Nihi Sumba

Beach and Island Escapes
Sumba, Indonesia

Stretching across 560 acres of unspoiled natural land including a two and half-kilometre private beach, this spectacular all-villa resort offers secluded privacy and the ultimate exclusivity.

The 21 villas of exceptional design are built on private terraces with large verandahs that sift through the trees with an impressive use of living space, imbued by natural materials to make the most of the dramatic views.

Why we like Nihi Sumba

We love the pure simplicity of the concept. Beautiful rooms, great service and one of the most wonderful settings of a hotel we’ve known.

Activities

If you can tear yourself away from the view there is lots to keep guests occupied. Water activities such as surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, boat charters and diving are key but the cultural activities are a must. Understand more about this peaceful island with village walks, market tours and engagement with the Sumba Foundation. Horses play an important role in Sumba’s culture and thus riding lessons, galloping down the beach and even taking the horses for a swim are available and a wonderful thing to do for those with or without prior experience.

Sustainability

Nihi Sumba works closely with the Sumba Foundation providing opportunities for local people and engaging in a range of philanthropic causes. Guests staying at the hotel directly support a range of initiatives including the provision of potable water, medical clinics and mosquito nets for local villages, as well as helping improve local schools and farming infrastructure.
