The Ultimate Luxury Honeymoon Villa: Nihi Sumba
Our Indonesian adventure began with the absolute pinnacle of romance: a helicopter arrival at NIHI Sumba on Sumba Island. Imagine touching down directly onto the golden sands, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean stretching out before you. This resort truly offers the ultimate luxury honeymoon experience. We stayed in one of their 12 private beachfront villas, each a sanctuary of peace and exquisite design. The feeling of stepping out of your villa directly onto your own private stretch of beach is unparalleled. Sumba, with its rugged beauty and untouched landscapes, provides the perfect backdrop for such an exclusive escape.
But Indonesia’s luxury offerings extend far beyond Sumba. For those seeking pristine marine environments, Bawah Reserve is an absolute must-see. This incredible escape consists of six tropical islands, located 160 nautical miles northeast of Singapore, nestled within a pristine marine conservation area. The commitment to preserving its natural beauty is evident everywhere. Another highlight for luxury travelers is Amanjiwo hotel in Yogyakarta, the recommended opulent base for exploring the awe-inspiring Borobodur and Prambanan temples. We also made sure to visit Komodo National Park, accessed via Flores, the gateway island to the park and its famous Komodo dragons – a truly wild and unforgettable encounter. For wildlife enthusiasts, Tangkoko National Park on Sulawesi offers opportunities to spot rare macaques and even sea kayak on the Lembeh Strait. In northern Bali, Munduk provides a different kind of luxury, with private villas offering access to stunning waterfall hikes and nature treks.
