Dearest NIHI family

It’s been a long two years since the pandemic first swept across the world, and Indonesia rightfully decided to close its borders like many other nations. The people of Indonesia and Sumba have endured during this difficult period.

We want to start by saying that we are indeed grateful for all of the support we have had from our global NIHI family but especially from our Indonesian guests and friends who we look forward to continue welcoming to NIHI^® Sumba.
From all of our hearts, Terima Kasih Indonesia.

We have spent this time staying positive with the best of our Sumba Smiles while preparing for the day when we would be able to welcome the rest of the world back to NIHI^® Sumba.

Today is that day.
