NIHI® Wildlings

Add to wishlist

Adventure, Creativity, and Friendship for Young Guests.

Childhood should be wild, wondrous, and magical, just like the island itself.

That’s the spirit behind the NIHI Wildlings Kids Club, a full-day immersive program for children aged 4 to 12, designed to spark imagination, nurture curiosity, and let kids simply be Wildings.

Every day is thoughtfully led by experienced guides and educators who blend safety, spontaneity, and storytelling through a range of fun activities. While the Wildlings are discovering new passions and building friendships, parents are free to indulge in their own moments of peace.

The NIHI Wildlings Kids Club runs daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, starting at Chris & Charly’s Chocolate Factory.

Pre-arranged early breakfast supervision is available for parents heading out on morning adventures. If guests wish to drop children off earlier, a 24-hour pre-booking is required. Children under 4 years old are welcome to join when accompanied by a parent or dedicated nanny.

Wildlings Schedule

Discover the magic of Sumba’s coastline through a day of beach adventures and marine discovery. Children will enjoy beachcombing, sandcastle building, and a visit to the Boathouse, where NIHI’s Boathouse team will introduce them to the fascinating world of marine life, tides, and ocean conservation. The adventure continues at the stables, where they’ll learn how to care for NIHI’s friendly ponies before finishing the day with a fun turtle-themed workshop inspired by the island’s incredible sea life.

Where nature meets creativity. Young explorers will search for fascinating insects, learn about local wildlife, and craft nature-inspired art before becoming Wildling Chefs in a hands-on pizza-making class, baking their own delicious pizzas from fresh ingredients. The afternoon continues with NIHI’s signature chocolate-making experience, followed by bracelet making.

Wildlings immerse themselves in the rich traditions of Sumba through storytelling, traditional clothing, cultural activities, and dance. They will learn about local customs, take part in a lively cultural parade, and finish the day creating tropical coconut smoothies and colourful artwork. As the day comes to a close, Wildlings are invited to dress in traditional Sumbanese attire and join the Sumba Foundation Dinner, celebrating the island’s vibrant culture alongside fellow guests.

A hands-on day full of creativity and discovery. Wildlings will sculpt with natural clay while learning traditional Sumbanese stories before joining our chefs for an interactive Indonesian cooking class. Using fresh local ingredients, they’ll create a traditional Indonesian favourite while discovering the rich flavours and culinary traditions of Sumba. The day concludes with mud play at the Boathouse, where imagination and outdoor adventure come together.

Celebrate Sumba’s iconic equestrian heritage as Wildlings meet NIHI’s Sandalwood ponies, learn how to care for them, and express their creativity in the art studio. The adventure continues with a guided jungle walk, wildlife spotting, and a visit to the Food Forest, where children will discover edible plants, learn about nature conservation, and experience the incredible biodiversity of Sumba.

Get ready for a day of mystery and excitement. Children will follow clues around the Chocolate Factory on an exciting treasure hunt before heading to the Boathouse to become Wildling Mixologists, creating and enjoying their own refreshing homemade lemonade. The afternoon continues with NIHI’s signature chocolate-making experience and creative bracelet making, leaving the little ones with sweet memories to take home.

A day filled with creativity, movement, and fun. Children begin the day with a fun kids’ yoga session before heading to the stables for one of NIHI’s most unique experiences, painting the resort’s friendly ponies. The day ends with cupcake decorating and traditional palm leaf crafts, encouraging creativity while celebrating Sumba’s natural beauty.

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.

A new chapter begins on the shores of Nihiwatu as @nihi’s new Riding & Racquet Club meets the Edge of Wildness.

A private members’ club aesthetic, translated onto the sand, with an international tennis court and a terrace overlooking the ocean for sunset drinks. This is where the romance of great polo clubs meets the raw, elemental beauty of Sumba.

The Riding & Racquet Club is unlike anywhere else. A concept that could only exist at NIHI.

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. 🤍

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.
