NIHI Rote & Hospitality Academy opened its doors on Rote Island in 2026, carrying forward the same wild spirit that made its sister property, NIHI Rote was named to Robb Report’s 50 Greatest Luxury Hotels on Earth for 2026 – a rare distinction for a resort still in its opening season. The recognition arrived alongside a wave of acclaim from AFAR, Time Out, Matador Network, PaperCity Magazine, and Country & Town House, who each named NIHI Rote among the world’s most anticipated new hotel openings of the year.

Offline, disconnected and exactly where you’re meant to be.
A private villa, all to yourself, a good book and nothing but the sounds of the nature to listen to.

When the hotel is the destination 🌴
At NIHI, days unfold between the ocean, long lunches and plenty of time to simply enjoy where you are.

A bird’s-eye view of paradise.
White sands, endless ocean and NIHI Rote tucked quietly into one of Indonesia’s most beautiful corners. From up here, it’s easy to see why we fell in love with this island.

Rote is one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets.
Untouched beaches, rich culture and a beauty that still feels wonderfully undiscovered.

This is NIHI Rote.
White sand, crystal-clear water and an island that still feels beautifully untouched. An island still beautifully untouched, where days are made for adventure and there’s always somewhere new to discover.

An island unlike anywhere else.
Wild, untouched and abundantly beautiful, Rote is a place made for discovery. And we’ve only just scratched the surface. Come see for yourself.
