My wife and I have been repeat guests at Nihiwatu Resort for 5 years. Every time we go there, we absolutely love it. The resort has made many recent changes over the past year. They have designed and built new villas/luxury bungalows with amazing views, the restaurant location has changed and there is a new gourmet chef. They recently purchased... More

Who can remember Mykonos in the 60's, Ibiza in the 50's, the Maldives before the 80's or when Phuket was just a breezy beach town with a few snack shacks and rooms to let for less than a few baht a day? Few. Why? Because there are forgotten and remote worlds on this planet that are so relatively off-the-beaten path... More

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Nihiwatu Resort in Sumba, Indonesia. It is by far the most beautiful resort I have ever seen. Sumba is a gorgeous island. The culture there is facinating. The resort itself is an incredible place. The architecture blends into the land, the style is primitive luxury. The staff is so friendly and helpful.... More

We arrived from Bali having had a very spoiling stay there. Nihiwatu though blew us away. The island of Sumbawa remains untouched and still retains real culture and beautiful countryside. The hotel itself is situated in the most beautiful place with its own 4km beach. The hotel has just undergone a lot of building work and the rooms were exceptional,... More

From the welcoming greet to the room escort service and the room itself.....it is beyond expectation. The view is outstanding, the food is great. the pool in front of the room is perfect. The boat house is... More

I'm a surfer from Malibu--and over the years had heard great stories about the waves and the resort at Nihiwatu in Sumba. This year, I decided to go--and experience the myth, first hand, for myself.... I was not disappointed in any way, other than its extremely remote locale, which, on second thought, is what makes Nihiwatu great...hard to get to,... More

We would also like to endorse the views expressed by Cath1987. We stayed in Nihiwatu in March 2013 just after the revamped resort had opened. It was officially still the rainy season but the rains stopped just as we got off the plane at Tambolaka Airport, to be met by Martin and crew. We were shown to our car and... More

My husband and I traveled to Nihiwatu for our honeymoon for one week this March, and we definitely choose the right place! I booked Nihiwatu after scouring the Internet for a luxurious place that has surf but also extra activities I could enjoy while my husband enjoys the waves. Luckily it lived up to all its expectations in those areas.... More
