The island retreat of Nihiwatu on the Indonesian island of Sumba, 250 miles southeast of Bali, has created a new full-day safari spa experience for guests to the resort that faces the Indian Ocean.
The ‘Nihi Oka Spa Safari’ package takes guests of the 21-villa property on a journey across Sumba’s west coast to the secluded nearby Nihi Oka valley via either a 90-minute trek or an open-air land safari vehicle. A one-hour group morning yoga session is on offer before a bush-cooked breakfast in a treehouse platform located high above the beach.
Guests will be taken to their own private spa 'bale' for the day – a sheltered elevated platform hut to receive any number of pre-selected spa treatments, with views of rice paddy fields and the sea.
Treatments will include full body massages, wraps, body scrubs and foot reflexology – all using natural local ingredients.
Sights to see around the resort include waterfalls, ancient villages and butterfly trails. Sports on offer include stand-up paddle-boarding down the Wanukaka River, surfing and fishing.
