Padel

Add to wishlist

Fast, Social, and Addictive.

Experience the fastest-growing racket sport in the world on the first and only Padel court in Sumba.

Padel is a fun, sociable, and highly addictive game suitable for players of all ages and abilities. Combining elements of tennis and squash, the rules allow players to incorporate the walls into gameplay, creating longer rallies and a dynamic style of play that is easy to learn yet endlessly engaging. Matches can be enjoyed as singles or doubles, making it a perfect activity for friends, families, or competitive players.

Our court is open day and night, surrounded by lush tropical greenery for an immersive sporting experience.

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.

@nihi’s padel game just went up a level as professional padel player @denise.hoefer.3005 takes to the court. Surrounded by lush tropical beauty, and with our herd of horses as her audience, Denise shows us how to have fun on the Edge of Wildness.

Wake to horses wandering the shores of Nihiwatu Beach, spend your afternoons by your own private pool in your villa retreat, rally beneath the golden glow at the Ride & Racquet Club, and watch the sun catch the magic of @nihi as it melt into the horizon.

Some mornings, the horses leave more than footprints. They leave silhouettes that stretch across the sand, fleeting works of art shaped by the morning light. Another unforgettable day at the Edge of Wildness.

Your day at NIHI begins with a little bit of magic. A refreshing morning swim, the sound of waves rolling in, and the sight of NIHI’s horses galloping freely along the shoreline below.

On some mornings, a local farmer’s herd of water buffalo wanders across Nihiwatu Beach, while newly hatched sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. These are the moments that make life on the Edge of Wildness so extraordinary, where nature quietly sets the rhythm of the day and no two mornings are ever quite the same.

The sheer magic of @nihi. Watch as a herd of horses wanders past the main pool and into the ocean, creating one of those beautiful NIHI Sumba moments you can completely lose yourself in. Be immersed in days like no other, and spellbound as the evening sun begins to descend.
