Experiences

Discover the Spirit of Sumba

Sumba is an island where nature remains wild, traditions run deep, and discovery feels effortless. Whether on land or sea, every experience is an invitation to explore.

Swim in the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Bay and surf the world renowned wave, Occy’s Left, in front of the resort. Watch our horses run along Nihiwatu Beach’s 2.5km stretch. Visit ancient hilltop villages in Lamboya, where generations have preserved their way of life. Follow jungle paths to hidden waterfalls, or walk through the emerald rice fields of Wanukaka that continue to shape the island’s landscape.

At NIHI Sumba, each activity is thoughtfully curated to go beyond recreation. Our experiences are designed to connect you with the island’s culture, its people, and its extraordinary natural surroundings.

Raja Mandaka, the crown jewel of NIHI Sumba.

Perched above the Indian Ocean, with uninterrupted views stretching along the Sumbanese coastline, it feels like a world of its own. Mornings unfold slowly, golden light spills across the horizon, and the sound of the ocean follows you from sunrise to sunset.

No trending audio. No soundtrack needed.

Just the rhythm of Sumba. The ocean, the horses, the wind through the palms and the sounds that make this place feel like nowhere else.
