The Great Escape

Serene moments in tranquil surroundings. Here, the world beyond Sumba fades away. Palm trees sway in the breeze, waves roll gently onto shore, and horses wander freely along 2.5 kilometres of untouched beach. This is a place where the wildness of Sumba calms the mind, restores the soul, and invites you to slow down. Welcome to @nihi, your home at the Edge of Wildness.

A foot massage in paradise with a touch of equine magic.

Sit back and take in the tranquility and picturesque setting of NIHI Spa. A rejuvenating retreat set in the midst of palm trees with an ocean view.

To get to Nihioka from @nihi requires either a 90-minute scenic trek, a 10-minute drive by safari vehicle, or a journey by e-bike or horseback. However you choose to arrive, your reward is to arrive to a place surrounded by nature that is disconnected from everywhere else. Enjoy an ocean-view breakfast before beginning an immersive half-day NIHI Spa Safari experience, with three treatments chosen by you from the menu. Choices include a therapeutic horse massage as part of NIHI Sumba’s Equine Wellness offering.

NIHI Spa is an unforgettable experience where your mind, body, and nature move gently back into harmony.

Feel the quiet magic of @nihi’s herd on Nihiwatu Beach. Moving to an unhurried rhythm, they wade through the water and leave footprints in the sand before letting their spirits loose in a gallop along the shoreline. A beautiful reminder of what true freedom looks like.

From chasing waves to an unforgettable set on the sand at The Boathouse, @ziggyalberts kicks off the very first Sunset Session at @nihi.

Morning swims at Putri Hillrise makes the world you know feel far away. A villa set high above @nihi that offers sweeping views of the Edge of Wildness and a true sense of escape.

Raw beauty, untamed adventure, and moments that stay with you forever. Welcome to @nihi. A place that stays with you long after you’ve left. Experience the magic in the spaces between nature and luxury. A retreat from the modern world out on the Edge of Wildness.

Wake up to the wonder of untamed nature as first light filters through the palms and the mist rises.

@nihi is where breakfast is served slowly and enjoyed with the sight of horses to admire and the background sound of waves rolling in. Spend your days with quiet swims by the ocean or in the comfort of your own private haven. The Edge of Wildness awaits to be discovered.

Experience Sumba’s ancient ways on Nihiwatu’s shoreline right in front of @nihi. On Mini Pasola nights by NIHI Sumba, you get an introduction to Sumba’s rich culture. Young riders from the nearby traditional villages pit their skills against one another by racing along the pristine white sand. A friendly and competitive race that guests can watch and cheer for. Proceeds go to the @sumbafoundation to help fund equipment the kids from the nearby villages may need for schooling.
