NIHI Sumba occupies a stretch of coast on Sumba island, two hours east of Bali by air, where 2.5km of private beach meets one of the world's best surf breaks at Occy's Left. There is nothing resort-like about it.
The estate runs on horses, ocean and land: a stable of Sandalwood ponies, the Nihi Oka Spa Safari reached by a 90-minute walk along the coast, and the Sumba Foundation working in the surrounding villages. Wellness here is earned rather than administered.
A short NIHI Sumba experience combining beach riding on the estate's Sandalwood ponies with the Nihi Oka Spa Safari — the resort's signature day of treatments above the ocean.
Mornings are spent riding the private beach and village tracks; the spa safari itself begins with a 90-minute coastal walk to a cliffside spa for a full day of treatments, meals and rest. Occy's Left is available for anyone who surfs.
Anyone with a short window on Sumba who wants the two things NIHI does better than anywhere — its horses and its spa safari.
A thoughtfully curated collection of experiences designed to enrich your stay. From wellness and nature to culture and gastronomy, each moment invites you to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the essence of the estate.
