NIHI Sumba - Hotel Review
"A cluster of private villas ensconced within a series of curling stone pathways flanked by banyan, banana, palm and frangipani trees. Each has its own glassy infinity pool, ocean view and private butler. A wealth of activities keeps you busy, or you can simply kick back in bliss."
