Nihi Sumba sits on the remote Indonesian island of Sumba, an hour's flight and a world away from Bali, and it has become one of the most celebrated resorts on earth, repeatedly topping best-in-the-world lists. Its identity is built on wildness: horses on the beach, a spa reached by trekking, and the legendary private surf break known as Occy's Left, limited to a handful of surfers a day.
The dining follows the barefoot ethos. Ombak Restaurant is cantilevered over the ocean for breakfast and dinner, with the private clifftop table The Nest and a Thursday Indonesian BBQ; Nio Beach serves grill dishes and clay-oven pizzas and transforms into the Sumba White Nights party; and the Boathouse is the iconic sunset bar at the heart of it all.
For travelers seeking somewhere genuinely remote without giving up comfort, Nihi Sumba is singular.
