Explore the Island’s Hidden Breaks.

For those drawn to the thrill of discovery, our Surfari experience invites you to explore the breaks beyond NIHI Sumba.

Several surf spots lie within 30–60 minutes of the resort and can be accessed by car or boat. While Nihiwatu Beach is famed for hosting one of the island’s most celebrated waves, Occy’s Left, we understand the allure of hunting new swells and empty line-ups along Sumba’s wild coastline.

Wherever the swell leads, our experienced team will guide you to the break best suited to your ability, ensuring a day of exploration, progression, and unforgettable waves.

When the swell in front of NIHI Sumba grows larger and more challenging, Rua offers a more approachable alternative. Set within a sheltered bay, this mellow break features both right and left-hand waves, making it ideal for intermediate or progressing surfers looking to find their rhythm.

Experience the place where Sumba’s raw beauty meets soulful renewal. Welcome to Nihioka, home of NIHI Spa.

The journey is part of the magic. Ride on horseback along the coast, travel by jeep through rolling hills, or trek at sunrise past rice fields and villages before arriving at this secluded sanctuary by the sea.

Beneath swaying palms and to the rhythm of the Indian Ocean, discover treatments designed to restore balance to body and spirit. Among Nihioka’s most unique offerings is its Equine Wellness experience, where retired horses guide guests through moments of connection, calm, and healing.

From equine reiki and yoga to the signature horse massage, guests are invited to experience the gentle presence of these remarkable animals in a way found nowhere else. Whether enjoying a Spa Safari, spending a day immersed in wellness, or simply lying in stillness among the horses, every moment is designed to reconnect you with nature and yourself.

Be wild. Be free. Be well.

Perched above the wild beauty of Nihiwatu, @nihi’s Putri Hillrise Villa looks out across endless ocean views, rolling coastline, and glowing sunsets. This two-bedroom sanctuary was designed for slowing down, switching off, and disappearing into nature. Drift between quiet mornings by the pool and evenings where the sky melts into the sea.

When the day begins with breakfast overlooking the ocean as wild horses wander along Nihiwatu Beach, all while you sip your morning coffee. You can feel the world slow down. There’s no rush here, only time to listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves, to watch the horses wade into the water, and to wander barefoot down the path until you’re standing among the herd. It’s moments like this when you know you’re not somewhere ordinary. You’re at @nihi.

Woven into the experience of staying at @nihi, the ancient traditions of the island remain deeply present.

In the fading light on Nihiwatu Beach, the silhouettes of Sumbanese warriors stand against the sunset glow, looking out across the land where generations have carried the spirit of Sumba.

Embark from @nihi on a day cast away on Sumba’s untouched shores.

Set out by boat in the early morning to go fishing in the open waters where you’ll catch your own lunch before heading to the white sands of Konda Beach. Swim, snorkel, or paddle board in the peaceful turquoise waters before your catch is served at your own a private barefoot barbecue. The Robinson Crusoe Experience is a memorable day for those seeking an authentic island adventure.
