Wild Wellness



Arrive with an open heart and leave changed forever.

Welcome to Wild Wellness, an extraordinary holistic immersion that fuses the rawness of nature with unregulated luxury and the best in healing practices, adding happiness-inducing and results-oriented wellbeing experiences to the world of wellness.

Be Wild. Be Free. Be Well.


At NIHI® Sumba, we believe that true wellness comes from forging an intimate connection with the power of nature. Here, amidst the unspoilt beauty of Sumba Island, the untamed becomes your guide, reawakening instincts and fostering a profound sense of liberation. As a direct response to the growing demand for transformative and holistic travel, NIHI® ’s guests are invited to enter a world that transcends spa; a place to be totally wild whilst practicing each of the leading pathways to wellbeing; physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental.

From long walks along the remote Nihiwatu beach to surfing Occy’s Left, rejuvenating spa treatments at our award-winning Spa Safari, unique Wildly Fit and Rebalance programs, to meditating underwater, practicing yoga in the jungle, or building trust with our wild sandalwood horses through soulful Equine Connection programs, wellness at NIHI® is pure and transformative, awakening the primal self, and allowing our guests to fully disconnect.

NIHI® Sumba is more than a wellness escape; it is a testament to the transformative potential of embracing the wild within. So, let us dare to lose ourselves, for it is in the depths of this wilderness that we find our way back to our true vibrant nature.

The 4 Pathways to Wild Wellness

  • Community and looking beyond ourselves

  • Nature

  • Nutritious and fresh food

  • Movement and a healing touch

Community and looking beyond ourselves

A very important pathway to wellness at NIHI® is being exposed to the rich cultural heritage of the Sumbanese people.

Through community, both at the resort and through exploration of Sumba alongside our NIHI® Guides, we discover what makes us unique but also what makes us a community.
Spending time in the company of people who live the island life can offer us immense wisdom and healing.

Come as a guest, leave as family.

Nature

Reconnect with your deepest self through slowing down, trekking, swimming or surfing, horse riding, taking in fresh air, or syncing with the natural rhythms of the day like rising with the sun and watching it set, letting simple moments open our senses, with nature as our guide and healer.

This serves as a natural detoxification from the overstimulation of the modern world where we are bombarded with messages and frenetic energy.

We even encourage our guests to consider embracing a digital detox while at NIHI®.

Nutritious and fresh food

Let thy food be thy medicine and
thy medicine thy food
”, to quote the
father of Medicine, Greek physician
Hippocrates.

Fresh, natural and made with love is how we define our menus that are high in omega, nutritious, and incorporate the rich herbal heritage of the Sumba 7 : cinnamon, coriander
seeds, betel nut, turmeric, galangal, ginger root, and mangosteen skin.

Prepared by our internationally trained
culinary experts.

Movement and a healing touch

At NIHI®, each day is purposefully designed to bring joy and wonder as our guests explore new parts of the island and experience different ways of life. The warm smiles of the Sumbanese people greet them as they journey through the Edge of Wildness™.

Our local spa team and world-renowned Visiting Gurus provide therapeutic sessions that promote healing and well-being, ensuring that our programs focus on the fundamental connection between humans and nature.
