Yoga and wellness are an integral part of the NIHI experience. Our stunning yoga pavilion, a breathtaking platform set on Nihiwatu Beach, invites you into a sacred space of solitude, where the soothing sound of the Indian Ocean guides each breath and movement.
Daily complimentary group classes cater to all levels and each session encourages growth, balance, and a deeper connection between body, mind, and spirit.
A gentler class than the Vinyasa Flow classes, Hatha Yoga consists of dynamic Yoga postures that will help you develop strength, balance, flexibility and increase concentration & inner calm.
Learn correct alignment, conscious breathing, work with possible injuries, relax, and enjoy!
A strong and energetic flow class, this style of Yoga links breath and movement through a creative, flowing sequence of Yoga postures.
Expect to sweat and leave feeling invigorated, refreshed, and inspired.
Modifications are given for different levels.
All levels are welcome.
Yin Yoga is a Taoist form of Yoga that targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and spine.
Instructed at a gentle, soothing pace, floor postures are held for longer periods of time (3-5min) to facilitate deeper opening.
The long holds create space for mindfulness and connection within.
Replenish your body, mind and soul with a deeply relaxing restorative yoga practice.
Find stillness in deep yet subtle stretches and relaxing music.
Most poses are on the floor supported by props such as blocks and bolsters. Release and let go.
Find connection with your inner universe through the breath and meditation.
Learn simple techniques for sustaining single pointed concentration, clearing the mind and deepening your consciousness.
Meditation promotes relaxation, blood flow, a sense of total well-being, and steady mindedness.
Breath-work or Pranayama modulates the nervous system and creates a sense of inner alignment and balance.
Enjoy a serene practice and personalized yoga session at your own leisure.
Each class is tailored to suit your individual requirements, and can take place at our Yoga Pavilion or in your private villa.
No experience necessary, and all levels welcome.
Deepen your yoga and meditation practice through our seasonal special workshops.
Topics may include Inversion Practice, Breathwork Techniques, Introduction to Kundalini Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Somatic Meditation – and beyond.
Check the schedule upon your arrival for these targeted yoga experiences, designed to elevate and enhance your practice.
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. 🤍

Wake up to uninterrupted oceanfront views at Marangga Villa, dive into your private plunge pool and spend sun soaked afternoons with a glass of wine in hand, accompanied by the soothing sound of the ocean.

The beauty of NIHI Sumba is found in moments like these.
The gentle ocean breeze, the sound of waves washing against the shore, and our horses peacefully enjoying their daily swim in the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Beach.
Enjoy your morning swim at Nio Beach Club, surrounded by untouched nature, where the serenity of the island invites you to slow down and appreciate the magic of simply being here.
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. 🤎

Introducing Raja Puncak, NIHI’s spectacular brand new three bedroom villa.
Our newest villa sits at the highest point of the resort, with sweeping views over Nihiwatu Beach and the wild landscapes of Sumba.
An endless infinity pool, private check-in and cocktails at sunset create an extraordinary setting to experience the raw, wild beauty of Sumba from above.
A new icon at NIHI. This is Raja Puncak.
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.
The magic of Nihiwatu Beach reveals itself slowly, from the soft morning mist to the last light of sunset.
Mist hangs over the coastline, horses move across the sand, and scenes of Sumbanese culture unfold along the shore. As the sun slips lower, turtles make their way towards the ocean and the whole beach seems to slow for a moment.
Wild, beautiful and completely Sumba.

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.
