Nihi Sumba on the remote Indonesian island of Sumba has been named the world's best hotel by Travel + Leisure and consistently ranks among the finest resorts on earth. The 33 villas are perched on a clifftop above a private surf break — Occy's Left — that is one of the best waves in the world. The resort's spa, Nihioka, is built in the jungle above the beach and is the most extraordinary wellness destination in Southeast Asia. Nihi Sumba's community programme, which employs over 500 local Sumbanese, is the most comprehensive in Indonesian tourism.
