Nihi Sumba

Undiscovered by mass tourism, the island is located 250 miles southeast of Bali. With a short, one-hour flight, visitors can discover virgin landscapes, picture-perfect beaches, tropical scenery and a fascinating tribal culture.

Nihi Sumba was borne out of a vision to protect and preserve the unique culture of Sumba and empower the local communities to support themselves and their families through The Sumba Foundation. As a result, the island has been left almost entirely in its wild natural state. The villas are styled with a rustic charm that combines Sumbanese craftsmanship with contemporary design. True to it’s ethos, Nihi Sumba’s staff is made up of over 90% of local Sumbanese residents.

Nihi Sumba is home to 28 luxury eco villas with 38 rooms in a one, two, three, four, or five-bedroom layout, most have a private pool, perfect for couples and families alike. Constructed using local materials, each villa is air-conditioned with panoramic views of the ocean ahead.
