Nihiwatu Resort offers the perfect tropical escape and was the vision of Claude and Petra Graves. After spending two years living on the beach in a simple hut, and immersing themselves in the unique tribal culture of the Sumbanese, they decided to share this magical place with the rest of the world. It took another nine years to consolidate the land and build the infrastructure needed to access and enhance the natural beauty of Nihiwatu with man-made luxuries, where guests can escape the pressures of the fast lane.
