It’s hard to put into words a place as social, warm, and magical as NIHI. We visited to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the entire team went above and beyond. Mary, the manager, surprised us with a beautiful upgrade that far exceeded our expectations—we felt so grateful and excited for what was to come. We were cared for by two incredible butlers, Ayu and Eca, who were attentive, kind, and thoughtful in every way. When my daughter suddenly had ear pain, Eca didn’t hesitate—she immediately called the in-house doctor, who arrived quickly, checked her ear, and provided medicine on the spot. Eca even helped arrange our complimentary laundry pickup without us lifting a finger. Their service was beyond exceptional. At the restaurants, we were lucky to have Dorkas as our server for lunch and dinner. She was warm, gentle, and made every meal feel personal and memorable. And the food… wow. Every dish was delicious, and the entire dining experience felt curated with intention. I especially loved the sand floors—it instantly relaxes you and adds to the unique NIHI charm. My yoga session with Martin was both refreshing and challenging in the best way, leaving me energized and grounded. And the stable team—simply phenomenal. What touched us most was how gentle, loving, and patient they were with my 5-year-old daughter. Whether she was swimming with the horses, doing a sunset ride, or just spending time at the stables, they made her feel completely safe and adored. She even got to join the kids’ chocolate-making activity, which was the sweetest experience—she absolutely loved it and still talks about it. The entire property is breathtaking—beautifully designed, thoughtful, and peaceful. Every detail feels carefully curated to create moments you’ll carry forever. One more tip: I highly, highly recommend booking your flights directly with NIHI. It adds another layer of seamless luxury to the experience. From the moment we landed in Bali, everything was handled—baggage care, check-in assistance, transitions—effortless and unforgettable. It made our journey just as special as the stay itself. I cannot thank the NIHI team enough for giving us such a heartfelt, magical experience. We left with full hearts and memories we’ll cherish forever. We
