Pickleball

Add to wishlist

A Game for All Ages
in the Food Forest.

Pickleball is a fun, sociable, and highly addictive racket sport enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities.

Our court is located within the Food Forest, surrounded by lush nature for a peaceful and immersive playing experience. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net, making it accessible and easy to learn while remaining fast-paced and engaging.

Players use specialised paddles and lightweight plastic balls with perforations to enhance airflow and control, creating a game that encourages dynamic rallies and friendly competition.

Woven into the experience of staying at @nihi, the ancient traditions of the island remain deeply present.

In the fading light on Nihiwatu Beach, the silhouettes of Sumbanese warriors stand against the sunset glow, looking out across the land where generations have carried the spirit of Sumba.

Embark from @nihi on a day cast away on Sumba’s untouched shores.

Set out by boat in the early morning to go fishing in the open waters where you’ll catch your own lunch before heading to the white sands of Konda Beach. Swim, snorkel, or paddle board in the peaceful turquoise waters before your catch is served at your own a private barefoot barbecue. The Robinson Crusoe Experience is a memorable day for those seeking an authentic island adventure.

Serene moments in tranquil surroundings. Here, the world beyond Sumba fades away.

This is a place where the wildness of Sumba calms the mind, restores the soul, and invites you to slow down. Welcome to @nihi, your home at the Edge of Wildness.

Feel the quiet magic of @nihi’s herd on Nihiwatu Beach. Moving to an unhurried rhythm, they wade through the water and leave footprints in the sand before letting their spirits loose in a gallop along the shoreline. A beautiful reminder of what true freedom looks like.
