Mandaka Surf
A Centrally Located One-Bedroom Villa
Mandaka Surf is a one-bedroom villa tucked within the trees of the Mandaka Estate. Lush and private, it also offers direct access to the resort’s Boathouse.
Compact and self-contained, the villa feels like its own hidden nook within NIHI Sumba. It includes a private outdoor bathtub, a shaded garden setting and its own plunge pool that overlooks the ocean. The aura of seclusion and prime central location makes it an ideal choice for solo travellers or couples seeking a quieter corner of the resort.

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.

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.
