| PROPERTY AMENITIES |
|
* The restaurant and open air dinning pavilions overlook the sea and beach. The chefs’ daily blackboard creations use only fresh homegrown vegetables, imported meats and catch of the day. Guests enjoy a sampling of local and international cuisine including savory soups, barbequed fish, and fresh fruits. Coffee, tea and cakes are available at anytime and anywhere you want. The hotel is usually able to accommodate special diet needs if guests give us adequate advance notice. Breakfast and lunches are served throughout most of the day but dinner is a special affair. Appetizers are served at the bar and when everyone sits down at the long tables for dinner they all take part in what often becomes very interesting conversations. Meal-time really becomes a gathering of friends.
* The outdoor pavilions are the perfect place for romantic private dinning, be it near the beach or up on a hill, there really is nothing like eating out under the stars and moonlight.
* The bar is dramatically positioned on the cliffs edge with sweeping views of the sea, surf and the spectacular sunsets. The bar is fully stocked with a wide range of spirits and a selection of fine wines from Europe, North and South America and Australia. At sunset it becomes the pre-diner meeting place where guest share their exploits and adventures of the day. After dinner it can become quite a lively place where often times the truth will not get in the way of a good story.
* The swimming and plunge pools are located on a hilltop overlooking the beach and sea. The spectacular views from this location make this the place to be spending some time simply doing nothing at all except soaking in the sun and clocking up maximum relaxation time.
* The hotel has positioned outdoor Jungle Spa under the trees just above the beach to allow for privacy and great views. A full range of massage and body treatments are available which, when coupled with the sound of the surf that is only meters away, will definitely sooth both your body and soul. Up high above the beach sits the Hilltop Spa, the ideal venue for a romantic experience.
* There are few places better suited for Yoga, Pilates and Meditation than Nihiwatu. American Peter Jones is resident instructor and he is available at anytime of the day for private or group practice and instruction. The venue is inspiring; the structure is built according to traditional Sumba spirit house design and constructed following traditional methods and materials. It is the largest traditional building of its kind on the island and is the pride of the local residents who built it. |

| ROOM AMENITIES |
|
* During your stay at Nihiwatu, your home will be one of only seven bungalows and three two bedroom villas that have been hand built by Indonesian craftsman. Each offers all of the comforts and the serenity expected. Your balcony features comfortable rattan chairs and a day bed with views to die for. All of accommodations are ocean facing and fully air-conditioned with mosquito nets, mini-bars, in room safes, hot water, hair dryers and bathroom amenities.
* There is a minimum stay of five nights but the hotel recommend a stay of one week or more so that you can really experience all that Nihiwatu has to offer; the time you need to relax, to explore the island, indulge in sport, make friends among fellow guests and become part of the Nihiwatu family. A shorter visit hardly allows enough time to rest from the strain of travel and enjoy your holiday. This hotel is fortunate to have a very high percentage of returning guests, most who stay longer on their second and third visits with us. |
