Nihi Sumba will welcome the festive season with its ‘Wild Wonderland’ programme, running from 22 December 2026 to 1 January 2027. The Indonesian resort will combine oceanfront celebrations, seasonal dining and activities inspired by Sumba's local traditions to create a distinctive Christmas and New Year experience.
A highlight of the programme is Raja Puncak, a three-bedroom hilltop villa overlooking Nihiwatu Beach and the Indian Ocean. Designed for families and groups, the villa accommodates up to six adults. It features a lap pool, open-air gazebo and spacious living areas. A dedicated Guest Kapten will also oversee the stay, ensuring personalised service throughout.
Christmas celebrations will blend familiar festive traditions with local experiences. Guests can enjoy ornament making, gingerbread decorating and an outdoor screening of Home Alone. On Christmas Eve, the programme includes Mini Pasola and beach activities, followed by a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Christmas Day will bring a scavenger hunt and a gift-giving event with local children. Guests can then gather for a festive barbecue lunch and sunset drinks.
The celebrations will continue into New Year's Eve with sunset cocktails and a bonfire ritual at the Boathouse. On New Year's Day, guests can enjoy a relaxed barbecue brunch accompanied by live music at Nio Beach Club.
Beyond the festive programme, Nihi Sumba offers a range of outdoor and wellness experiences. These include horseback riding, surfing and the signature Nihioka Spa Safari.
With its ‘Edge of Wildness™’ philosophy, Nihi Sumba combines beachfront luxury, nature and local culture. Its Wild Wonderland programme offers families and couples an opportunity to celebrate the holidays while discovering the distinctive character of Sumba.
