Nihiwatu is the most beautiful place I have ever had the privilege of visiting. I have spent years visiting Bali and absolutely love it, but Sumba Island is pure perfection. The scenery is gorgeous, the staff of the hotel is amazing and the island people are welcoming. My children and I had the privilege of helping at the Sumba Foundation... More

Having read all the fantastic reviews on trip advisor prior to the trip, I high very high expectations upon boarding the charter flight from Bali to Sumba. Right from the beginning expectations were exceeded.. We expected to be boarding a vintage twin prop plane which is typical in Indonesia and were surprised to find that the Nihiwatu charter flight is... More

This was our 1st visit to Nihiwatu and it meet all our expectations. The location is the perfect place to get away and just relax. My main reason for going was for surf but wanted to make sure my wife would have the comforts needed for her to enjoy our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and have all the... More

Having just returned from a week spent at Nihiwatu I can say with confidence that this resort is set in one of the prettiest locations you will find. An unspoilt and remote piece of luxury which accommodates people with broad interests - not just surfers. Plenty to do, great food, amazing staff, world class waves and top notch accommodation. We...

We didnt think our second trip to Nihiwatu could get any better than the first, but it did. This is the perfect holiday for us.The natural setting where Nihiwatu sits on the hillside is so beautiful and is set discreetly in the environment. There is much to love about this place, the list is endless. The surf, the beach,the acommodation,... More

We recently went to Nihiwatu for our honeymoon. We wanted a special and unique experience, which Nihiwatu more than delivered on. We saw amazing sights, had moving experiences, learned new things and had lots of healthy, active fun. This is not your standard 'luxury' destination where the price tag is justified by acres of marble, bad art and endless buffets.... More

Another sensational two weeks in Nihiwatu have just flown by. The resort and the staff are extraordinary and I can recommend them without limitation. All aspects of the facilities and services are extremely well considered and perfectly executed. Each time we have stayed we are invigorated by the range of activities, the quality of the food, the attention to detail... More

Time has stood still on this unspoilt island of Sumba. The mesmerising beauty that encapsulates your heart, body and soul is breathtaking. The ease of transferring from Bali. From the check in at the domestic airport to the pick up by the resort cars at Tombolaka airport , everything is done for you by the resort staff, right down to... More

We were recommended Nihiwatu by a friend who went there on their honeymoon 5 years ago and have been itching to go since we moved to Singapore, we knew it was going to be a special place but we were still completely blown away. The dates we wanted to travel did not fit in with the charter flight so we... More
