Set on the little-known island of Sumba, a 50-minute flight east of Bali, this stunning resort offers its guests the chance to experience the breath-taking natural beauty of the island and the warmth of its people.
Luxurious thatched villas combine traditional Sumbanese craftsmanship with private pools and personal butlers. The Boathouse is the hub for all water-based activities including surfing NIHI’s famous left-hand break while Sandalwood Stables offers a full range of equestrian pursuits.
Beyond the resort, trek to ancient villages and dramatic waterfalls or enjoy a day of unlimited spa treatments on the award winning NIHI Oka Spa Safari.

Surfing
NIHI Sumba Island is host to one of the world’s most coveted private waves. Known as “God’s Left,” or often “Occy’s Left” (after Australian surfer Mark Occhilupo), the wave is popular for its character.

Nestled under the trees in a cottage like setting, Mandaka’s one-bedroom villa combines the luxury of the expansive estate with its own secluded corner of the property overlooking NIHI’s coveted surf wave.
