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.
Simple quiet mornings at NIHI. Everyday life unfolds along the beach, with horses wandering the shoreline against this incredible landscape. A genuine glimpse of Sumba in a truly magical setting.
The magic of Nihiwatu Beach lies in the local life that unfolds before your eyes. A meeting place for hundreds of villagers, the beach is a source of food, a place to fish in the morning and hunt for squid at sunset, to wash ponies in the ocean, walk buffalo along the shore and race horses with friends.
Raw and unfiltered. It is simply life in Sumba, natural and shaped by traditions that have lived on here for generations.

Not just an ordinary hotel.
Wake to uninterrupted ocean views from your bed, where morning light dances across the water, mist rises from the hills, and Nihiwatu’s white-sand beach awaits below. Discover an island shaped by deep-rooted culture, soulful traditions and the warmth of its people.

A wellness experience unlike any other awaits at Nihioka Spa.
Five kilometres from the resort, the journey begins on foot, horseback, or by safari Jeep through traditional villages and rolling hills. Your first glimpse awaits at the Nipi Lima Wishing Hand, where NIHI Spa appears between the rice fields and the ocean below.
Set across 100 acres of Nihioka, this is wellness shaped by nature. Design your own experience with open-air treatments that unfold over hours, carried by ocean breezes and skilled hands.
Equine massage, reiki, hidden coves, and even a private villa stay are all part of the magic awaiting you at NIHI Spa Safari.
Sunset scenes at NIHI Sumba. Local boys bathing their horses in the ocean, surfers catching the last waves of the day, palm trees silhouetted against the sky and the water glistening in the golden light. The soul of the island, at its most beautiful.

If heaven was a place on earth, it might look a little like NIHI.
There is something endlessly beautiful about watching horses roam free, running the shoreline and swimming in the ocean, life as it was intended. These majestic creatures are woven deeply into the culture of Sumba, companions to its people and part of the very soul of the island.
Enjoy the quiet life at NIHI Sumba.
Peaceful mornings, the sounds of nature, space to slow down and disconnect.
This is the magic of NIHI, the soul of the island felt in every breeze, every wave and every still moment. A place where the wild beauty of Sumba seems to soften time itself.
