NIHI Sumba bookings are typically made one year to six months in advance and most international flights inbound to Indonesia are fully booked two to three months prior to planned arrival dates. Therefore we have little chance to re-sell cancelled accommodation and must treat cancelled bookings as unrecoverable.
Cancellations must be received by NIHI Sumba in writing either by email or fax.
It is a condition of everyone using the rates and services offered by NIHI Sumba, and its owning company PT Indonesia Adventure Sports, that all clients (including individuals, companies and other legal entities) have adequate insurance cover against all risks associated with overseas travel and appropriate medical and other insurance prior to departure from their country of origin.
A visit to Indonesia, and particularly a remote destination such as Sumba, entails an element of risk and neither NIHI Sumba, its owning company PT Indonesia Adventure Sports, nor their officers and employees shall be liable in any way for any loss or damages, expenses or costs arising from any incident involving clients (individuals, companies and other legal entities) that may occur whilst using any of the services provided by the NIHI Sumba Island or third parties contracted.
It is the responsibility of every client (including individuals, companies and other legal entities) to assess their own insurance requirements and to organise appropriate insurance.
In the event that any client fails (individual, company or other legal entity) to comply with these insurance conditions and requirements or to organise appropriate insurance then neither NIHI Sumba, PT Indonesia Adventure Sports, nor their officers or employees, nor any third party contracted by these companies, shall be liable in any way for any loss injury, or damages, expenses or costs arising from any incident while travelling to or at NIHI Sumba.
We appreciate that some of our guests would like to use drones in order to capture special images, memories, and/or footage of their time at NIHI® Sumba but we also need to guarantee that all of our guests are afforded the highest levels of safety and privacy during their stay with us.
We do permit our guests to bring a personal drone to the island for photography or videography purposes but please note that it must be declared to the NIHI® Sumba team on arrival, who will then advise on safety and security, including details around approved fly zones and flying times.

Surfing at NIHI Sumba
At the very heart of the NIHI® Sumba experience is a Perfect Left. The magic of this perfect wave has and always will be the wild and unfiltered freedom surfers who visit our resort are able to feel while experiencing this extraordinary part of the Indian Ocean. We want to provide our guests with a truly unforgettable, transformative, and crowd-free surfing experience so to do this, we limit the number of surfers to 15 at any given time. While there may be the occasional exception to this rule (see the fine print below), we are committed to the fun, freedom, and safety that having some boundaries in place allows. Our jet-ski service fee is part of a safe and sound surf experience at NIHI® Sumba. This is charged at IDR 2,500,000++ per day, covering jet-ski services from the shoreline to Occy’s Left, which is approximately 800 ft (245 mts) away from the NIHI boathouse.
- The above jet-ski service and admin fee is subject to 11% government tax and 10% service charge and is non-commissionable.
- A maximum of 1 surf slot per room per day applies. We will need to know how many guests will be surfing at the time of paying the resort booking deposit.
- There may be times, due to an extended booking, that an additional surfer is booked for a few days but generally we are very much committed to our 15 surfer quota.
- For groups who book the whole resort, there is no limit to number of surfers.
- Please note that only registered surfers will be allowed to surf.
- On registration, you will receive a confirmation from the Boathouse prior to your arrival, confirming your surf slot.
- If the Boathouse Manager deems it unsafe to surf at all, we will not allow any surfing to take place this day. The final authority lies with the Boathouse Manager, or in his absence, the Surf Coach.
- Surf lessons and surf safaris (off-site surfing spots) are charged at an additional charge, to cover our team’s time and transportation to those locations.
- Based on airline regulations, passengers are limited to one (1) board per person with a maximum length of 7 feet. For surfboards that exceed this limit, please email us for special arrangements. Please note that airlines apply additional charges according to the carriers’ policy.
- Surfboards longer than 2.30m (7ft) will have to be sent separately and overland at extra charge due to limited cargo space on all flights serving Sumba.
Nihigram
Feel the quiet magic of @nihi’s herd on Nihiwatu Beach. Moving to an unhurried rhythm, they wade through the water and leave footprints in the sand before letting their spirits loose in a gallop along the shoreline. A beautiful reminder of what true freedom looks like.

Raw beauty, untamed adventure, and moments that stay with you forever. Welcome to @nihi. A place that stays with you long after you’ve left. Experience the magic in the spaces between nature and luxury. A retreat from the modern world out on the Edge of Wildness.
Wake up to the wonder of untamed nature as first light filters through the palms and the mist rises.
@nihi is where breakfast is served slowly and enjoyed with the sight of horses to admire and the background sound of waves rolling in. Spend your days with quiet swims by the ocean or in the comfort of your own private haven. The Edge of Wildness awaits to be discovered.
Experience Sumba’s ancient ways on Nihiwatu’s shoreline right in front of @nihi. On Mini Pasola nights by NIHI Sumba, you get an introduction to Sumba’s rich culture. Young riders from the nearby traditional villages pit their skills against one another by racing along the pristine white sand. A friendly and competitive race that guests can watch and cheer for. Proceeds go to the @sumbafoundation to help fund equipment the kids from the nearby villages may need for schooling.
As light hits the rolling waves, magic stirs to life. At @nihi, the wonder of untamed nature is all around you waiting for you to discover its charm. Welcome to the Edge of Wildness.
Dive straight into sunset as the sky melts into the horizon. Perched above the ocean and tucked among the trees, Mamole Tree House is a place to slow down, let go, and take in the wild beauty.
No AI. No filters. No added sound. Just pure, raw, beautiful moments, straight off the phone.

This is how your day starts at NIHI.
