Journey into the remote highlands of Lamboya.

Visit some of Sumba’s most authentic and isolated villages that remain quietly rooted in tradition.

Your adventure to Lamboya begins with a scenic drive into the rural highlands. At the beautiful hilltop village of Pakat, you’ll travel on foot on a trail that opens out to sweeping views of thecoastline and navigates you through farmland and the island’s rugged landscapes.

The three-mile trek winds through villages and countryside, offering a glimpse into daily life in Lamboya and the enduring connection between the land and its people. After the hike, a short drive brings you to Sumba’s “Rice Island,” an elevated jungle islet surrounded by lush rice fields, where you’ll have a scenic picnic.

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.

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.

Woven into the experience of staying at @nihi, the ancient traditions of the island remain deeply present.

In the fading light on Nihiwatu Beach, the silhouettes of Sumbanese warriors stand against the sunset glow, looking out across the land where generations have carried the spirit of Sumba.

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.
