Tucked within a secluded, lush corner of the property, the Garden Spa is a tranquil sanctuary where wellness unfolds amid nature’s purest expressions. Winding stone paths lead you through the Relaxation Garden, where daybeds invite moments of quiet reflection before or after treatments.
Hidden bales are nestled among the trees—one perched high in the treetops, another built gently into the rock, and a third enclosed for comfort and privacy—each thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the surrounding beauty. A steam room, cold plunge, and outdoor shower complete this sensory journey, surrounded by tropical greenery and the soothing sounds of the wild.
Our carefully curated menu blends traditional Indonesian healing rituals with NIHI’s signature guest favorites—including the deeply relaxing NIHI Freedom Massage, grounding Kadu Karabau, and transformative sound and energy therapies. Every experience is designed to rejuvenate the body, calm the mind, and reconnect you with what matters most.
A very important pathway to wellness at NIHI® is being exposed to the rich cultural heritage of the Sumbanese people.
Through community, both at the resort and through exploration of Sumba alongside our NIHI® Guides, we discover what makes us unique but also what makes us a community.
Spending time in the company of people who live the island life can offer us immense wisdom and healing.
Come as a guest, leave as family.
Reconnect with your deepest self through slowing down, trekking, swimming or surfing, horse riding, taking in fresh air, or syncing with the natural rhythms of the day like rising with the sun and watching it set, letting simple moments open our senses, with nature as our guide and healer.
This serves as a natural detoxification from the overstimulation of the modern world where we are bombarded with messages and frenetic energy.
We even encourage our guests to consider embracing a digital detox while at NIHI®.
