An Immersive Way to Experience the Edge of Wildness
Step into a one-of-a-kind journey designed to reveal the heart and soul of NIHI Sumba. When booking a one bedroom villa under this exclusive offer, the stay may unfold as a dynamic “run of the house” experience, allowing guests to discover some of our most distinctive villas over the course of their time with us.
Each villa at NIHI carries its own story, shaped by its setting, design, and connection to the land. During the stay, guests may be invited to move between these exceptional spaces, each offering a different perspective on the island and the resort. It is a rare opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of NIHI in a way few guests do.
Should any room movement take place, each transition will be a seamless mirror move, thoughtfully scheduled while guests are enjoying one of our signature experiences, relaxing by the pool, or lingering over a leisurely lunch. This ensures the journey flows effortlessly, without interrupting moments of rest or discovery. A dedicated Guest Kapten will oversee every detail, ensuring comfort, continuity, and ease throughout.
Every effort will be made to align each villa with guests’ personal preferences, so every new space feels familiar, considered, and entirely their own. All that is left to do is relax and allow the journey to unfold, immersed in the spirit, beauty, and depth of NIHI Sumba.
- Applicable for new bookings only
- Offer subject to availability at the time of booking

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.
Welcome to NIHI Sumba.
There’s nowhere quite like it. Sitting on the Edge of Wildness on the remote island of Sumba, just an hour from Bali, it’s a place where wild beauty, adventure and a little bit of magic come together.

Some places live up to the dream. NIHI Sumba is the kind of dream you don’t want to wake up from.
Come and see what everyone’s dreaming about.
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.
After an unforgettable first Healing with Horses retreat on the Edge of Wildness, we’re delighted to announce that Candice Webster will return to NIHI Sumba in 2027.
Our inaugural retreat brought together the extraordinary energy of Sumba, our Sandalwood horses and Candice’s intuitive approach to equine healing for five deeply transformative days of connection, renewal and discovery.
In 2027, we return to the herd for two intimate retreats:
1–6 June 2027
8–13 June 2027
Spaces are limited. Each retreat offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and experience the profound relationship between horses, nature and self.
Full details and enquires are available via the retreat page, linked in our bio.
A true @nihi journey that has only just begun.
Cherish is a graduate from the Rote Hospitality Academy. Today, he is proudly part of the team at @nihirote, welcoming guests from around the world and sharing the beauty, culture and stories of the island he calls home.
@rote_hospitality_academy is proud to help create opportunities for Rote’s next generation, providing the skills and pathways to build their futures on the island.
Where culture runs deep and nature remains wild.
From ancient traditions and the enduring bond between the Sumbanese people and their horses, to untouched coastlines, rolling hills and endless horizons, Sumba is a place shaped by both its people and the land they call home.
At NIHI, every journey is a chance to experience the island as it has been for generations: raw, beautiful and deeply connected to its roots.

Mornings to dream about.
Wake to the sound of rolling waves, swaying palms, and birdsong as the island slowly comes to life. Here, peace isn’t something you have to search for, it’s all around you. In the quiet, away from the everyday, you’ll find space to reconnect with nature, with the moment, and with yourself.
The simplest mornings often leave the greatest impression.
