Discover the Spirit of Sumba
Sumba is an island where nature remains wild, traditions run deep, and discovery feels effortless. Whether on land or sea, every experience is an invitation to explore.
Swim in the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Bay and surf the world renowned wave, Occy’s Left, in front of the resort. Watch our horses run along Nihiwatu Beach’s 2.5km stretch. Visit ancient hilltop villages in Lamboya, where generations have preserved their way of life. Follow jungle paths to hidden waterfalls, or walk through the emerald rice fields of Wanukaka that continue to shape the island’s landscape.
At NIHI Sumba, each activity is thoughtfully curated to go beyond recreation. Our experiences are designed to connect you with the island’s culture, its people, and its extraordinary natural surroundings.

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.

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.

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.
As the tide recedes along Nihiwatu Beach, local people, young and old, come together to venture onto the exposed reef, gathering sea grapes and seafood from the rock pools.
Timed by the rhythm of the ocean and shaped by generations of knowledge, it’s a simple yet enduring part of life in Sumba.
At @NIHI, these authentic moments offer a glimpse into the island’s way of life.

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. 🤍

Morning begins with palm tree shadows stretching across the sand. Day-old turtles make their first journey to the ocean while the surf rolls in. As the sun sets, locals wash their horses in the sea, and life moves to the rhythm it always has.
These are the moments that make NIHI more than a destination, they’re the memories you’ll carry long after you’ve left. 🤍
