A luxury resort emanating the sacred wonders of Bali, Nihi Sumba allows guests to fully immerse in a Balinese lifestyle that’s steeped in grandeur. Each villa is unique and exquisitely decorated, making travelers feel as though they’ve landed in a home away from home, instead of an impersonal hotel. Families of various sizes can find ideal accommodations as the resort offers options ranging from one-bedroom villas to five-bedroom estates. Many of these majestic selections provide outdoor soaking tubs, crisp white bed linens, signature canopy beds, handmade chocolate in the mini bar and dazzling views of the Indian Ocean.
The culinary experiences at the resort’s three restaurants are superb, as the menus are crafted to recall local flavors and far-flung tastes, and utilize fresh produce from their on-site organic garden. Details such as daily deliveries of locally caught fish, toast cooked over an open fire instead of a toaster, and other special touches make dining at Nihi Sumba a one-of-a-kind experience.
Helping to ensure guests have the bespoke cultural and adventure-filled journey they’re yearning for are the resort’s activity packages that facilitate everything from yoga, paddle boarding and a “Spa Safari,” to horseback riding, fishing and mountain biking.
While the resort attracts all varieties of adventurers, surfers are the primary residents at Nihi Sumba, as it’s home to “God’s Left,” one of the world’s most coveted private waves. This wave has been known to reward intrepid surfers with 200m to 300m long rides that flow through sections of ripple walls and heaving barrels. Beginners can join in on the fun with lessons at nearby Coconut Cove, where calmer waters can be found.
