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 at Nio Beach Club, where the first dip of the day comes with sweeping views of Nihiwatu Beach.

With the sound of the waves, the warmth of the Sumba sunshine and the beach just footsteps away, there’s no better place to begin your day at NIHI Sumba.

Raw, wild and beautifully untouched. Sunrise at NIHI Sumba, where local fishermen head out to sea as the first light of day breaks over the coastline.

As the sun sets, horses make their way along the beach, ridden by Sumbanese horsemen dressed in traditional ikat, a beautiful reflection of the island’s rich cultural heritage.

These are the scenes that make Sumba so extraordinary, where centuries of tradition remain part of everyday life and the connection between the people, their horses and the land runs deep. 🤍

Netflix is great, but imagine playing a tennis match at NIHI Sumba.

Horses wandering nearby, the ocean breeze drifting across the court and the sound of waves crashing onto the shore.

Welcome to the Ride & Racquet Club, where even a game of tennis feels extraordinary.

AI could never replace this.

Quite literally one of the most beautiful sights on earth. A herd of horses running free, as nature intended, along the shores of Nihiwatu Beach.

The thunder of hooves against the sand, manes flying in the wind and the sheer beauty of watching them gallop together against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.

Some moments are simply too beautiful to recreate. 🤎

From Nihiwatu Beach, set out on horseback beyond NIHI and into the Sumbanese landscape, riding through palm-shaded jungle, rice fields and local villages.

Along the way, you may find yourself caught in a very Sumbanese kind of traffic jam as a local farmer guides his water buffalo towards the beach.

It is these unscripted encounters that make riding at NIHI Sumba so special, a journey shaped by the landscape, the people and the everyday rhythm of island life.

NIHI is a place that feels almost like a dream, surrounded by the raw beauty of the island, untouched nature, wild beaches and a culture that remains deeply rooted in tradition.

Days are spent watching horses along the shoreline, taking in dramatic landscapes and looking out across the Indian Ocean from the privacy of your own villa.

The kind of place that belongs on a bucket list. A journey worth travelling across the world for, and a dream you never quite want to wake up from.
