The new Residences at Nihiwatu 2.0 offers guests the very best of tropical living. Set on a hill just above the beach amongst an established forest and overlooking the azure Indian Ocean, guests can while away the days in total exclusivity and be spoilt by the services of an attentive and discreet team of staff.
What sets the Residences apart from similar projects is the perfect balance struck between our environment, the maintaining of an authentic, rustic Sumbanese feel, and providing a true luxury experience at its finest.
Nihiwatu 2.0 was designed by the best minds in eco-design and alternative engineering, the intent was to define eco-luxury. All buildings have been constructed from locally sourced materials, particularly bamboo, teak, stone and alang-alang grass. They feature intricately carved recycled Sumba poles, floor to ceiling glass panels and walls plastered with local clay. The fittings and furnishings are of exceptional quality.
Each Residence features a variety of accommodation options, including Luxury Suites, and Villas. Each Luxury Villa has a large, open-plan living and dining pavilion, a large swimming pool and two Luxury Suites, both of which can also be rented individually. Individual rooms range in size from 160 to 190 m2. The interiors are spacious opening to large decks with spectacular views, and the bathrooms have outdoor gardens with showers of traditionally carved Sumba stone.
Nihiwatu 2.0 is the new model of eco-development. The entire property makes use of old and modern alternative technology incorporating re-cycled water systems, advanced LED lighting powered by batteries and inverters, and other unique energy systems designed specifically to meet our base criteria ... use minimal power without sacrificing the luxury experience, significantly reduce our consumption of fuel, reduce water usage and recover and re-use the water we use.
