Nihiwatu, Sumba, Indonesia

Exclusive responsible luxury. Nihiwatu is a slice of paradise on the island of Sumba in eastern Indonesia. The 12 private villas, hand-built by local craftsmen using materials indigenous to Indonesia, have panoramic views of the azure Indian Ocean and private pools. Activities include world class surfing, snorkeling, fishing, scuba diving, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and visits to local villages to learn about the Sumbanese culture. Nihiwatu is an experience to remember.
