award-winning experience

Indulge your senses with our unforgettable Spa Safari^™,
a journey designed to transport you both physically and spiritually.

Begin your adventure from the resort to the stunning Spa Safari™ in style, choosing between a soulful morning trek, a scenic safari jeep ride, or a peaceful journey on horseback. Traverse through the enchanting Sumba jungle, meander past traditional villages, and cross golden rice fields. Awaiting you is pure serenity: intimate treatment rooms nestled on verdant cliffs, offering breathtaking ocean views. This is where deep relaxation and rejuvenation meet, creating an experience of profound indulgence.

Your journey begins with an invigorating 90-minute trek, a 90-minute horseback ride, or a breezy 15-minute ride in an open-air safari vehicle along Sumba’s dramatic west coast. As you pass through rolling hills and charming cultural villages, your Sumbanese guide will share fascinating insights into the island’s traditional tribal culture and the untouched way of life its people have preserved for generations. Upon arrival at the tranquil Nihioka valley, you’ll be greeted with a cool towel and a refreshing coconut. From there, savor the option of a wholesome breakfast or lunch, cooked over an open fire and served on the Nihioka treehouse platform. Nestled above a secluded natural cove, this breathtaking spot offers sweeping ocean views that soothe the soul.

After dining, your private treatment room awaits, where skilled therapists are ready to pamper you with a range of luxurious spa treatments. Choose and combine full-body massages, cooling and rejuvenating wraps, organic facials, body scrubs, or reflexology, with each treatment using natural, locally sourced botanical products to restore and rejuvenate.

Remember, this experience is all about you—your desires, your pace, your ultimate relaxation. Before, between, or after treatments, take time to explore the untamed beauty around you. Stroll along the wild beaches or relax in the ocean-view pool. Return to the resort in an open-air vehicle either at midday or as the sun begins to set, having experienced both adventure and serenity in equal, wondrous measures.

For those with riding experience, the adventure can continue with the option to return to NIHI^® on horseback or by bicycle, adding an extra touch of freedom and thrill to your day of indulgence.
