Tucked away on the remote island of Sumba in Indonesia, NIHI Sumba is a rare retreat where untamed beauty meets barefoot luxury.

For a more intimate affair, Kaboku presents an elegant omakase experience paired with premium Japanese sake and whisky. Meanwhile, The Boathouse Bar—dramatically set by the surf—offers craft cocktails and small bites, especially popular during their daily ‘Happiest Hour’.

NIHI Sumba goes beyond luxury to offer life-enriching experiences. Guests can explore the island by hiking, horseback riding, or mountain biking, or take to the ocean with surfing, snorkeling, and fishing. The renowned Spa Safari provides a full-day wellness journey set amid lush cliffs, while the Wild Wellness program invites deeper connection through jungle yoga, beach meditation, and daily swims with the resort’s Sandalwood horses—an unforgettable, soul-stirring ritual.
