NIHI Rote Guide

Say yes to heaven at NIHI Rote.

Horses wander past as you take your morning swim, with endless views of the Indian Ocean stretching out before you.

Welcome to NIHI Rote.

A place of epic surf, white sand beaches and villas overlooking the ocean.

Beyond the coastline, discover the spirit of Rote through its people, traditions and everyday life. Taste the flavours of the island, listen to its music, experience traditional dance and spend time getting to know the culture that makes this place so special.

Come for the waves and the beauty. Leave with a deeper connection to Rote.

Enjoy a spa treatment in the privacy of your own villa, with the ocean in view and the beach just steps away.

A moment to slow down, switch off and settle into the rhythm of NIHI Rote.

Meet Gilberd, a local Rotanese and graduate of the NIHI Rote Hospitality Academy.

When he first joined the academy, Gilberd didn’t speak English. Through his studies, he learned the language and developed the skills and knowledge to build a future in hospitality.

Today, he works as a bartender at NIHI Rote. His journey from student to graduate, and now to a member of the team, is a testament to how much can change with learning, dedication and opportunity.

We’re proud to celebrate how far Gilberd has come and all that lies ahead.

NIHI Rote is more than a beautiful escape. It is an invitation to experience the rich culture of Rote, the genuine warmth of its people and the extraordinary nature that surrounds the island.

Discover vibrant marine life beneath crystal-clear waters, untouched white-sand beaches and epic surf.

Wild, welcoming and wonderfully remote, this is Rote.

We’re delighted to announce our collaboration with @tropicsurf, making NIHI Rote one of only a select few destinations in Indonesia to offer their expert instruction and guided surf experiences.

Whether refining your technique or discovering the island’s best breaks, explore Rote’s exceptional waves alongside a dedicated @tropicsurf instructor.
