Nihiwatu Sumba Resort
Welcome to Indonesia!Tucked away just 400KM to the east of Bali, there is a place of world-class surfing, superb sport-fishing, breathtaking hiking trails, culturally-rich villages at one of Indonesia’s least explored islands. With built-in local architecture seemingly set amidst their naturally stunning landscapes, the Nihi Beach blends so harmoniously to give such an authentic, tropical experience… The Nihiwatu Resort well-deserves the award for World’s Best Private Hotel in 2016, and you’ll see why.
Rice Paddies Lying in the South of Flores, Sumba has formed a mixture of terrains and tropical habitats that makes it quite unique to its neighboring islands. From dry savannahs, mountains, evergreen forests to beaches and very little tourist development, the island’s traditional culture is mostly intact; making it an interesting subject for many anthropological documentaries. For those who wish to revel in it luxuriously will choose none other than the Nihiwatu Eco Resort.
Sunset Horseride To immerse yourself in an out-of-this-world experience whilst bringing your teeny boppers, book a babysitter before you head down to any of your activities!
Wellness-aficionados and thrill-seekers rejoice! The resort provides a stunning yoga platform and a unique open-air Nihi Oka Spa Safari that looks over the white sandy beaches blessed with gnarly surfer-approved waves...
Campfire + movies Right at the cliff edge, the Marangga villas are set with jaw-dropping ocean views. To be among the trees, the Kanatar Sumba Houses have a bedroom with a terrace and (private) outdoor bathrooms! With 567 acres of land and private beach, there’s plenty of room! Luckily, all have a standard for easy breeze-y outdoor living, private gardens, and sweeping ocean views. Why look for a community pool when each villa has its own?
