NIHI Sumba

In an isolated setting on the west coast of Sumba, surrounded by tropical forest and rice terraces, NIHI Sumba overlooks 2.5 kilometres of pristine private beach that’s home to the island’s famous ‘Occy’s Left’ left-hand surf break. Born out of a dream to ride the perfect wave, this remote retreat is arguably the most stylish and luxurious surf resort in Asia. However, it’s not solely aimed at surfers. Anyone can appreciate the spectacular location, the kick-back chilled vibe and incredible private pool villas.

Each hand-built villa at NIHI Sumba features a pool and wooden terrace, skillfully softened amidst the surrounding greenery. If you’re here to surf, you’ll be one of only ten experienced surfers allowed on the water each day, hence the break’s cult status. Beginners can hit the water with surf lessons at nearby Nihiwatu beach, head out on paddle-boards and kayaks, or explore marine life with a snorkel or dive expedition. Away from the sea, relaxation and quiet moments can be found at the spa and yoga pavilion, and afternoon tea can be enjoyed at the highest point of the resort – the homemade banana bread is not to be missed.
