NIHIWATU RESORT - Surf Travel(Sumba island )
      
Key information explained
Immerse yourself in splendid isolation in the most unspoiled region of the Indonesian Archipelago. The Nihiwatu property is 438 acres of tropical forest, rice terraces and grasslands wrapped around the stunning two and half kilometer long Nihiwatu beach. This world-class beach is protected on both ends by cliffs and headlands ensuring total exclusivity for our guests.
Tucked amongst the trees of this remote island are just seven luxury bungalows and three two-bedroom villas offering complete solitude in air-conditioned comfort along with everything one needs in an idyllic tropical setting. The thatched roofed bungalows and villas, hand-built by Indonesian craftsman using local materials, have balcony vistas stretching the full length of the beach the sea and the headlands beyond. At Nihiwatu your sanctuary is superbly outfitted in contemporary Indonesian style and with large glass walls and doors to maximize the views.
To rejuvenate the body and soul we have massage and body treatments available at our Jungle and Hilltop Spas. We also have private and group Yoga instruction available under the largest traditional Sumbanese structure on the island.
The restaurant and open air dinning pavilions overlook the sea and beach. Our chefs' daily blackboard creations use only fresh homegrown vegetables, imported meats and our catch of the day. Coffee, tea and cakes are available at anytime and anywhere you want. Appetizers are served at the bar and when everyone sits down at the long tables for dinner they all take part in what often becomes very interesting conversations. Meal-time really becomes a gathering of friends.
Our bar is dramatically positioned on the cliffs edge with sweeping views of the sea, surf and the spectacular sunsets.
NIHIWATU RESORT - activities
A SURF TRAVEL DESTINATION BEYOND COMPARE
Just 100 yards off of Nihiwatu beach is one of the world's most perfect waves.
Nihiwatu faces southwest into the Indian Ocean and is ideally suited for picking up swell arriving from thousands of miles away; the surf here is very consistent. If the surf is flat here you can be sure it is flat just about everywhere else in the archipelago.
Many professional surfers have visited Nihiwatu over the years and several surf movies have been filmed here featuring the 1999 world surfing champion Mark Occhilupo. If you are seeking large double overhead surf the best times are during the months of May through October on the full and new moons. In between those times we often have perfect waves in the three to six foot range.
WORLD CLASS FISHING
Exceptional fishing grounds are only minutes away in our fully equipped deep-sea fishing boat. Here you have the best chance in Indonesia of catching all kinds of big fish.
We practice catch; photo and release billfishing; Wahoo and Spanish Mackerel are brought home for the BBQ.
EXCEPTIONAL DIVING
We are fortunate to have a choice of diverse dive sites that are right in front of the resort. Further afield, heart-pounding adventure diving on undersea mountains is available under the guidance of our experienced dive guides. The excitement is guaranteed.
BOATING EXPEDITIONS
The West Sumba coastline is absolutely stunning! Imagine perfect beaches and massive cliffs adorned with jungle and palms, all backed by distant mountains. We can take you to spectacular areas that are so remote that they can only be accessed by boat.

It is the largest traditional building of its kind on the island and is the pride of the local residents who built it.
