Nihi Sumba

About the hotel

Often hailed as the best hotel in the world, Nihi Sumba sits beautifully along the untouched, endless beaches of the Indonesian island of Sumba — a place where luxury and a deep connection to nature exist in perfect harmony. The 28 uniquely designed villas, many with private pools and breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean, create an exceptional oasis of calm and restoration. Across several restaurants, guests can enjoy exquisite cuisine defined by a harmonious interplay of local and international flavours. The wealth of activities, from surfing and horse riding to cultural tours, also ensures that every stay is unforgettable. The resort is not only a paradise for travellers, but also places great emphasis on sustainability and supporting the local community. The values and spirit of the Sumba Foundation, although operating independently from the resort, can be felt and experienced throughout.

Kids & Teens

Children of all ages are warmly welcomed and can take part in a wide range of engaging activities, including workshops. For children aged 5 to 11, there is a pony club programme at Nihi Sumba’s Sandalwood Stables. This playful and interactive learning experience allows children not only to ride the friendly ponies, but above all to learn about daily care and connection with the horses. The resort also offers a dedicated children’s programme, the Wildlings programme, centred on adventure and nature exploration, designed to nurture motor skills and cultural understanding. There are also activities such as a weekly chocolate-making class, where children create delicious treats while discovering plenty of fascinating knowledge along the way. Across the resort’s wide open spaces, younger guests can play safely, explore their surroundings or simply enjoy precious family time by the pool.

Experiences & Activities

Whether it is surf lessons at nearby Coconut Cove with world-class instructors, hikes to local villages or swimming with horses, guests can enjoy bespoke adventures tailored to their passions and interests. Venture deep into the jungle or swim in the crystal-clear waters of Weekuri Lake after enjoying a delicious picnic. The guides ensure that every tailored excursion becomes an unforgettable experience. The culinary experiences at the resort are equally unforgettable. The combination of local flavours and international influences, prepared with fresh ingredients from the resort’s own organic garden — whether at breakfast and dinner or during a relaxed lunch of freshly caught fish and grilled dishes — is a feast for the senses. The resort hosts weekly culinary events such as a jungle dinner and also offers an omakase experience featuring fresh sushi, sashimi and grilled seafood in an elegant, intimate setting. At the Boathouse Bar, guests can linger over refreshing cocktails, take in spectacular sunsets and let the day drift gently to a close.

Best time to travel

The ideal time to visit the breathtakingly beautiful and largely untouched island of Sumba, east of Bali, is from June to September. During the dry season, the weather is ideal for discovery and outdoor adventures. Pleasantly warm temperatures and low rainfall create perfect conditions for exploring Sumba’s striking landscapes and beaches. Even in the reMayning, slightly wetter months, most rainfall falls at night, making Sumba an exceptional year-round destination.

    Destination region

    Sumba

    Sumba is a remote island in eastern Indonesia, defined by sweeping savannahs, dramatic coastlines and a vibrant culture with deep-rooted traditions. Untouched beaches, traditional villages and a surprisingly diverse landscape make Sumba a destination for travellers seeking authenticity and depth – including families eager to discover something new together.

    Experiences here are as varied as they are close to nature: powerful waves at Nihiwatu, peaceful bays such as Pantai Mandorak, and cultural encounters in villages like Ratenggaro and Prai Ijing. Walks lead to waterfalls such as Lapopu Waterfall and the turquoise waters of Weekuri Lake. Horseback rides along the coast or through open landscapes are among the island’s most memorable moments – as are shared evenings of local cuisine, music and dance.
