It’s simply the space to roam freely and an appreciation for the untouched earth that characterise a stay at NIHI Sumba. And though this ‘forgotten island’ often falls under the radar, rarely are coastlines more coveted than at the site of Nihiwatu. A secluded – and exclusive – surfer’s paradise without doubt, hidden behind a jungle embrace, wellness manifests in a reminder of our intrinsic connection to the natural world.
Divided into four distinct pathways, the ‘wild wellness’ concept takes the classics of lavish luxury to the great outdoors, encouraging a slower pace of life in its placid spa treatments. Fresh ingredients used in elegantly simple cuisine continue a connection to the island, while active pursuits cover both land and sea. And almost in answer to mother nature’s generosity, the work of The Sumba Foundation looks beyond the resort to protect the rich culture and heritage of the island community. It’s this subtle symbiosis that grounds an already tranquil oasis.
Something special Tapping into Sumba’s history, a stay here wouldn’t be complete without spending time with the island’s horses. Whether by the shoreline or roaming freely over green pastures, these intelligent animals effortlessly bring a calm, steady presence, naturally encouraging guests to bring their full selves to any experience. As symbols of freedom, strength and partnership, they’re even said to help bring balance between the spiritual and physical worlds as a feature of the island’s annual Pasola celebrations.
We recommend To best experience this west-coast enclave, we’d recommend spending six nights settled at NIHI Sumba. A stretch of time that allows guests to see the resort in its entirety, the expectation is to take each day at your own pace, choosing to indulge in the spa, embrace island culture and enjoy days to simply do nothing. Enhancing your holiday even further, we’d suggest adding a private yacht cruise through Komodo, and a stay in ever-popular Bali.

Catch the famous Occy’s Left wave Nicknamed after the Australian surfing champion Mark Occhilupo, who thought it among the best waves he’d ever surfed, the 300-meter left-hand point break of Nihiwatu is the best way for an experienced surfer to appreciate mother nature’s power on the coast of Indonesia. Connecting to a destination doesn’t get more thrilling, or exclusive than this. Reserved only for guests of NIHI Sumba, only a select few can take on this giant at one time.
