Located in the quiet bay of Nihiwatu Beach, NIHI® Sumba, proclaimed the Nº1 HOTEL IN THE WORLD 2016 and 2017 by the Conde Nast Traveler Reader’s Award 2017, is one of the most exclusive and authentic refuges in the world. Surrounded by lush and virgin landscapes, it is completely blended with the ancient tribal culture. With just 27 villas on 270 hectares of forest and a 2,5 kilometres private beach, 93% of its staff are Sumbanese locals which in turn boosts Sumba’s economy by allowing communities to develop and flourish sustainably. “Signature” experiences are the experiences with horses on the beach, the Spa Safari Experience or the famous waves for both experienced and beginner surfers.
