Ume Nanaru Beach

Chapter One begins at the heart of @nihirote, with the Rote Hospitality Academy.

Here, young Rotenese students learn the art of hospitality through both in classroom study and real experience. The Academy sits at the centre of daily life at the resort, where lessons move naturally from the classroom into moments of service shared with guests.

Each smile, each welcome, each thoughtful gesture begins as a lesson here.

At NIHI Rote, the future of hospitality is already taking shape with our wonderful students @rote_hospitality_academy

Welcome to your ultimate escape at @nihirote.
Ume Bo’a Villa is a private beachfront retreat where comfort meets the beauty of Rote. Dive into your own pool or wander a few steps onto soft white sand and the endless turquoise sea.

@nihirote sits on an island shaped by ocean and wind, and guided by tradition. Learn about the culture through our students at Rote Hospitality Academy. They’ll share with you unique stories, like the Sasando hat, a craft that reflects the island’s cultural rhythm, where weaving, music, and heritage are passed from one generation to the next.

A bird’s-eye view of NIHI Rote.
Where rolling green hills meet untouched coastline and turquoise water stretches endlessly beyond the reef.

Wild, remote, and beautifully untamed.

On Rote Island, NIHI Rote sits along a wild and untouched coastline. White sand meets turquoise water, and the surf rolls in beyond the reef.

Days unfold slowly by the sea, exploring raw coastlines and soaking in the quiet rhythm of island life before epic sunsets melt into the horizon.

A true hidden gem, NIHI Rote is made for those seeking island serenity, soulful adventure, and world class surf.

@nihirote’s two-bedroom Ume Bo’a villas are picturesque retreats, ready to welcome you and your loved ones. The beachfront villas invite you to feel the beauty of Rote as it drifts in from the ocean, while those nestled within the gardens offer lush hideaways immersed in the island’s natural tranquillity. Unwind in your private plunge pool and let time slow as you and your family settle into your own peaceful sanctuary.

Wake to the quiet rhythm of Rote, where mornings begin with the smell of ocean air, blue skies, and the sound of waves rolling in from Bo’a Beach.

At NIHI Rote, villas are set within untouched landscapes of white sand and turquoise water, where nature shapes the pace of the day.

A remote island destination for those drawn to wild beauty, slow moments, and legendary waves just beyond the shore.

Twenty-one villas on the southernmost inhabited island of Indonesia, resting along the white sands of Bo’a Beach on Rote Island. Designed for comfort and effortless barefoot access to the Bo’a Barrel wave. When you’re not in the ocean, relax by your private pool, waiting for the next set to roll in.

Hospitality begins with a warm welcome, and at @nihirote, every arrival is met with a genuine smile from our Rote Hospitality Academy students. The Academy’s classroom sits at the centre of daily operations, and students combine theoretical learning and studies with hands-on training in a dedicated Training Villa. Here, young Rotenese talents learn the art of service through real experience, where every lesson taught in the classroom becomes a thoughtful detail that guests will experience and long remember.

Venture to the edge of Indonesia, to the remote island of Rote, a hidden and untouched island where dusty roads carve through coconut groves and open plains stretch as far as the eye can see.

Here, wild horses roam across raw, striking terrain, moving with the wind through a landscape that feels almost undiscovered.

No fences. No limits. Just freedom.
