark on an adventure with @nihi by exploring the natural environment of Sumba. You’ll set off in an open aired vehicle and drive through the landscapes with a sense of excitement at what you may encounter. A trek to the Blue Waterfall is one such adventure that you’ll long remember for years to come and live with the memory of being left in awe at the wonder of nature.
No trending audio. Just NIHI, exactly as it sounds.Some places don’t need a soundtrack to be unforgettable. Here, it’s the waves, the horses running along the beach, and the quiet moments in between that tell the story. 🤍
As the sun slips below the horizon, summer nights at NIHI take on a magic of their own. Romance in the air, stars overhead, and the feeling of being forever wild. .#nihigram by @lucaspinhel @laylafoz
A new chapter begins on the shores of Nihiwatu as @nihi’s new Riding & Racquet Club meets the Edge of Wildness.A private members’ club aesthetic, translated onto the sand, with an international tennis court and a terrace overlooking the ocean for sunset drinks. This is where the romance of great polo clubs meets the raw, elemental beauty of Sumba.The Riding & Racquet Club is unlike anywhere else. A concept that could only exist at NIHI.
The first glimpse of NIHI is one you’ll never forget. As the road opens and the coastline unfolds below, it’s hard to imagine anything could live up to the view.Then you settle in, and somehow, it does. From wild horses and world-class waves to quiet mornings, endless ocean views and moments you’ll carry home with you, NIHI is one of those rare places that exceeds every expectation.
Listen to the natural sound of hooves pounding the sand along Nihiwatu Beach as our Sumba horses runs 2.5 km stretch of shoreline. Palm tree shadows stretch across the beach, and the herd runs exactly as nature intended, free, wild and at one with nature. 🤍.#nihigram by @gedewahyuu_
