Nihi Sumba

Nihi and Sumba Island was an experience of a lifetime. It was great to experience the local culture and the resort was amazing. The weather didn't work in our favour but the team made our stay special regardless. The service and food was amazing. The Spa Sarafi was next level. I hope we can come back again some day. Our warm thanks to Asnad, Raju, Madlen and the rest of the team for looking after us. - Angelo & Fiona

The place is unique, the Sumbanese people are generous and heartwarming hosts and the prevailing culture is enriching and present all around the resort. The team does a magnificent job from rooms to food & beverage, the Boathouse catering the famous surf spot occy’s left, an incredible activity program with amazing choices and not to forget the latest edition of wild wellness with equine therapy - a must do. Nihi Sumba / The Edge of Wildness is a place to recommend in full conviction. I will definitely be back 👌. Thank you to the entire Nihi Sumba team for a fantastic welcome and stay experience. 🙏

This was my second time and won't be my last. Such a spectacular experience we all had. Everything about it was outstanding. We were upgraded and we were completely overwhelmed by the breathtaking views. Yummiest food, the best freshest menu. Staff are so very kind and helpful .The horse activities are a must. shame I don't surf, next time i will try.

NIHI was amazing in every way. From the room, to the beach, to the food and all the great staff, it was as close to perfect as you could get. The resort felt completely secluded with nearly two miles of beach all to yourself. Combine that with the great cause they stand for and the opportunities they have brought many of the locals to Sumba and you would have a hard time not choosing this destination over any other in Indonesia. We will be back!

It’s hard to know where to start with this review. Everything was wonderful. We stayed in one of the Maranga Villas. The interior spaces were beautiful and well designed. The Villas has a nice private pool and a terrace with bale. Great places to peacefully hang out. Walking through the garden, you’ll come to your very own hut by the shore with a bed, minibar, and loungers. Great place for the sunset. The whole vibe of the place very relaxed yet very professional. The restaurant was outstanding! Every morsel that went in my mouth was perfect. We didn’t try the spa—next time, definitely. For me, the highlights of this stay was visiting the Sumba Project and the English lessons. Our visit to the Sumba Project included one of the malaria clinics, and going to a local school to serve a special high-protein lunch to the kids. You can read about the Sumba Project elsewhere, so suffice it to say that they do great work. The English lessons were the highlight of the stay. We spent item answering questions that the kids had, and got to participate in the lessons. The kids are super curious and asked great questions.

Best holiday ever. Luxury barefoot holiday with a great vibe. Location is stunning. Staff is doing the best so you have a wonderful holiday. Best food we had in Indonesia. Lots of activities for adults and children. The villa’s are so beautiful and comfortable. Couldn’t find one glitch to this amazing holiday. We come back next year, for sure.

Simply the best place I've been in my life. Nihi Sumba és sin exagerar la definición perfecta de paraíso. Todos los detalles son perfectos, el personal nos hizo sentir super queridos, están atentos a todos los detalles y siempre transmitiendo energia positiva. Nunca me atendieron tan bien, estoy también super agradecido a Sarah Jane y a Melisa y el personal de tras de la sorpresa que nos organizaron! Sarah (F&B manager) y su marido Maurice (Chef) fueron simplemente encantadores desde nuestro primer dia, además de su hospitalidad nos encantó conocerlos, nos hicieron sentir como amigos de toda la vida. There is no price for what Nihi Sumba gives to they're guests. Un gran saludo a toda la Familia Nihi! Ya estoy deseando poder regresar de nuevo.

Visiting Nihi was on bucket list for years seeing the culture and the simplicity of the place. Everything iz amazing. The scenery, the food, and the amazing and attentive staff. The local community was the highlight of the stay and how the staff can bring all the guests altogether.

Our stay at Nihi was the most unique experience we have ever had. Nihi is well worth the visit and my husband and I will be back every chance we get. Everything is so well thought out and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. The resort offered so many fun activities to keep us occupied as well. Surfing was our favorite! We surfed everyday with Mark. He was absolutely incredible! Nihi has an amazing setup for my husband and I. My husband is an advanced surfer and I am fairly new to surfing and struggle to get into waves on my own. Mark from tropicsurf helped get me into waves at Occy's left. It was my first time using Tropicsurf, and definitely won't be my last. Mark is such an amazing coach, he was so patient with me and he gave me the confidence to surf bigger waves than I ever thought I would. He always knew the best waves to choose for me and if a wave was too steep he would pull me back and make sure I was safe. When he wasn't surfing with me he was helping my husband choose the best waves. He really made our stay. We are already planning our next trip back to Nihi!
