Pickleball

Add to wishlist

A Game for All Ages
in the Food Forest.

Pickleball is a fun, sociable, and highly addictive racket sport enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities.

Our court is located within the Food Forest, surrounded by lush nature for a peaceful and immersive playing experience. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net, making it accessible and easy to learn while remaining fast-paced and engaging.

Players use specialised paddles and lightweight plastic balls with perforations to enhance airflow and control, creating a game that encourages dynamic rallies and friendly competition.

A glimpse of a typical day at @nihi.

Imagine starting the morning with breakfast and a horizon view, before watching the horses meander down the white sands of Nihiwatu Beach.

A slow morning that sets the tone for an afternoon spent relaxing in your own private villa, before the sun begins to set and casts its evening magic across the island of Sumba.

Raw, simple moments.

Two horses lingering at the water’s edge, their wet hooves sinking into the sand as waves roll in and out around them. No saddles, no riders, no destination. Just the quiet rhythm of the ocean and the freedom to simply be.

These are the moments that stay with you long after Sumba.

When the early morning mist still sits over Nihiwatu Beach and you wake up to breakfast overlooking wild horses living free along the shore. There’s nowhere else on earth quite like this. @nihi is less a destination and more a dream you never want to leave.

As the sun rises, Sumba and a daily life that harks back to a bygone era awakens. The island of Sumba is one that is raw in its beauty and rich with culture. @nihi takes you beyond the resort and into the culture of Sumba where you can feel the true soul of the island.
