Dawn breaks softly on Sumba’s wild coast. Light dances across your villa, painting gentle patterns on the walls as the sea murmurs in the distance. There is an ease to mornings here, when you rise together, the day wide open, each breath filled with the promise of discovery.
Step outside, and the island opens to you: lush hills rolling toward the horizon, salt air drifting through gardens alive with birdsong. In these first moments, everything slows down. There’s space to notice the warmth of your partner’s hand, to listen to the ocean’s timeless lullaby, to simply be.
Within NIHI’s villas, you find the perfect setting for connection. Here, each moment feels personal and unhurried. This is Sumba’s true gift: a sense of togetherness that begins within your villa and remains long after you leave.
NIHI’s villas are sanctuaries for couples, thoughtfully designed to nurture intimacy and relaxation. Each retreat offers sweeping views, open-air spaces, and settings crafted for romantic moments together. Details such as soft linens, spacious living areas, and outdoor showers create an atmosphere where couples can savor every moment, from the first light of dawn to the quiet of night.
Every honeymoon stay includes three gourmet meals daily, crafted with care and inspired by the island’s bounty. Non-alcoholic beverages are always available, while the in-villa minibar is restocked each day, keeping favorite treats at hand. A daily laundry service means you travel lighter and linger longer. As the sun sets, Happiest Hour arrives with free-flow house wine and local beer, best enjoyed from your own veranda as the sky changes color.
For a truly intimate moment, indulge in NIHI’s signature romance bath, a candlelit ritual for two. Sink into warm water scattered with red and pink blossoms and sensual oils, while you share a tray of NIHI chocolates and your choice of crisp champagne or fresh tropical juice.
Wellness is woven into your stay, with scheduled yoga and meditation classes open to all guests. Couples can also venture beyond their villa to enjoy a romantic beach horse ride at sunrise or sunset, snorkeling, or surfing when the weather allows. For those who want to connect more deeply with Sumba’s spirit, a complimentary tour of The Sumba Foundation’s impact projects offers a window into the island’s heart.
Within this haven, three unique villa hideaways perfect for honeymooners await, each offering its own setting for renewal and connection:
Perched high above the ocean, Marangga is a study in privacy and panorama. Every window and doorway frames dramatic views of blue water and sky. A private path leads down to a secluded stretch of sand, perfect for shared swims and long, leisurely afternoons.
The villa’s indoor-outdoor design brings the island into every corner. A spacious bale welcomes lounging in the breeze, while the cliffside tub hints at candlelit soaks with nothing but horizon ahead. Marangga is made for couples who want slow mornings, cinematic sunsets, and the feeling of being alone at the edge of the world.
Tucked away among green hills, Villa Rahasia lives up to its name: “the secret.” This intimate one-bedroom retreat promises complete seclusion, surrounded by tropical gardens and the hush of nature. From your sun deck and private pool, the world slips away. The villa’s quiet elegance and stillness create a sense of being suspended in time.
Rahasia is perfect for honeymooners who want to feel completely hidden and experience days flowing without interruption.
Set above a hidden cove, Marangga Occy’s offers a seamless connection to the ocean. This villa features a thatched roof and uninterrupted sea views from a canopied king bed. With your own private garden flowing toward the sand, you’re invited to take barefoot walks at sunrise or simply relax near the water.
Unique touches like a deep stone bathtub, outdoor shower, and shaded teak cabana create spaces for rest and renewal throughout the day. When evening comes, you can stroll to the vibrant Ombak Restaurant for a lively, oceanfront dinner, or savor a private meal in your villa, surrounded by the sound of waves and the scent of frangipani. Both promise moments to remember, each in their own way.
Some journeys are so meaningful, they ask to be relived. The NIHI Forever package was created for couples who dream of returning, year after year, to the place where their story began.
When you book a seven-night or longer honeymoon in 2025 (in the Marangga category or higher, at the published rate, starting on the 7th of the month), NIHI gifts you a complimentary return stay in 2032. It’s an invitation to make this island part of your love’s tradition, a ritual that deepens with every visit, marking milestones and memories as the years unfold.
NIHI Forever is for couples who want their honeymoon to be more than a trip. It is a promise made in a place that grows with you.
Beyond Sumba, a new horizon is taking shape. Opening in 2026, NIHI Rote will offer twenty-one exclusive villas set on a wild, untouched coast. Here, laid-back days blend world-class surf with deep wellness, inviting couples to slow down and reconnect in ways that feel both effortless and extraordinary.
NIHI Rote is designed for those who want more than a honeymoon. It is built for the adventurous, for those drawn to the energy of the ocean and quiet intimate hideaways. Every villa offers a new world waiting to be explored.
No two love stories are the same. At NIHI, every honeymoon reflects the unique wishes and dreams of each couple. Some guests seek early mornings that begin with the sound of waves and sunlight streaming into a private villa. Others imagine evenings filled with intimate dinners under the stars or days spent exploring the wild beauty of the island together.
The NIHI team is dedicated to bringing your ideal celebration to life, with careful attention to the details that matter most to you. Explore private honeymoon villas at NIHI and picture a stay that feels deeply personal, meaningful, and entirely your own.
