Nihigram
As the tide recedes along Nihiwatu Beach, local people, young and old, come together to venture onto the exposed reef, gathering sea grapes and seafood from the rock pools.
Timed by the rhythm of the ocean and shaped by generations of knowledge, it’s a simple yet enduring part of life in Sumba.
At @NIHI, these authentic moments offer a glimpse into the island’s way of life.

The first glimpse of NIHI is one you’ll never forget. As the road opens and the coastline unfolds below, it’s hard to imagine anything could live up to the view.
Then you settle in, and somehow, it does. From wild horses and world-class waves to quiet mornings, endless ocean views and moments you’ll carry home with you, NIHI is one of those rare places that exceeds every expectation.

Listen to the natural sound of hooves pounding the sand along Nihiwatu Beach as our Sumba horses runs 2.5 km stretch of shoreline. Palm tree shadows stretch across the beach, and the herd runs exactly as nature intended, free, wild and at one with nature. 🤍

Morning begins with palm tree shadows stretching across the sand. Day-old turtles make their first journey to the ocean while the surf rolls in. As the sun sets, locals wash their horses in the sea, and life moves to the rhythm it always has.
These are the moments that make NIHI more than a destination, they’re the memories you’ll carry long after you’ve left. 🤍

Mornings begin with horses running freely along the shoreline, mist drifting over the hills, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean in the distance.
A refreshing swim, breakfast by the sea, and nowhere else to be but here.
It’s the kind of place that reminds you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and soak up the beauty around you.

Perched above the Indian Ocean, Raja Mandaka is the owner’s private villa and the crown jewel of NIHI. Designed for complete privacy, it overlooks Nihiwatu Beach, where horses gallop free on the white sand and sunsets melt into the horizon.
From sunrise swims to evenings spent listening to the waves below, every moment here feels worlds away.

@nihi’s padel game just went up a level as professional padel player @denise.hoefer.3005 takes to the court. Surrounded by lush tropical beauty, and with our herd of horses as her audience, Denise shows us how to have fun on the Edge of Wildness.

Wake to horses wandering the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, spend your afternoons by your own private pool in your villa retreat, rally beneath the golden glow at the Ride & Racquet Club, and watch the sun catch the magic of @nihi as it melt into the horizon.

An evening rally at @nihi’s brand new Ride & Racquet Club, where tennis meets equestrian life. Passing horses become your audience as you play surrounded by Sumba’s wild beauty while listening to the sound of the ocean nearby in between serves.
