NIHI Sumba Bali Office

Top 10 Resorts in Indonesia: Readers’ Choice Awards 2023

"At Nihi Sumba, a quick 50-minute flight from Denpasar, a wilder sort of luxury reigns, where adventure (one of the world’s best private waves, God’s Left, is in front of the hotel) and solitude—550 acres of sand and forest—is more prized than pomp. As if the Cast Away vibes weren't strong enough, the resort also offers a Robinson Crusoe–style, three-villa treehouse in addition to its 27 villas. Round out your stay with the very active to-do list on the island: Catching a wave on Occy's Left and horseback riding over at Sandalwood. With strong ties to the local community and an ethos that channels the rustic surf hotel it once was, Nihi has managed the near impossible: five stars and cool."
