Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Friday Day

[amitragic]

It was another beautiful day on break! Pay absolutely no mind to how close to the end of it the week was getting.

(Still, enjoy your last full day in paradise, folks.)

Villas

[amitragic]

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

[amitragic]

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: C Bedroom

[somethingwithturquoise]

Since she'd already portaled back to Fandom, Summer had considered just staying there, but, at the same time, there was still a full day left of her free vacation, and she wasn't going to let some long overdue breakup just ruin that, dammit. So after a much needed evening of just having a place to bawl her eyes out and snuggle with a cat, she returned back to Sumba and to her room to dig up something particularly cute to wear and maybe try to pretend like nothing had happened.

Wamoro Estate

Around the Resort

[amitragic]

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.

Ombak

[amitragic]

The hub of dining activity is the main, sandy-floored Ombak (meaning wave front) restaurant and bar lounge. Ombak, an exquisitely crafted open-air restaurant, offers a la carte breakfast each morning.

The large outside deck, cantilevered over the ocean, offers relaxed lounge seating.

Nio Beach Club (and Pool)

[amitragic]

Just bare footsteps from the sea, the Nio Beach Club offers open-aired pavilions serving the highest quality of fresh ingredients: whether it is a fish just caught from sea, delicious vegetables and legumes from our three abundant organic gardens, items from the grill, daily rotisserie, or freshly made pizzas from our wood fired clay oven, the chef and his team will satiate your appetite with delicious, healthy dishes.

The Beach

[amitragic]

2.5 kilometers of white sand beach that looks like it's never been stepped on until you came along. Get a fruity drink and a tan!

Re: The Beach

Connor had already spent a lot of time on the beach, but it was just so nice and peaceful. So at some point in the day Connor had made it down from the room and parked himself in a chair on the beach. The hangover was mostly gone, and just relaxing the rest of it away sounded good. And that was what he was intending to do!

Activities

Spa Safari

[amitragic]

One last indulgence before going back to Maryland in February: Tailored to indulge each one of your senses, the Spa Safari™ at Nihioka is a one of a kind experience not to be missed. The day begins just after sunrise with a 90-minute optional trek through rolling hills, expansive rice fields, and a traditional Sumbanese village. After the trek, cold towels and fresh coconut await you before arriving at your dining area cantilevered over a private natural cove, where a full breakfast is served. After breakfast your spa therapist will show you to your private cliffside Bale (bah-lay). Once settled, you may choose to enjoy a swim in the ocean or simply dive right in to your selection of treatments, which range from body wraps and scrubs to 90-minute massages and an organic facial. Ultimately the day is centered on you: your wants and your needs at whatever pace truly allows you to unwind. Guests are driven in open-air vehicles back to the resort as the sun sets, having experienced both adventure and serenity in equal measure.

Now, that just after sunrise bit was not at all Irene's favorite -- not to mention how little it turned out she enjoyed the prospect of trekking.

But the cold towels and breakfast and entire day focused on her made up for it in spades, and if anyone needed Irene, you'd probably have to raise your voice to be heard over the sound of her obvious bliss once they started on treatments.

Re: Spa Safari

It was a good thing that Summer did get back fairly early, because this was exactly the sort of thing that she needed right now, please and thank you, definitely worth the repeated emotional trauma that using her portal gun caused at every glowing pink press of a button.

Re: Spa Safari

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon wasn't asleep anyway, so he figured he might as well do this. It sounded nice and low-key, anyway.

Unfortunately, he got fidgety at the whole "being cared for" part of it. Being the center of everything (when it wasn't being tortured or experiencing fear) was just jarring.

Re: Spa Safari

For a full day of pampering, Tahani would deign to leave her villa.

The body wrap was especially divine. Was she sending boastful selfies to Alexis? Of course she was.

(But not to Posh. Posh had been here.)

Re: Spa Safari

[sake_shinigami]

The spa was pretty much a no-brainer for Shunsui, who didn't even have to worry about the early departure time, since he never bothered sleeping that night, anyway. One hardly needed to wake up for something if they'd been up the whole time, occupied as he was in his own varied pursuits of one pleasure or another.

(He would more than make up for it here and there, to be sure).

Re: Spa Safari

[wildgalegirl]

Charlie? Was having a spa day. Oh yes! A little pampering was just exactly the perfect way to spend her last full day here! And yes, she did the 90 minute optional trek to earn her relaxation!

Re: Spa Safari

[chef_chocobro]

The things Ignis could enjoy that didn't involve food were few and far between, and the whole concept of self-care was a newly discovered thing that, with no other real purpose in life anymore, he was a bit more willing to embrace. It did feel a bit odd, at times, but, for the most part, he could easily see himself getting more used to things like this...

Jet Skiing

[amitragic]

Reserve a jet ski for a spin around the water in the Nihiwatu bay.

Lamboya Highlands Hike

[amitragic]

This trek will take you to the remote area of Lamboya, where some of the most isolated and authentic villages are located. We will drive by car to the top of the Highlands, and after visiting the scenic village of Pakat we’ll slowly traverse by foot down to the riverbed taking in the views of the coast and farmlands along the way. Following the three-mile trek, we will take a short transfer by car to nearby “Rice Island” an elevated jungle that rises above the rice fields where snacks will be served.
