Nihi Sumba

‘The Edge of Wildness’

Sometimes in life good things are worth journeying to, the same is true with Nihi Sumba. An hours flight from Bali followed by a 90 minute car journey, we promise it will all melt away once you arrive at the ‘edge of wildness’.

This resort is unlike any other and from the minute you arrive you can sense it. Immediately guided through the lobby and down past the immaculate gardens, the friendly, welcoming staff happily show you to your villa and assign you a personalised butler for your stay.

The villas are more that just a room, they are designed to have all the home comforts you need but to wow you at the same time. With views extending over the Indian Ocean and a private pool as standard the wow factor is definitely there. If you can tear yourselves away from the in-room chocolates, which come daily from the in-house chocolate factory(!), the twice voted best hotel in the world offers plenty of activities to tailor make your perfect trip, from sunrise yoga to sunset horse rides along the beach.

Nihi Sumba is also home to Nihi Oka; a spa safari encounter. Be swept away for half a day as you begin with a 90 minute morning hike through Sumba. Passing traditional villages and the famous NipiLima ‘wishing hand’ before indulging in breakfast by the waters edge and a choice of 3 luxury spa treatments to follow. All completed open air to really relish in the nature of the island.

This resort is made to be more than just a holiday. You will definitely leave a changed person to when you arrived. The people, both locals and staff, the culture and the resort itself offer something more than just a trip away. This truly is a once in a lifetime vacation. The owners not only have their guests best interests at heart but the interests of the Sumbanese too. With the implementation of their Sumba Foundation they’re committed to lessening the effects of poverty on the island. By providing humanitarian aid, clean drinking water and education on lessening Malaria, Nihi Sumba is helping re-educate the country and its children for the future.

A place to disconnect and to reconnect, this enchanting seafront hideaway grants you a “vacation with a purpose and a destination with meaning”. Whether you are heading here for a honeymoon or a once-in-a-lifetime holiday you will leave coming up with reasons to return, we know we are!
