Beach Horse Ride

Add to wishlist

Take a Serene Journey
Along the Edge of Wildness.

Dawn or dusk — both hold their own magic on Nihiwatu Beach.

At first light, the island is still. The palms cast long shadows across 2.5km of white sand and the ocean breathes quietly as your horse finds the waterline.

At sunset, the sky ignites in amber and rose, the horizon catches fire, and everything slows.

No riding experience needed. Suitable for all levels, from first-timers to experienced riders.

The first light spills across the ocean, the mist slowly lifts, horses wander freely along the shoreline, and the world seems to move a little slower.This is the magic of mornings at NIHI, quiet, wild, and beautifully untouched.
No notifications. No playlists. No endless scrolling.Just birds singing, waves rolling onto the shore, and the kind of silence that reminds you what peace actually sounds like.
As the sky melts into brilliant shades of gold, amber, and fire, there’s no better place to be than on horseback along the shores of Nihiwatu Beach as the sun slips below the horizon. This is NIHI Sumba..#nihigram by @lucaspinhel
Venture beyond @nihi to one of Sumba’s most beautiful coastlines..Head out onto the open water to the best fishing spots and cast your line before continuing onwards to Konda where you’ll be welcomed by @kondamaloba..Unwind between an oceanfront pool and Sumba’s turquoise waters while your freshly caught fish is prepared over an open fire before being served for lunch..If you’re feeling like you need some more adventure, take to the water on jet ski and feel the wind in your hair as you explore the natural beauty of the bay..This is an experience shaped and refined by the wild beauty of Sumba..#nihigram by @gedewahyuu_
No trending music. This is what magic really sounds like: waves rolling onto the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, horses cooling off in the salty waters, and the wild spirit of NIHI Sumba..#nihigram by @evelien_louise
Front-row seats to one of NIHI’s most iconic morning rituals..Grab breakfast with a friend as horses wander freely along the shoreline, with the Indian Ocean stretching beyond. 🤍
Hidden within the raw terrain of the island are little known gems waiting to be discovered. Embark on an adventure with @nihi by exploring the natural environment of Sumba. You’ll set off in an open aired vehicle and drive through the landscapes with a sense of excitement at what you may encounter. A trek to the Blue Waterfall is one such adventure that you’ll long remember for years to come and live with the memory of being left in awe at the wonder of nature.
No trending audio. Just NIHI, exactly as it sounds.Some places don’t need a soundtrack to be unforgettable. Here, it’s the waves, the horses running along the beach, and the quiet moments in between that tell the story. 🤍
As the sun slips below the horizon, summer nights at NIHI take on a magic of their own. Romance in the air, stars overhead, and the feeling of being forever wild. .#nihigram by @lucaspinhel @laylafoz
