NIHI Sumba
Sumba
“Barefoot wilderness outpost”
Condé Nast Traveler
“Nihi Sumba is a rare combination of upscale and down to earth.”
Vibe
Sandalwood horses run along private surf breaks and open-air pavilions tuck into 500 acres of rugged coastal jungle.
“Barefoot wilderness outpost”
Private surf breaks at Occy's Left, swimming Sandalwood horses in ocean surf, and waterfall jungle treks.
Dedicated Guest Kapten butler service, private infinity plunge pools, and open-air beachfront dining at Ombak.
Deep community partnership with the Sumba Foundation and guiding from native staff across neighboring Wanokaka villages.
Set across coastal jungle and rolling hills bordering Nihiwatu's private beach along the Indian Ocean.
Rooms
Thatched conical roofs rise above teak-and-stone pavilions, where private plunge pools look straight out across the Indian Ocean.
Wellness
The Nihioka Spa Safari leads guests across rice terraces to open-air cliffside bales for treatments above crashing ocean waves.
Backstory
Claude and Petra Graves founded the outpost in 1988 as a barebones surf camp centered on the legendary Occy's Left wave.
Eat & drink
Diners sink their feet into sand floors at Ombak, while Nio Beach Club serves wood-fired pizzas and grilled reef fish oceanside.
The neighborhood
Beyond the estate's coastal hills, jungle trails wind past traditional Wanokaka villages and thunder down to the Lapopu Waterfall.
The app
Hotel Please was drawn for the phone in your hand — and this is the flat version of it.
