Twice crowned No.1 in the World by Travel + Leisure in 2016 and 2017, it\u2019s a destination with soul. Here, luxury isn\u2019t just about stunning villas and sweeping ocean views (although, trust us, they\u2019re breathtaking). It\u2019s about connection \u2013 to the land, the culture, and the people of Sumba.<\/p>\n<p>The resort\u2019s heart beats in harmony with the island\u2019s vibrant heritage. From ancestral rituals to sunset bonfires, every experience is steeped in Sumba\u2019s traditions. But perhaps its most inspiring legacy is the Sumba Foundation, which NIHI partners with to bring clean water, healthcare, education, and sustainable practices to the local community. So when you stay at NIHI, you\u2019re not just treating yourself \u2013 you\u2019re making a difference.<\/p>\n<h3>Why NIHI should be on your 2025 bucket list<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-184200 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/Nihi-Sumba-luxury-resort-in-Sumba-Indonesia-Asia-1-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"Nihi Sumba luxury resort in Sumba Indonesia Asia 1\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/Nihi-Sumba-luxury-resort-in-Sumba-Indonesia-Asia-1-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/Nihi-Sumba-luxury-resort-in-Sumba-Indonesia-Asia-1-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/02\/Nihi-Sumba-luxury-resort-in-Sumba-Indonesia-Asia-1.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For years, <a href=\"https:\/\/nihi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NIHI Sumba<\/a> has been the \u201cmust-visit\u201d destination for all well-heeled travellers to Indonesia.

I\u2019m Louise \u2013 editor of Honeycombers Bali \u2013 and I've lived in Bali full-time for the last 13 years. My passion for Indonesia runs deep: I\u2019ve explored 50+ islands across the archipelago, and I\u2019ve personally reviewed more than 500 hotels, restaurants, bars, and spas throughout Bali. Every recommendation I share comes from real experience, shaped by years of living, working, and travelling here. Whether you\u2019re chasing hidden beaches, the hottest new restaurants, or authentic cultural sites, you\u2019re getting trusted advice from someone who truly knows and loves Bali.","knowsAbout":["Bali travel","food","luxury hotels","Indonesian culture"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Indonesian"],"jobTitle":"Editor & Director","url":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/author\/louise\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49482"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/103394"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49482"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":188821,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49482\/revisions\/188821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
