For the Surfers
We are host to one of the world’s best waves, Occy’s left. To maintain a globally unparalleled surfing experience, we limit the wave to fifteen (15) registered surfers per day, so please ensure you get your bookings in to avoid disappointment (max 1 per room subject to availability).
From May to the end of September expect moderate to high surf. It is consistently in the 4-6+ foot range, with days where it can get into the 6-9+ foot range. It is during this time of year that it is possible to see the largest surf, with waves at Nihiwatu beach reaching a maximum of 12 feet. It is the peak season for surfing, with regard to both consistency and size. The trade winds can pick up in the afternoons, so mornings are usually the best time to surf. May and September typically have the calmest/most favorable winds, and July and August have the largest surf.

Reformer Pilates with @wearetpp comes to NIHI Sumba until 20 October.
Known for expert coaching and a highly personalised approach to Pilates, The Pilates Project brings private Reformer sessions to The Edge of Wildness™️.
Combining strength, stability, mobility and control, each session is tailored to the individual, overlooking the Indian Ocean as Sumba’s horses wander along the shoreline below.
Expert-led Reformer Pilates in a setting unlike any other.
Our 2027 Healing with Horses Retreats with Candice Webster are now open for bookings, and places are filling quickly.
Following the extraordinary energy of our retreat in June, we return with two intimate five-day experiences, bringing together the wild beauty of Sumba, our Sandalwood horses and Candice’s intuitive approach to equine healing.
1–6 June 2027
8–13 June 2027
Each retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect and experience the profound relationship between horses, nature and self.
Spaces are limited, with availability already filling fast.
Full details and enquiries are available via the retreat page, linked in our bio.
Reformer Pilates has arrived at @nihi, as part of a very special new partnership.
Move to the sound of the ocean, right on the beach, as NIHI’s horses wander past.
Possibly the best view you’ll ever have from a reformer.
Set on the remote Indonesian island of Sumba, just one hour flight from Bali, @nihi is where the simple, raw, unfiltered beauty of island life unfolds.
Rooted in tradition, rich in culture, and surrounded by untamed natural beauty, this is the essence of NIHI.

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.
