For a more intimate experience, Kaboku presents a sophisticated omakase menu paired with fine Japanese sake and whisky. The Boathouse Bar, perched dramatically by the surf, invites guests to unwind with cocktails and light bites, particularly during their ‘Happiest Hour’.

Beyond luxurious accommodations and dining, NIHI Sumba is a hub for transformative experiences.

The renowned Spa Safari offers a holistic wellness retreat amidst nature, combining ancient healing traditions with breathtaking clifftop views. Wild Wellness programs further encourage guests to reconnect with their primal selves, from yoga in the jungle to soulful encounters with the resort’s herd of Sandalwood horses that are brought to the beach for a swim every morning and are also available for exhilarating beach gallops.

Sustainability and cultural immersion are central to NIHI Sumba’s ethos. The resort’s eco-friendly initiatives include organic gardens, water recycling, and a turtle hatchery, reflecting a deep commitment to preserving the island’s natural and cultural heritage. Guests can actively participate in these efforts, fostering a meaningful connection to Sumba’s vibrant community and unspoiled environment.
