Experience the place where Sumba’s raw beauty meets soulful renewal. Welcome to Nihioka, home of NIHI Spa.

The journey is part of the magic. Ride on horseback along the coast, travel by jeep through rolling hills, or trek at sunrise past rice fields and villages before arriving at this secluded sanctuary by the sea.

Beneath swaying palms and to the rhythm of the Indian Ocean, discover treatments designed to restore balance to body and spirit. Among Nihioka’s most unique offerings is its Equine Wellness experience, where retired horses guide guests through moments of connection, calm, and healing.

From equine reiki and yoga to the signature horse massage, guests are invited to experience the gentle presence of these remarkable animals in a way found nowhere else. Whether enjoying a Spa Safari, spending a day immersed in wellness, or simply lying in stillness among the horses, every moment is designed to reconnect you with nature and yourself.

Be wild. Be free. Be well.

Perched above the wild beauty of Nihiwatu, @nihi’s Putri Hillrise Villa looks out across endless ocean views, rolling coastline, and glowing sunsets. This two-bedroom sanctuary was designed for slowing down, switching off, and disappearing into nature. Drift between quiet mornings by the pool and evenings where the sky melts into the sea.

When the day begins with breakfast overlooking the ocean as wild horses wander along Nihiwatu Beach, all while you sip your morning coffee. You can feel the world slow down. There’s no rush here, only time to listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves, to watch the horses wade into the water, and to wander barefoot down the path until you’re standing among the herd. It’s moments like this when you know you’re not somewhere ordinary. You’re at @nihi.

Embark from @nihi on a day cast away on Sumba’s untouched shores.

Set out by boat in the early morning to go fishing in the open waters where you’ll catch your own lunch before heading to the white sands of Konda Beach. Swim, snorkel, or paddle board in the peaceful turquoise waters before your catch is served at your own a private barefoot barbecue. The Robinson Crusoe Experience is a memorable day for those seeking an authentic island adventure.
