Today, we're headed deep off the beaten path to a forgotten island in Indonesia called Sumba. While it’s twice as large as Bali and has only 700,000 inhabitants - Sumba has barely any tourism to the island. 

If it’s starting to sound TOO remote, don’t worry because we uncovered a luxury gem, or as our guest, James McBride, would call it - geographically opulent. 

James is the CEO of NIHI Sumba, a gorgeous property on a beautiful swath of beach. But the big draw here is the experiences - from world class surfing, to free diving, to spending special moments with the property’s famous horses. 

James and I talk about the culture of the island which has persisted for thousands of years, the stunning landscape, and how NIHI’s philosophy of organic growth has led to this one of a kind experience. 

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interesting episode of Luxury Travel Insider.
