NIHI Sumba: Remote Luxury, Adventure, and Sustainability on the Pristine Island
Recognized as one of the best hotels in the world, NIHI Sumba is much more than a resort: it's an experience of remote luxury, located on an almost untouched Indonesian island. It offers an exclusive retreat where adventure meets sustainability and local culture, with a strong focus on surfing, horseback riding, and the true luxury of simplicity and space.
Private Villas with Ocean View and Dedicated Butler
Accommodation consists of private villas, each with a rustic-chic design that uses local natural materials and offers spectacular views of the Indian Ocean. Many villas feature private pools and dedicated butlers, ensuring maximum privacy and impeccable, personalized service in an environment of total exclusivity.
Occy's Wave and Sunset Horseback Riding
NIHI is famous for the iconic private surf wave "Occy’s Left" and the unique experience of Sunset Horseback Riding on the beach. Beyond surfing, guests can explore local villages, participate in horse safaris, or simply relax on the private beach, choosing between relaxation and adventure at their leisure.
Authentic Gastronomy from the Organic Garden
The culinary philosophy centers on freshness and authenticity, with meals prepared using produce from their organic garden. The gastronomic experience is informal but high-quality, with beach dinners and opportunities to taste traditional Indonesian cuisine in evocative and romantic settings.
Ethical Commitment and Support for the NIHI Sumba Foundation
The commitment to sustainability and support for the local community, through the Nihi Sumba Foundation, is an integral part of the experience. Staying here is not just a luxury vacation, but a direct contribution to the preservation of the environment and the well-being of the inhabitants of Sumba, combining luxury and social responsibility.
