If enjoying an unpretentious drinking and dining atmosphere with sand floors is your idea of a good time, then this is your spot.

Lose yourself in the peace and solitude of Nihiwatu, an exquisite sanctuary in the midst of the wild and untamed glory of Indonesia. On the remote island of Sumba, you'll be transported to a world that has remained unchanged for centuries.

Nestled among the trees, thatch-roofed bungalows and villas offer unparalleled privacy and comfort in an idyllic tropical setting.

Spend your days meditating on the beauty that surrounds you, from the lush jungle on one side to the exclusive beach and Indian Ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see on the other. Lounge by pools that overlook the beach and sea, or take advantage of the world-class fishing, surfing, and diving available on your doorstep. As evening sets in, enjoy the catch of the day as you dine in the open air, watching a fiery sunset fade to the glitter of countless stars in the night sky.

Traveling to Nihiwatu is part of your adventure

You'll fly into Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and have a chance to explore as you stay overnight, then take a connecting flight in the morning to Tambolaka airport on Sumba Island. From there, a 90-minute drive through the magnificent countryside brings you to Nihiwatu, a beautiful secluded bay on the remote southwestern coast of the island surrounded by tropical forest and rice terraces, and featuring one of the world's best beaches.

Nihiwatu. A place that time seems to have forgotten, but that you'll remember forever.  Interested? Book your trip to paradise here.
