Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Monday Evening

[so_hawkward]

The sun might be setting, but the temperatures are barely dropping, and there's still plenty to do if relaxing for the evening isn't your idea of fun.

Villas

[so_hawkward]

Nihi Sumba has more than 27 uniquely designed villas, and we will be staying in five of them. Each villa offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and Nihiwatu Beach, their own plunge pools, personal staff, living areas and kitchens. You don't have to leave your villas all week! We'd like you to, though.

[OOC: Your room assignments are here.]

Kasambi Estate

[so_hawkward]

Your beds in your Kasambi Estate rooms are king or two twins, depending on what’s funnier, your pool is private, you view is spectacular, and your estate’s personal butler is moddable! Post where you are in the estate so the other members of your group can find you. NSFW goes into personal journals.

Kasambi Estate: Main Area

[sith_happened]

After his mixology class, Anakin brought back his ingredients and began to make ginger and rose cocktails.

Watching them turn color was definitely the best part.

"Anyone need a drink?" he called out to the rest of the estate.

Wamoro Estate

Puncak Estate: Pool Deck

[outofthequiver]

As tempted as she was to give horseback riding a try, Libby was a little nervous about it, and today's excursion had been a long one, and so she was there, on the pool deck, just relaxing and unwinding and enjoying the beautiful sunset and gardens. She had on her very modest swimsuit that she'd gotten last year, but, for now, she was just dipping her toes in the water, kicking around a little bit, and enjoying the peace and quiet and being thoughtful and reflective and giving silent thanks to God for creating places like Sumba Island and giving her the opportunity to actually experience it first hand.

Lantoro Estate

Around the Resort

[so_hawkward]

You can have meals served at your villas, too, but if you'd like to mingle with more than just your cohort, Nihi offers three world-class restaurants, a large pool, and some of the most spectacular beach-front property in the world. And there are theme nights!

Ombak

[so_hawkward]

The hub of dining activity is the main, sandy-floored Ombak (which means wave front) restaurant and bar lounge. Ombak, an exquisitely crafted open-air restaurant, serves dinner daily in a relaxed atmosphere (and will have breakfast tomorrow). During the week the resort creates special dining experiences. The large outside deck, cantilevered over the ocean, offers relaxed lounge seating and a spectacular private dining experience, The Nest, perched on the crest of the ocean, is perfect for a romantic dinner or an intimate group meal. Tonight's theme for dinner is white! Wear white, eat things that are white, drink White Russians...

[OOC: If you're using the Nest, let us know in the subject! First come, first gets date night]

Kaboku

[so_hawkward]

Visit Kaboku for an intimate meal of freshly caught seafood, Omakase style. Watch the sushi chefs prepare an assortment of catch-of-the-day against a backdrop of brilliant sunsets and a roaring beach fire. The chic structure captures a high-end Japanese sushi bar environment, while surrounded by the resort's signature open-air resort ambiance. The restaurant is open from 6 pm until 10 pm. The seven-course menu of local ingredients also includes avocado tofu, shrimp dumplings, Teriyaki dishes, miso soup, desserts, and more. Try the sake and wine pairing with your meal.

Nio Beach Club and Pool

[so_hawkward]

The Beach Club keeps offering drinks and snacks as the sun starts to go down, and you can get them delivered to your chair by the pool. And isn't that what vacation is really all about?

The Beach

[so_hawkward]

2.5 kilometers of white sand beach that looks like it's never been stepped on until you came along. Take a swim until it's too dark to be safe for that, watch the horses run in the surf, go for a walk at sunset. It'll be gorgeous

Activities

[so_hawkward]

Sunset Beach Horse Ride

[so_hawkward]

Enjoy a gentle stroll or pick up the pace splashing through the rolling ocean shallows. This is where you will get that amazing holiday shot!

[kawaii_complex]

Sakaki didn't really consider herself much of an equestrian, but she did like horses, and she had this icon, so clearly, this was how she was spending her evening.

Re: Sunset Beach Horse Ride

[pun_king]

"Whoa-ooah," said Graham, chuckling a little from atop his horse, leaning over to give it a fond little pat, "a little higher up with one of these guys with good old Triumph, that's for sure!"

But he was excited to get the chance to ride a horse for a change (please don't tell Triumph!), and hopefully manage to get to know his temporary mighty steed a little more with a little bit of conversation. His horse was a little rough, but he was looking forward to getting in some good practice, at least!

Re: Sunset Beach Horse Ride

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle, being from a fairytale land, of course knew how to ride a horse. Belle just hadn't had much opportunity to do so recently. She was thrilled to have occasion to ride in this setting. It was beautiful here.

Yoga

[so_hawkward]

Not up for a horse ride? The yoga studio is placed entirely so you get a beautiful view of the sun going down over the ocean while you pull your body into all sorts of bendy positions.

Re: Yoga

[sword_chocobro]

Gladio wasn't going to do that to a poor horse. Not when he could not only be doing yoga with a gorgeous view, but he could also rope Sidon into joining him. Because if Gladio doing yoga was funny...

Re: Yoga

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Zora bodies were not made with yoga in mind! Sidon knew this, of course, having taken a few yoga courses himself in his time, but that certainly wasn't going to stop him from trying and giving it his best attempt! Especially when Gladio had been so kind in inviting him; he certainly owed him one, for all his help with last week's lizalfos invasion!

Mixology Class

[so_hawkward]

Learn how to make two different cocktails using ingredients from the resort's organic garden and then go back and impress your villa-mates!

Re: Mixology Class

[sith_happened]

Was Anakin learning how to make very strong drinks? Yes, yes he was. He was on a trip with teenagers.

Re: Mixology Class

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer could already impress with her mixology skills, thank you very much. It never hurt to up her skills, though, and she wasn't a bartender because she hated it, okay?
