Where adventure, community and barefoot luxury exist in effortless harmony.
Recognised among the World’s Best Hotels by Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, NIHI Sumba is far more than a resort — it is an experience that resonates long after departure. Set on a remote island east of Bali, this remarkable retreat celebrates culture, connection and conservation in equal measure. Each stay contributes directly to the work of the Sumba Foundation, supporting local communities through education, healthcare and access to clean water.

NIIHI Sumba is a luxury resort with a conscience.

A new rhythm of Indonesia — where creativity, culture, and wild coastline meet.

On the untouched shores of Southwest Sumba, where long waves roll onto empty beaches and village life moves to ancient rhythms, Cap Karoso offers a different perspective on traditional island luxury. Less about spectacle and more about connection, it’s a place shaped by design, community, and a deep respect for the land.

Here, life settles into an easy island rhythm — mornings start with coffee overlooking the Indian Ocean, afternoons are spent between surf, farm visits or horseback rides along the sand, and evenings centre around exceptional food grown just steps from the kitchen.

Cap Karoso feels contemporary yet deeply rooted — a modern beachfront retreat that celebrates Sumba not as a backdrop, but as the heart of the experience.
