This beach does have a quiet and comfortable atmosphere so it is suitable for those who want to be alone and enjoy the atmosphere of the beach. This is because the location of Nihiwatu Beach is far from the hustle of the city and has not been touched by industries in Indonesia.

The waves in this place are also one of the fastest and the best in Indonesia. Even surfers dub this beach as the God’s Left.
However, not all tourists can enjoy the beauty and awesomeness of the waves at Nihiwatu Beach, even for locals. This is because Nihiwatu Beach is included in the territory of an international resort, the Resort Nihiwatu. So, tourists who want to enjoy the beauty of Nihiwatu Beach, of course, have to book a room first at the Nihiwatu Sumba Hotel, which is quite expensive even for one night.
The resort building consists of villas facing the sea. Some of the bungalows consist of three large bedrooms built on a hill and equipped with a private swimming pool directly overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Similarly, the restaurant is deliberately built facing the beach with an open building model. The architecture and ornamentation of the buildings are combinations of traditional and modern designs.
