Located on the picturesque, largely untouched eastern Indonesian island of Sumba, Nihiwatu is one of the best eco-resorts you’ll find anywhere in the world.
The natural surroundings are simply astonishing: the resort stretches across 560 acres of pristine natural landscape, which includes two and a half kilometers (over three miles) of private beach. And there really are lots of water-related activities guests can try out: surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, free diving, spearfishing, or kayaking.
The accommodations are excellent and manage to strike that perfect balance between timeless natural beauty and modern luxury. The resort is comprised of 21 spacious and well –appointed villas, offering among other things private pools and great ocean views.
The man responsible for the culinary experience at Nihiwatu is acclaimed Mexican Executive Head Chef Bernard Prim — and you can sample his work in one of the resort’s excellent dining venues: Menara, Nio Beach Club, or Ombak. Or you can go for a more private, unique experience with the destination dining option, allowing you to have your meal somewhere truly special. It’s just one of the many ways to take advantage of this stunning spot.
