PRESENTATION

The small number of guests allows maximum use of the facilities and the opportunity to savor all the privacy and seclusion that Nihiwatu has to offer.

The restaurant and open air dinning pavilions overlook the sea and beach. Our chefs’ daily blackboard creations use only fresh homegrown vegetables, imported meats and our catch of the day. Guests enjoy a sampling of local and international cuisine including savory soups, barbequed fish, and fresh fruits. Coffee, tea and cakes are available at anytime and anywhere you want. We are usually able to accommodate special diet needs if guests give us adequate advance notice. Breakfast and lunches are served throughout most of the day but dinner is a special affair. Appetizers are served at the bar and when everyone sits down at the long tables for dinner they all take part in what often becomes very interesting conversations. Meal-time really becomes a gathering of friends.

The outdoor pavilions are the perfect place for romantic private dinning, be it near the beach or up on a hill, there really is nothing like eating out under the stars and moonlight.

Our bar is dramatically positioned on the cliffs edge with sweeping views of the sea, surf and the spectacular sunsets. The bar is fully stocked with a wide range of spirits and a selection of fine wines from Europe, North and South America and Australia. At sunset it becomes the pre-diner meeting place where guest share their exploits and adventures of the day. After dinner it can become quite a lively place where often times the truth will not get in the way of a good story.

Our swimming and plunge pools are located on a hilltop overlooking the beach and sea. The spectacular views from this location make this the place to be spending some time simply doing nothing at all except soaking in the sun and clocking up maximum relaxation time.

At Nihiwatu we do know how to pamper. We have positioned our outdoor Jungle Spa under the trees just above the beach to allow for privacy and great views. A full range of massage and body treatments are available which, when coupled with the sound of the surf that is only meters away, will definitely sooth both your body and soul.

Up high above the beach sits the Hilltop Spa, the ideal venue for a romantic experience. Here we can offer the “Ultimate Spa Experience”, soaking in a large scented tub, enjoying a chilled glass of wine or champagne with views to die for. Just when you think that it can’t get any better, it does … foot baths, massages, body scrubs, facials; this is an experience you will never forget!

Bungalows

During your stay at Nihiwatu, your home will be one of only seven bungalows and three two bedroom villas that have been hand built by Indonesian craftsman. Each offers all of the comforts and the serenity expected. Your balcony features comfortable rattan chairs and a day bed with views to die for. All of our accommodations are ocean facing and fully air-conditioned with mosquito nets, mini-bars, in room safes, hot water, hair dryers and bathroom amenities.

Luxury Bungalows
We have seven comfortable one bedroom bungalows with king sized beds or with twins on request. The bungalows are complete with furnished balconies overlooking the ocean and sunsets; and with bathrooms having showers, hair dryers and the amenities you expect.

Nihiwatu Villas
We have two spacious villas that are perfect for friends wanting to stay closer together as well as for families wanting more space. Each villa has two large bed and bathrooms and a large balcony, all tastefully decorated with Indonesian antiques and furnishings.

Haweri Villa
Villa Haweri is dramatically positioned on a small headland with over two and half acres of spectacular waterfront land bordered on two sides by water with the jungle behind. The villa is separate from the resort yet close enough to feel a part of it. Living here offers total seclusion and privacy. There are two bedrooms and bathrooms in the main house with a third bedroom in a luxurious detached bungalow. The Villa also features its own waterfront swimming pool and a magnificent hill top living and dining room that has a fully outfitted kitchen … and butler service of course.
