Experiences

Discover the Spirit of Sumba

Sumba is an island where nature remains wild, traditions run deep, and discovery feels effortless. Whether on land or sea, every experience is an invitation to explore.

Swim in the turquoise waters of Nihiwatu Bay and surf the world renowned wave, Occy’s Left, in front of the resort. Watch our horses run along Nihiwatu Beach’s 2.5km stretch. Visit ancient hilltop villages in Lamboya, where generations have preserved their way of life. Follow jungle paths to hidden waterfalls, or walk through the emerald rice fields of Wanukaka that continue to shape the island’s landscape.

At NIHI Sumba, each activity is thoughtfully curated to go beyond recreation. Our experiences are designed to connect you with the island’s culture, its people, and its extraordinary natural surroundings.
