Sumba is a land that awakens curiosity, a rare island where nature remains wild,
culture runs deep, and adventure lies around every corner.
Glide through the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Bay. Step inside ancient villages perched high in Lamboya’s hills — where life feels untouched by time, as if stepping back 500 years. Trace hidden paths to cascading waterfalls. Wander through Wanukaka’s emerald rice fields, unchanged for generations. And perhaps the greatest luxury of all: in this remote, untamed land, you will feel something profoundly rare — a complete sense of safety and peace. In today’s world, this is an extraordinary gift.
At Nihi Sumba, we craft every activity with intention, not simply to entertain, but to connect.
To bring you closer to the island’s soul through moments of beauty, ritual, and discovery. Every experience is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in Sumba’s living culture and breathtaking natural world — with a level of comfort and authenticity that reflects our commitment to your journey.
Daily Experiences
Each day offers new opportunities to explore Sumba’s wonders. A curated selection of guided experiences is available daily — your Guest Kapten will gladly help tailor your itinerary.
On-Demand & Private Experiences
For those seeking flexibility, we offer a wide range of On-Demand Experiences, ready to be arranged around your personal rhythm. Should you desire a private version of any scheduled activity outside of regular hours, we would be delighted to create this for you (subject to availability and a 50% surcharge). Please consult your Guest Kapten.
