Wake to horses wandering the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, spend your afternoons by your own private pool in your villa retreat, rally beneath the golden glow at the Ride & Racquet Club, and watch the sun catch the magic of @nihi as it melt into the horizon.

An evening rally at @nihi’s brand new Ride & Racquet Club, where tennis meets equestrian life. Passing horses become your audience as you play surrounded by Sumba’s wild beauty while listening to the sound of the ocean nearby in between serves.

Some mornings, the horses leave more than footprints. They leave silhouettes that stretch across the sand, fleeting works of art shaped by the morning light. Another unforgettable day at the Edge of Wildness.

Your day at NIHI begins with a little bit of magic. A refreshing morning swim, the sound of waves rolling in, and the sight of NIHI’s horses galloping freely along the shoreline below.

On some mornings, a local farmer’s herd of water buffalo wanders across Nihiwatu Beach, while newly hatched sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. These are the moments that make life on the Edge of Wildness so extraordinary, where nature quietly sets the rhythm of the day and no two mornings are ever quite the same.

The sheer magic of @nihi. Watch as a herd of horses wanders past the main pool and into the ocean, creating one of those beautiful NIHI Sumba moments you can completely lose yourself in. Be immersed in days like no other, and spellbound as the evening sun begins to descend.

A glimpse of a typical day at @nihi.

Imagine starting the morning with breakfast and a horizon view, before watching the horses meander down the white sands of Nihiwatu Beach.

A slow morning that sets the tone for an afternoon spent relaxing in your own private villa, before the sun begins to set and casts its evening magic across the island of Sumba.

At NIHI, horses roam freely along untouched shores, wellness is found in the serenity of the spa, and romance flourishes amidst the island’s untamed beauty. Here, ancient traditions, extraordinary landscapes, and meaningful connections create experiences that linger long after you leave.

From the Edge of Wildness to moments of complete tranquility, every corner of NIHI celebrates the unmatched beauty, rich culture, and timeless spirit of Sumba.

A truly unique wellness experience awaits at NIHI’s Equine Sanctuary.

Beneath swaying palms and beside the sound of the ocean, retired sea horses become gentle partners in relaxation and healing. This deeply calming equine massage invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and experience the quiet presence of these remarkable horses.

Part of NIHI Spa’s Equine Wellness offering, alongside equine reiki and yoga, this experience can be included as part of your half or full day at NIHI Spa.
