2026 at the Edge of Wildness

As the new year unfolds, we welcome 2026 with energy, intention, and a deep sense of momentum. Across the months ahead, we invite you into a series of experiences that reflect what NIHI does best.

From the spirit of the Fire Horse to rare equestrian journeys, from newly introduced romantic escapes to soulful culinary stories, here is a first look at what is unfolding at NIHI in the year ahead.

As we move into the Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac, this moment holds deep resonance at NIHI Sumba.

Horses and equestrian experiences are central to life here, shaping how guests connect with land and instinct. This spirit comes to life through our Year of the Fire Horse Equine Package, as well as a series of rare equestrian retreats throughout the year.

A highlight is a signature retreat with Candice Webster, alongside additional intimate retreats guided by horse whisperer Carol Sharpe.

New for the year ahead, Wildly in Love is a romantic journey shaped by presence, freedom, and island rhythm.

On the shores of Sumba, where horses run free and the ocean moves endlessly, couples are invited into barefoot dinners under the stars, shared swims in endless blue, healing rituals, and quiet moments of discovery. Three nights of romance, connection, and island magic.
