Sumba Island

Top 10s logo 

Nihi Sumba is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Beach Hotels and Top 10 Romantic Retreats.

NIHI Sumba is 438 acres of tropical forest, rice terraces and grasslands wrapped around the stunning two and half kilometer long Nihiwatu beach.

This world-class beach is protected on both ends by cliffs and headlands ensuring total exclusivity and understated luxury. Tucked amongst the trees of this remote island are 32 villas, including one, two and three-bedroom villas offering you complete solitude in air-conditioned comfort with everything one needs in an idyllic tropical setting. The thatched roofed bungalows and villas have balcony panoramas stretching the full length of the beach, the sea and the headlands beyond.

Nearby you will find a living and dining room and adjacent is the cliff-top bar overlooking the sea. On the beach below is the jungle spa and the water sports activity hut is close by. Overlooking the full length of Nihiwatu beach is a swimming pool area where you can lose yourself to the views.

There are a multitude of wonderful experiences to enjoy at NIHI Sumba. From surfing one of the worlds best left-hand break waves to star-lit dining – there is a personalised approach to each guest, so your stay is crafted to be shaped by pleasure and not design.

Client Testimonials

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
