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.

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.

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.

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. 🤍
