NIHI Rote & Hospitality Academy: Surf, Beach Life and a Hospitality Academy

NIHI Rote & Hospitality Academy carries the barefoot-luxury spirit of Nihi Sumba to the remote southern island of Rote, near the southernmost point of Indonesia. Like its sibling, it is built around world-class surf and unhurried beach life, but it adds a purpose: an on-site hospitality academy training the next generation of local talent.

The dining is relaxed and ocean-facing. Ombak Restaurant is the signature al fresco table, moving from sunrise breakfasts to themed dinners including a fish-market barbecue and NIHI's legendary white party; and the Nammo Beach Club, perched over the turquoise water with an infinity pool, serves Indonesian and international dishes built on local ingredients.

For surfers and seekers of the truly remote, Rote is Indonesia's next frontier.
