On a little-known but rather big Indonesian island not far from Bali and just South of Flores, NIHI runs one of the best luxury eco-resorts in the world.
With 27 private villas spread over 567 acres (230 hectares) of jungle land, it's also one of the most private and remote places. The resort was constructed in 1988 and named after the beach Nihiwatu, which means "mortar stone" in the local language, due to its iconic rock formations in the sea.
When billionaire Christopher Burch purchased the hotel in 2012, he transformed it into a globally acclaimed luxury resort.
