About The Hotel

Situated in the spectacular Sumba Island, the award-winning Nihi Sumba was bought by Chris Burch during one of his trips to the island. Each of the 27 villas have been individually decorated to reflect the beautiful architecture and set an example of a sustainable operation in harmony with the environment and the Sumbanese people.

Every detail in all rooms – crisp white bed linens on Nihi's signature canopy beds, handmade chocolate in the mini bar, sweeping panoramic views of the Indian ocean – is designed to make you feel both at home yet completely transported.

Swim with horses or snorkel. Or explore the the Indian Ocean’s underwater sea life surrounding the island via paddle or surf board.

Sustainable Initiatives

Community Minded

NIHI Sumba was born of a vision to protect and preserve the unique Sumbanese culture and empower the local communities to improve their lives. Since its inception, the Sumba Foundation has helped over 45,000 islanders gain access to clean, potable water, and has eliminated malaria on the island by up to 93 percent. It has also greatly improved the health of over half a million locals by providing and ensuring better access to healthcare and nourishing food. While on-property, it is possible and highly encouraged to take a Sumba Foundation Tour to learn more about the project. On a half-day excursion, you’ll visit one of the foundation’s many ground-breaking water projects, stop in at a malaria clinic and/or head to a local school to partake in the foundation’s lunch program and to meet the children from the island.
