Nihi has some incredible experiences to authentically immerse with the Sumbanese locals where you can experience their preserved ancient culture, traditions and daily life. In addition to being a small resort, they host a daily complimentary happiest hour at the Boat House for guests to interact - it's actually a great place as a solo traveler as you will meet other likeminded travellers and share stories as the sun melts over the horizon.

Generosity: The Sumba Foundation is a robust organization that is completely integrated into the DNA of Nihi and is dedicated to making a positive impact on the local Sumbanese communities. Through its various initiatives and partnerships, the foundation is committed to enriching the lives of the people on the island by supporting education, healthcare, and sustainable development projects while fostering a brighter future for the generations to come.
