Nihi Sumba

Nihi Sumba has been crowned the world's best hotel by Travel + Leisure multiple times, outperforming #1's beachfront with its own 2.5-kilometer private coastline and 33 villas that are 30% more spacious than the average resort in Indonesia. Surfers flock for the perfect left-hand break at Warrior's Point, while horseback rides along the sand and village visits to local Sumbanese communities provide cultural depth unmatched by #4's theatrical camp. Nightly rates start at $1,200, a 25% discount compared to Aman Villas, yet the all-inclusive package covers farm-to-table dining, spa treatments, and guided treks. With a 92% occupancy rate and 100% renewable energy use, Nihi leads in sustainability among the Top 10, proving that luxury and eco-responsibility coexist.
