Nihi Sumba

It may be hidden away on one of Indonesia’s lesser-visited islands, but NIHI Sumba is one of the country’s most well-known resorts. And for good reason – the luxurious private pool villas are strewn along a hillside above a private beach. Each one features traditional Sumbanese designs, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, private gardens, and ocean views. When it comes to activities, you can be as active or as lazy as you wish. Surf Occy’s Left right outside the resort – this is one of the most renowned breaks in the world. Alternatively, swap surfboards for saddles with a gallop along the beach on one of the resident horses. For something a little less adrenaline-fuelled, fit in a yoga session, get pampered in the spa, or sharpen your skills with a cooking or chocolate-making class. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, choose from the three dining venues on offer.
