Eco Luxury Camps and Lodges in the World

Nihiwatu, an exclusive lodge built on a private reserve of 438 acres, is located in the Indonesian archipelago on the south-western coast of the island of Sumba. This island is well-known amongst divers and surfing enthusiasts for the exceptional beauty of the sea and coastline. Surrounded by dense tropical forest, rice terraces and a 2.5-km stretch of pure white sand, the eco-lodge is constructed in recycled wood, bamboo and local stone. All of the cottages at the lodge, magnificent examples of ethno-minimal architecture and décor and covered with thatched roofs, are fitted with elegant beds, outdoor relaxation areas with day-beds, bathrooms with showers and spacious verandas where visitors can observe the sun setting over the sea. The twin-bedroom Family Villas are ideal for families with children or two couples travelling together. The Haweri Villa, which occupies an area of 3 hectares, is ideal for people looking for absolute privacy. The restaurant, which is close to the beach, offers a refined ‘Asian Fusion Style’ cuisine with different menus served every day.
